Open Art Studio
May 15 | 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM
The Heart Center
A welcoming space to create, reflect, connect, and explore inspiration through art and expression.
Visitors are invited to slow down, explore the space, and engage with creativity in whatever way feels meaningful to them.
During Open Studio hours, you may choose to:
- create a small art project
- explore our spiritual and creative library
- pull oracle cards for yourself or with a friend
- spend time with the drums or singing bowls
- journal, reflect, or simply enjoy the atmosphere of The Heart Center
This is not a formal class, but rather an open and gently guided creative environment where people can reconnect with themselves, their creativity, and the present moment.
Projects and materials are offered at varying hourly/project-based rates depending on what is used. Visitors who simply wish to explore the space or stop by are always welcome free of charge, though donations are gratefully appreciated. Children are welcomed with accompaniment of a parent and of course families too.
Community Drum Circle
May 18 | 2:00 PM
The Heart Center
A grounding afternoon of rhythm, shared presence, sound, and connection. Come together to sing, dance and share your love of music, percussion, and sacred song all while raising the vibration of the planet.
The following is a link with some of the songs that we typically sing during our time together. Feel free to sing along with us whether in person or at a distance.
Truthseekers Gathering
May 21 | 2:00 PM
The Heart Center
A thoughtful and heart-centered space for conversation, reflection, spiritual exploration, and deeper truth. Originally started back before Covid as a way to meet and connect with each other on topics that were important to one another, it has evolved into a case of finding enlightenment and our own answers based on collective intuition, messages and connecting with source.
Usually one brings a healthy snack, as well as a healthy appetite of exploration and topic they wish to explore more to the table. This is a donation based program. Some topics we have explored in the past have been channeling, alternative health practices, hidden mysteries of the bible, Sasquatch, and other worldly beings. While nothing seems to be too far fetched to explore we do ask that respect, reverance and discernment is used at all gatherings. We open with grounding and intention and close with sharing and prayer for the greater good.
Please make sure to RSVP so we know you are coming.

Fairy Habitat And Nature Connection Workshop
May 29 | 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Farmer Fred’s | Towanda, PA
A creative and whimsical nature-centered workshop exploring how to create intentional fairy habitats and sacred outdoor spaces that honor the spirit of the land and the beauty of the natural world.
Together, we will explore ways to work with the natural layout of your property or garden to create welcoming habitats for the unseen energies of nature. Not to exclude, butterflies, bees, and other winged beings.
More than a whimsical fairy garden workshop. It is an invitation to deepen your relationship with the earth through creativity, reflection, beauty, ritual, and mindful connection with the living world around us.
All Participants will receive access to a downloadable guide “To Touch the Faery Heart” inspired by Renee’s personal Fairy Scrapbook collection upon payment and registration. A selection of small natural treasures and embellishments that may be incorporated into a plant, flower pot, fairy habitat, or sacred outdoor space of their choosing will be handed out on the day of the actual event.
In addition, Renee will have a collection of handcrafted fairy homes, nature-inspired gardens, and other curated creations available to view and purchase during the workshop, many of which are already on display at Farmer Fred’s for inspiration.
While this is not specifically a children’s craft event, older children with an interest in creativity, nature, and imaginative exploration are welcome to attend alongside a parent or guardian.
This workshop is intentionally limited in size to create a more personal, reflective, and immersive experience.
Advance Registration Required
