Love is your natural state of being.

This workshop is a meditative journey to help you reconnect with the energy of love, compassion, and emotional balance that resides within you. Through a harmonious blend of Sound Bath and Reiki, you’ll rest in stillness, creating space to release barriers and invite healing.

We will strengthen our back while opening our hearts- physically and energetically. Central to this experience is a transformative sound bath, where healing vibrations will wash over you, helping to dissolve energetic blockages and open the flow of prana (life energy) through your heart and beyond.

The sound bath will feature crystal singing bowls tuned to 432 Hz and 528 Hz, frequencies known to promote harmony and healing. As the soothing frequencies resonate with your body’s energy centers, they create a deep sense of peace and emotional balance. Gongs and chimes help tuning the body to its natural state.

Combined with guided meditation, this experience supports holistic healing for both body and soul.

Rather than seeking love outside of you, you are invited to BE love this Mothers Day. Let it pour into you, through you and out in every direction.

You are invited to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy after your Sound Bath in the Picnic Pavilion. Lavender Lemonade will be provided on tap to celebrate Mother’s Day!

In the event of rain, you will be notified of cancellation and your ticket will be refunded in full.

WeavingWorkshop

Weaving is an ancient art, a time-honored tradition. The rugs we walk on, the clothes we wear, the baskets we use- all made at on point in history by manual, skilled labor. Using a wooden lap loom and materials (that you take home!) weave your very own piece of art. We will be discussing different techniques and exploring the practical and artistic uses for weaving. In addition to personalized instruction, books will be available to comb through for inspiration, and everyone goes home with an instruction manual and extra yarn to continue projects. In an incredibly fast-paced world, taking up a slow-art practice introduces a sense of patience and satisfaction to one’s life. Take a dive into the past and experience the power of creating something beautiful and tangible with your hands! 

Please bring a bag lunch to enjoy on beautiful Mad Lavender Farm during our break.

Kelly Dugan is a lover of art and history, utilizing artistic practices from the days of old to create both ornamental and wearable art. Primarily a silversmith, she also loves to paint and weave, and is heavily influenced by the Southwest. Her goal is to instill a sense of pride into her students through creating slow art, using time-honored traditions- something she came to appreciate more fully while pursuing a degree in Art History at Drew University and through her travels through Europe and the American West.

Slow down. Breathe. Stitch.

In this sacred practice of slow stitching, we embrace a mindful, intuitive approach to hand sewing—one that values presence over perfection, process over product. Inspired by the rhythms of Japanese Sashiko, Indian Kantha, and the wisdom of generations before us, this workshop, taught by artist Sue Keown, is an invitation to pause, reflect, and create with intention.

Using treasured fabrics, threads, and found materials, we will explore stitching as a form of meditation, storytelling, and self-discovery. Each stitch becomes a prayer, a rhythm, a way to ground ourselves in the present moment. Through guided exercises, you’ll learn:

The rhythm of slow stitching—a peaceful, intuitive process.
Simple, soulful stitches to create texture and pattern.
Translating emotions, memories, and nature’s whispers into fabric and thread.
The art of mending—both textiles and the self.

This is not about technique or perfection. It is about letting go, trusting your hands, and embracing the imperfections that make each piece uniquely yours. As we stitch, we connect—not just with the fabric, but with ourselves, with each other, and with something greater.

No sewing experience is needed—just an open heart. All materials will be provided. Come as you are, and leave with something stitched from your soul.

Sue Keown is an artist, maker, and educator whose work is profoundly shaped by the intersection of nature, memory,and the transformative power of the creative process. Drawing on a rich foundation in artistic practice and spiritual exploration, she weaves together found materials, storytelling, and personal reflection to craft meaningful, layered works. Through her workshops, Sue cultivates a contemplative space where participants can slow down, tap into their imagination, and embark on a journey of self-discovery, drawing inspiration from both the natural world and their own inner landscapes.  www.suekeown.org
