Yoga, Sacred Music & Sound Healing At Bonnet House

By Bonnet House Blog No Comments

Spring has finally arrived, and nature is waking up with the warm weather and longer days. If you are looking to feel a sense of rejuvenation alongside mother nature this spring, look no further than this unique experience at Bonnet House Museum & Gardens. On Friday, May 3rd we will be hosting a healing yoga flow with four individual components on our outdoor veranda.

This journey of self-discovery, and inner peace will be led by Yoga Educator & Bonnet House resident teacher, Lisa Pumper, along with special guest Richard Brookens. We will 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 then use her talents to weave together a slow, steady, and rhythmic flowing yoga sequence. This will include blissful breathing exercises, and insights designed to help you connect with your body, release tension, and unleash your pure radiance.

Following this, 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. This will conclude with a deep healing gong sound bath meditation with a cool-down Aromatherapy refresher.

After class, guests will have the opportunity to spend more time in the tropical tranquility at Bonnet House. Feel free to wander 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.

This event is $45 for members and $50 for non-members. This cost includes a light beverage, the ability to explore the Bonnet House grounds, and parking. Don’t forget to bring your yoga mat, a water bottle, and appropriate walking shoes.

We hope that you will have the opportunity to attend this exceptional event. To reserve your spot, and learn more, visit our event calendar .
