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
