Did you know that TREE Foundation has created an international footprint for saving critical global forests that are integral to our children and grandchildren's future? TREE Foundation was started to raise funds for the Myakka State Park canopy walkway, the first one in North America. This walkway brings in an estimated revenue of $30 million per year in the regional economy and hosts a half-million visitors. TREE Foundation leadership used this amazing model of economic and ecological success to share it in other places. Mission Green is a program aimed at building 10 canopy walkways that will employ 100 indigenous women and families and host 1,000 students for exploration of the treetops. This talk will travel around the globe to see the results of Mission Green and why forest conservation is critical for human health.

New Moon Sound Bath with CBD Gummy Sample
The New Moon&nbsp;is a time of renewal, reflection, and setting intentions for fresh beginnings. This 60-minute sound bath&nbsp;invites you to release what no longer serves you and embrace the energy of possibility.

For an added layer of calm, enjoy an optional CBD gummy sample (THC-free)&nbsp;to ease tension, soothe the nervous system, and enhance your experience.
Relax, restore, and emerge feeling lighter, balanced, and ready for what’s ahead.

Environmental Cleaning, Odor Removal + Water Damage Services

Sarasota Flood

You cleaned, aired it out, maybe even painted… but something still lingers. That smell isn’t random. It’s coming from inside your home. Most homes look clean. Very few are environmentally reset. Air systems, materials, and surfaces carry years of living — moisture, odor, and microscopic buildup that standard cleaning doesn’t remove. Most homes aren’t clean… they’re just covered up. At Sarasota Flood, we identify and stabilize the source — not mask symptoms. Our process focuses on what’s actually happening inside the property, then applying targeted treatment to restore the environment properly. We work with homeowners, realtors, and property professionals who want clarity, not guesswork. Because a home shouldn’t just look clean… it should feel right the moment you walk in.
