This is a brand new series featuring a different group of practitioners each time. Come and enjoy! To prepare for your participation, please acknowledge our core principles and become a free member of Wild Life Refuge.
Arrive beginning at 1pm — Give yourself some time to settle in to the space of Wild Life Refuge.
Our opening circle begins at 2pm — We ask that you arrive in time to be present for this.
We go until the bonfire is out. Feel free to leave when you need to — we’ll wind down between 6 and 8.
In small groups, rotate through the offerings happening in our distinct indoor and outdoor spaces. Wander off on your own to stroll in the woods or contemplate the koi pond as desired. This event is meant to welcome you to the Wild Life Refuge space, introduce you to wonderful local folks, and take a restful interlude in comfort and community! Please message Tona with questions and to RSVP.
Our Co-Facilitators for April 12:
Leah Rachuj — Sound calibration, exploration, and rejuvenation
