October Brings New Classes To Bonnet House

By Bonnet House Blog No Comments

As we ease into this new season, Bonnet House Museum & Gardens has a variety of opportunities to relax, learn something new, and reconnect with the world around you.

To kick off October, we will be starting with our popular relaxing tropical Yoga & Sound Healing on our beautiful veranda on October 4th, 2024. Guests will have the opportunity to experience the beauty and serenity of nature with an all-level Hatha Yoga Flow session accompanied by a blend of global melodies & sound healing on the Veranda of the Bonnet House Museum.  During this class, yoga poses will seamlessly blend with breathing exercises in a flow of peaceful, and rejuvenating harmony. This class will sequence together your basic yoga poses with breathing techniques in a fluid, meditative, and invigorating way. Adventurous yogis are invited to try variations of postures as they are offered. Each student is encouraged to expand boundaries and celebrate a fun and energizing flow practice while taking in the ambiance of the Bonnet House estate.

Additionally this October, we will be offering guests an incredibly unique opportunity to learn about the art of beekeeping. It is not a secret that bees are an important key to a healthy garden, and ecosystem. The fact that their population is dwindling is a serious problem, and the reality is that most people want to do what they can to help the species. Being a responsible beekeeper is a complicated and involved process, but this class can give you a good foundation from which to start your beekeeping journey.

There is so much to look forward to this Fall at Bonnet House Museum & Gardens. Step back in time, reconnect with nature, and learn something new during this transitional season. To learn more about our various events, visit our event calendar.

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 .
