Member Mingles

Shadybrook Members gather around the table sampling tea and connecting

Third Monday of Each Month

Hosts: Shadybrook Members
Location: Shadybrook

Come as you are. Connect. Be nourished.

Membership isn’t just about discounts on programs—it’s about belonging to a community of unique and inspiring individuals. Together, we ground in nature, center in community, explore life’s mysteries, and transform ourselves and the world.

Have you ever wished you could get to know more Members? Or felt like you bump into people at programs, but never get a chance to go deeper?

Here’s your chance! Each month, we’ll gather for simple activities—like a walk in the park, tea tasting, coloring, or discussion topics—that spark conversation, connection, and friendship.

Investment: FREE for Members

Not a Member, but considering joining?

Email us at info@shadybrook.org for one free guest pass to a “Shadybrook Social” to try it out.
