Lord, let me thank Thee for the rains,
And for the sunshine and the dew,
For grass that carpets hills and plains,
For flowers that make glad the view,
For snow that hides the naked trees...
They have brought comfort, all of these…

Join Mia DiRienzo Olson for our monthly series, Mother's Circle on Friday, September 18. Mothers’ Circles are informal, discussion-based gatherings in which women can come together to process the joys, griefs, hardships, and fears of mothering in our modern world. Bring your authentic self, especially the messiest parts of you, and an open heart to engage in the ancestral tradition of sacred sisterhood!
Registration is preferred if you are bringing your children.

That special Villa memory that stirs your soul: "When I first started working at the Villa, learning a new job was quite stressful. On my break, I would walk out the back door and just stand quietly. The tranquility of the land brought me back to center and I was able to re-focus on my job."

There are some places that seem to invite you to slow down the moment you arrive.
Villa Maria is one of them.

Beautifully cared-for grounds, quiet spaces, nature, and a long tradition of sustainable living create a setting that feels especially well suited for a day of reflection, connection, and sound.

And the experience isn’t limited to what happens inside the workshop room.
Villa Maria will also provide our lunch, snacks, and refreshments, with much of their food rooted in their own farm-to-table and sustainable-living practices.

So for five hours, you can simply arrive and be part of the day.
Immersive sound.
Journaling and reflection.
Meaningful conversation.
Community and shared wisdom.

Time outdoors if the day invites it.
And nourishment already taken care of.

Immersive Sound Meditation Workshop
Saturday, September 19 | 10 AM–3 PM
Villa Maria Education & Spirituality Center
$90 — lunch, snacks & refreshments included
Sometimes the setting becomes part of the experience.
I have a feeling this one will.
