early autumn outdoor events

Summer is a whirlwind. It’s hard to believe school starts for many of our kids in just a couple of weeks — but that doesn’t mean summer is over!

☀️ The fall equinox is still 54 days away, and I have a season full of outdoor events to help us soak up every last drop of this sweet stretch of light.

🌅 Floating Sound Bath & Sunset Meditation

Wednesday, August 20 | 7:00–8:30 PM
FFC Elmhurst Rooftop Pool

You asked for another rooftop sound bath before summer ends — and we heard you! Float. Breathe. Receive.
Let the warm hues of sunset and the cosmic tones of gongs, bowls, harmonium, monochord, native flute, and chimes guide you into deep rest and inner peace.

We shifted this date to better accommodate everyone’s August schedules — come rest, reconnect, and exhale before fall begins.

Come retreat with us, reconnect to nature, and exhale before fall officially arrives.

🌻 Late Summer Retreats

  • Saturday, August 30 | 3:00–7:00 PM (sound bath at 5pm)

  • Saturday, September 13 | 3:00–7:00 PM (sound bath at 5pm)

🍁 Early Fall Retreats

  • Sunday, September 28 | 1:00–5:00 PM (sound bath at 3pm)

  • Sunday, October 12 | 1:00–5:00 PM (sound bath at 3pm)

This summer I’ve added new instruments to my sound journey offerings — including Native Spirit flutes and a handcrafted Ukrainian monochord. Each experience is unique and attuned to the season, the land, and the collective energy we create together.

Come retreat with us under the beauty of open skies before the seasons shift.


This summer has placed me squarely in my happy place.
Leading outdoor group meditation — in the open air, beneath wide skies, with you — has filled my spirit with light. I’m tucking it all away for winter, and I hope you are too.

With love and deep breath,
Kristin
