Classes & Programs

Symphony with the Trees is a gentle, immersive soundscape that blends live music from harp and flutes with the natural rhythms of the garden with subtle audience participation to create a living symphony. Participants will gather in a loose circle to experience an inclusive environment where sound is felt and co-created rather than just observed. The session unfolds through deep listening, harp melodies, and optional participation like humming or light rhythm. Designed to be peaceful and seated, the experience prioritizes accessibility and welcomes people of all ability levels with any movement being gentle and entirely optional. Ultimately, this "living symphony" fosters a deep sense of connection between the individual, the group, and the surrounding natural beauty.

Since this is an outdoor program, those sensitive to mosquitoes or other warm-weather bugs may want to bring insect repellant spray.
