SUMMARY:Still Water Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Still Water Meditation\nFirst gathering begins September 1st! \nWe have a handful of facilitators lined up to provide this beautiful space for calm and stillness. Our first Silent Sit will be lead by Leslie Weber. Join us for this free offering. In partnership with Neighbor-to-Neighbor. \nArrive up to 30min early to settle in and get to know your facilitator and fellow meditators. This is a “silent sit” which is geared toward the more seasoned mediator. Beginners are welcome but encouraged to attend our guided meditation practice Thursdays at noon. \nOne hour is allotted for this session but you are free to leave at any point that suits you. And your facilitator may or may not use the whole hour depending on the group energy for that day. We will always save sometime at the end for refreshments and connection. \nWe have a wonderful group of about 6 facilitators that will be rotating through this time slot. We hope you get to know them all! \n \n

SUMMARY:Fall Equinox Sound Bath
DESCRIPTION:Fall Equinox Sound Bath\nJoin us for a deeply meditative journey into fall with Jennifer from Sage and Soul Healing \nThe Fall Equinox has been celebrated for centuries as the 2nd and final harvest of the year. A day to reap our final harvest of the season before we slide into the cozy and slower pace of the winter months. A time when the earth rests and resets in preparation for another season of growth the following spring. The equinox is an equal portion of both sunlight and moonlight \, reminding us of the importance of balance between growth and rest. \nJoin us as we mark this turning of the seasons with a time of gratitude and reflection. Laying to rest busy season of the summer and turning our own inner compass towards the beautiful fall season.
