Our next book club will be September 27th! We are starting “A Day in the Life of Abed Salama” by Nathan Thrall. This book will give insight to the history and reality in Palestine. Copies available at your local library!

Some weeks leave you running on empty. Settle & Soften is an hour set aside just for you: a gentle, therapeutic sound bath designed to help your body unwind, your thoughts quiet, and your nervous system finally exhale.

The soothing tones of crystal singing bowls and other sound healing instruments wash over you, easing tension and guiding you into a state of deep relaxation. Breathing deepens, the mental noise fades, and something in you finally stills. There's nothing to do, nothing to prepare, and nothing to understand. You just lie back, relax, and receive. By the end of the hour, you'll feel softer, steadier, and a little more like yourself.

All experience levels welcome. No prior knowledge of sound healing necessary. Props are provided. Wear whatever feels comfortable.
