Shinrin Yoku (森林浴), often translated from Japanese as forest bathing, is the practice of spending slow, intentional time in a forest environment. Rather than hiking to a destination, we move gently and mindfully, allowing the forest to engage our senses and relax our nervous system.

We all have our own vibration and frequency. We can fall out of tune or vibrational harmony and potentially develop illness. Stress and negativity create blockages of a healthy flow of energy.

Sound healing can open a new door into your consciousness and has immense healing potential. Healing with sound can support and offer relief from ailments such as stress depression anxiety addiction pain and moodiness. Join us for the 90 minute session with Sound Therapist, Elise Manzo.

Dear Women,

Please join us at the Abode this Sunday for some singing! We will continue with a co-led experience, where whoever feels called, will share a song/chant for us all to learn and sing together. This sometimes includes rounds and getting creative with harmonies, but really it's about being together in-person and having fun. We will sing for about an hour and then have some time to be together for anyone who wants to stay and connect more.

This is a child-free space for all who identify as women. Feel free to spread the word!

Suggested donation of $5-$15 will go directly to the Abode for use of space.

We are excited to offer a Monthly Musical Zikr Circle at The Abode on the first Wednesday of the month.  It will be in-person only, in the Meditation Hall of The Abode. Come be part of the community, music, and harmony.

This 90-minute session introduces the core themes of Open Canopy: how creativity and imagination are innate human capacities rather than special gifts, how our daydreams and imagination function as a map of our inner life, and how the same energy we use to make something (art, music, words, food, or anything else) is the energy we use to move toward a more actualized version of ourselves.

Join us for a two hour workshop that teaches you to how to make wreaths for the winter season to come. We will do some harvesting of materials on campus, and we will be producing wreaths in our Abode Apothecary and workshop room
