Restorative Sound Bath Meditation
This immersive soothing sound session is designed to soothe the nervous system and support deep rest. The vibrations of sound help ease tension in the body and invite the nervous system into a more restorative state, offering moments of insight and a deeper connection to the body’s innate wisdom. The effects of this practice often continue throughout the day and sometimes into the week. Gentle breathwork and at times loving kindness meditation may also be woven into these sessions.
Friends Circle price: $18 | Regular price: $20
Gentle Vinyasa Yoga
A slow, meditative vinyasa practice guided by yogic breath. This class emphasizes subtle body awareness and nervous system support, with helpful verbal cues and gentle assists offered throughout the practice. Through this inward attention, we reconnect with the body’s innate wisdom and integrate that deeper essence into the rhythm of daily life. Each session closes with a longer savasana to rest deeply and absorb the nurturing energy of the garden, supporting integration.
“It’s not a performance, it’s an inward journey.”

Nature. In Community
Did you know that spending intentional time in nature alongside your community is scientifically proven to lower stress and improve well-being?
Set within the restorative beauty of our local botanical garden, Nature. In Community is a participatory art experience developed by artist & neuroscientist Karina Del Punta, Ph.D. More than just a passive exhibition, this event is a dynamic space where you become part of the art art—shaping and being shaped by the environment through your presence, choices, and interactions.
Whether you are looking to find a moment of peace, connect with your neighbors, or simply explore nature in a new way, this experience is designed for you. You engage directly with natural materials through interactive stations -- designed to restore your attention and connect you.
You will transition from the noise of the city into a state of grounded creativity:
Arrival: A welcoming transition into the botanical garden, allowing your mind and body to settle into the natural space.
Immersion: Move freely through a constellation of interactive stations. You might write a word on a leaf, compose and carry a new scent, add a tone to a shared acoustic field, or explore embodied movement and rhythm with special guest Ashli Katz.
Reflection: A closing space to process the experience, witness the co-created artwork, and connect with fellow community members before returning to your day.
Across the garden, simple gestures accumulate. There is no single pathway or "right" way to participate. Meaning arises naturally through your interaction with sound, scent, language, water, movement, and the people around you.
Residents of all ages are invited to step out of the daily hustle and into a living, breathing labor of collective creativity.
Come as an observer; leave as a participant. Join us in shifting from seeing nature as a backdrop to experiencing it as an active system—one that heals, connects, and comes to life through our shared care.
