Yoga Flow on the Veranda, Sacred Music, Sound Healing Bath & More 

Be Nurtured by Nature: Unleash Your Flow: Raise your Vibration: Wandering Freely. We’re excited to bring 4 transformative experiences into a magical morning with nature at Bonnet House Museum & Gardens.

On Friday, May 3, we will gather in pure nature at Bonnet House Museum & Gardens Veranda and embark on a journey of self-discovery, and inner peace with leading Yoga Educator & BH resident teacher, Lisa Pumper & special guest Richard Brookens. We begin our journey with a meditative walk around the lake, pause under the deep hammock trees for grounding and forest bathing, and then return to the Veranda of the museum home to continue the experience.

Lisa will weave together a slow, steady, and rhythmic flowing yoga sequence, blissful breathing exercises, and insights designed to help you connect with your body, release tension, and unleash your pure radiance.

South Florida’s beloved arranger/composer and multi-instrumentalist performer, Richard Brookens, will perform a live sacred multi-instrumental experience featuring 6 Hypnotic Gongs, 11 Trance-inducing Tibetan Bowls, 7 Cosmic Crystal Chakra Bowls, 2 Mystical Noah Bells, Heavenly Chimes, Rhythmic Cajon, Soul Soothing Alto Flute, & Sacred Native American Flute.  And concludes with a deep healing gong sound bath meditation with cool-down Aromatherapy refresher.

After class, spend more time in the tropical tranquility at Bonnet House. Wander freely under the hammocks of the trees, soak up the deep healing with more forest bathing, sit by the All’ee or Chickee bridge for reflective journaling, enjoy peace by the Lily Pond, plant your seeds of intentions by the garden fountain, and check out the gift shop and cafe.

This carefully crafted fusion of rhythm and movement in nature will leave you feeling grounded, energized, and connected with your inner strength and vitality.
