Sunday Sound Baths
“The orchard is beautiful.”

Weekly summer-thru-autumn morning sound bath sessions for neighbors and gardeners at this beautiful community green space.

As one of the community stewards of the orchard, I worked to clean, plant, build and harvest the space. In the height of summer, I opened up our Sunday workday to include an early morning sound bath for volunteers and other community members.
The 10 am start meant that we avoided the hot sun, and got in a reasonable amount of work before we ended our workday. The sound bath is one tradition that we'll continue throughout the 2023 growign season.
Building the Path
The original plan was to build out the walking path over a weekend, but it ended up taking the entire month of August and one Sunday in September. Volunteers worked a leisurely hour or two each week. We eventually built an easy-to-maintain walkway. This meant less mowing and weed-whacking for all, and easy access to the fruit trees and vegetable beds.
