About Shadybrook


Shadybrook is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) whose mission is to offer experiences that help us Ground in Nature, Center in Community, Explore Life’s Mysteries, and Transform Ourselves and the World.


Founded in 1955, Shadybrook has a rich history.  The thread we have held through more than 60 years of service has been a commitment to supporting people on their journeys to healing and growth.  We believe that when we become the best versions of ourselves, we show up in our relationships, our community, and our world in more life affirming ways.


Shadybrook currently offers the majority of our programs virtually, connecting with people all over the country.  We also offer pop up programs in person at various locations on the east side of Cleveland, OH.


Whether you are looking to expand your Reiki or Yoga practice, to reconnect to the rhythms of the Earth, or to enjoy stimulating discussion about life's big questions, we are glad you're here!
