Why Willow Grove?
“I’ve often found that we move through life without recognizing our influence and connection on others. We’ve become disconnected in so many ways from the world around us, the humans around us, and often ourselves. I believe many of the answers we find ourselves seeking can be found in small moments of connection, community, self-reflection, and openness to the present moment. The Grove is a reminder of all the big and little ways each of us can do this.”

New to sound work?
- You’ll mostly lie down. Mats, bolsters, and blankets are provided. Sitting or a chair works too.
- Just listen. There is nothing to do or get right. Let the sound wash over you.
- Sensitive to sound? Tell Alyson before class and she will adjust volume or placement for you.
- Arrive a few minutes early. Settle in and get comfortable before we begin.
