Herb Garden Intro: Brown Bag

Jen Tullo of Cyanwood Cottage

Wednesday 9/16 | 12 - 1 PM
Free Event, Meet at the Pavilion

The Arboretum’s Herb Garden is a work-in-progress area that needs an infusion of community input and energy! One of our dedicated volunteers, Jen Tullo of Cyanwood Cottage, is leading the project of revitalizing the gardens. Join us for a special Brown Bag, where she’ll go over the goals for the garden and ways community members can plug in, along with future educational offerings focused in the Herb Garden!

Sound Bathing

With Connie Magee

Wednesdays
Sept 16 & Sept 23 | 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM
Oct 14 & Oct 21 | 12 PM - 1 PM

$20 per session or $65 for full series ($15 off!)

Join Sound Healer and Yoga & Meditation Teacher Connie Magee for an etheric journey in the woods. Trees provide healing medicine for the soul, and the otherworldly tones of two large gongs and chimes provide a magical soundscape that dances within the sounds of nature. Find a comfortable spot on your yoga mat or lawn chair, settle into a guided mind-body meditation, and drift away. You'll notice the birds and woodland creatures connecting to the vibrations, and you will deeply relax and tune in simultaneously.

Please meet Connie on the Ernst Tree Terrace adjacent to the Frances Plecker Education Center.
