In these 90-minute gatherings, you’re invited to pause, reflect, and listen to yourself and others in a gently facilitated circle.
Circle offers a place to be reassured that you are not alone, that you are enough, and to pay attention to that inner voice that can be drowned out by the day to day.
There will be no wisdom handed down and no fixing. All agree to hold everything shared in confidence.
Using poetry and other texts as prompts, circle leaders Susan Bates and Allison Worden guide us to reflect and give voice to what arises. Participation is limited to 10. Anyone over the age of 18 is welcome to attend.
LOCATION: Arctic Tern Sanctuary, 434 Main Street, Rockland, Maine
COST: No charge (donations are welcome)
REGISTRATION: Required
Writing together, listening deeply, and speaking our words out loud is its own kind of magic.
Join us on three Sundays in May/June, as we gather in an illuminated space of love and allowing to listen for our inner voices and let them speak — no restrictions, no rules, no holds barred.
These generative writing sessions are for everyone, not just those who consider themselves writers.
There will be a variety of prompts and much sharing of what arises from them, with no judgment or expectation of outcome.
Space is limited, so reserve your spot early.

Within the Akashic Records lives the story of your soul — the truth of who you came here to be. These records are a field of living vibration, a loving mirror that reflects your soul’s journey through time. When you open your records, you step into that sacred space to listen, remember, and realign with your truest self.
Each reading reveals what your soul most wants you to know in this moment — the insights that help you return to your natural rhythm, your authenticity, your divine design. The records speak through symbols, sounds, and subtle signals, weaving messages that help decode the deeper layers of your existence.
You’ll leave your session with keys of clarity — gentle revelations that help you step more fully into who you are meant to be.

Emerge from winter and make room for your spring blossoming.
Yin yoga is an all-levels, floor-based practice of slow, mindful postures that are entered with care and held for one to four minutes. The intention is to cultivate awareness of sensation, inviting the joints and connective tissues to soften and find space while encouraging healing and resilience. As the body opens, we ease the mind, settling into stillness, presence, and quiet awareness.
This practice extends beyond the mat, inviting you to carry its softness, patience, and attention into the world.
This nourishing experience is augmented by curated music, selected spring poetry and a signature guided final rest.
New and seasoned students are welcome. Mats and blankets are provided.
Space is limited, so signing up in advance is highly recommended.
LOCATION: Arctic Tern Sanctuary, 434 Main Street, Rockland, Maine
COST: $20 in advance. $25 at the door, space permitting.

Consider this a mini-retreat for your nervous system. One full hour to step out of the chaos and into something slower, deeper, more nourishing.
Join friends and collaborators Meghan Hunter (yoga teacher) and Robin Lane (cellist and composer) for an embodied sensory experience designed to activate your parasympathetic nervous system - the part of you that knows how to rest, digest, and heal. Your experience will include:
• Guided calming breathwork (pranayama)
• Resonant vibrations of live cello leading you through each practice
• Meditation & grounding guided by sound and resonance
This isn't just relief in the moment - it's teaching your body what calm feels like so you can find your way back to center when life gets overwhelming. You'll leave with soothing breath practices AND the embodied memory of peace in your system. True self-care meets practical magic.
