As the crisp air begins to turn leaves to red and gold, there’s a sense of excitement about autumn, but for many of us there’s a little worry too – colder temps and shorter, busier days often mean more stress physically and mentally. The Lux Team has been sharing ideas with each other on how to keep some of the easy, warm and relaxed vibe of summer alive all through the winter months. Now, we invite you to join us at the magical Barn at the Crane Estate for a special evening of reflections, lessons and creative exercises intended to help us all hold on to our personal light and heat in the months ahead. We'll eat, drink, reflect, get creative, and build warmth!

After gathering and getting to know each other over delicious fall snacks and beverages, we'll settle in for the fun with a welcome and intention - setting with Cynthia. Next, Lynne Rey will lead us in a seasonal meditation/sound healing and some gentle movement to open and warm our body and soul. Then we'll have a fascinating lesson with Sandra Bemis where we will play with intution and pendulums. Finally, we'll move between mini sessions with Cynthia, Sandy, Lynne and Emma to take mini mystical light-filled portraits, explore and nurture our unconscious mind, re-center and energize with breath, and delve into meaning with tarot card pulls.

At the end of the evening, you'll leave with some new tools to help you hold onto the light and warmth through the holiday season and into the new year. We'll send you home with a lovely bag of treats too, including your own pendulum and booklet.

Please join us! Bring a friend! Make a friend! Fill your cup for the season ahead!

A portion of our evening's proceeds will go to HAWC, so that we can share our collective warmth and light with those who need it most. HAWC is committed to ending the domestic violence epidemic, educating the community, and offering help for abused women, children, men in Massachusetts.
