Join us at Earthplace for a healing and restorative Sound Bath session with Lisa Pak, the founder and owner of Hummingbird Healing Center in Westport!

Lisa’s Sound Bath Meditations are multi-instrumental soundscapes that begin with a short guided meditation to relax the participants as they lie down on yoga mats with blankets, bolsters, and eye pillows. As the soothing sounds wash over the participants (hence the term “sound bath”), Lisa allows the Himalayan bowls, Gongs, crystal bowls, and her voice to work their magic. She will incorporate sounds of nature into her journey with rain sticks, bird whistles, palm fronds, and more. After the Sound Bath, participants feel more relaxed, refreshed, and at peace.

Sound Bath sessions will be held in a truly magical setting. Join us outdoors, under the pines, on the serene and beautiful grounds of our nature center (weather permitting). Bring your own yoga mat, blanket, or outdoor chair. In the case of inclement weather, sessions will move indoors.

Pre-registration is required. Limited spaces available, register today!

“No one writing in English is funnier or more charming than Andrew Greer. Every sentence in this novel sings.” —David Sedaris

Pulitzer Prize–winning author Andrew Sean Greer (Less) joins us to celebrate his new novel, Villa Coco.

Hailed as the “Future Undisputed Book of Summer 2026,” Villa Coco is a dazzling, sun-soaked ode to life, love, friendship—and focaccia. In this magical, madcap tale, a broke and directionless young American takes on a mysterious role at the Tuscan villa of a formidable nonagenarian baronessa known as Coco. Charged with cataloguing her vast collection, he instead navigates eccentric tasks, a parade of colorful guests, and Coco’s audacious final plan: to reunite with the lost love of her life before it’s too late.

With wit and emotional depth, Greer delivers a joyful, deeply felt story about purpose, connection, and chosen family.

Book signing will follow. Moderator to be announced.

Book included with ticket.

This popular event is free and open to all. Bring your instruments, tapping feet and listening ears! Participants of all ages, styles of acoustic music, levels of ability along with audience members will find a warm welcome. Come, enjoy the fun and leave with a smile.

Performed by seven male dancers, The Grave’s Tears expands on themes first explored in kNoname Artist’s Venom (2024), offering a deeper examination of the physical and psychological toll of systemic oppression, violence, and erasure against the LGBTQIA+ community. The work centers queer bodies as vessels of memory where grief, resistance, intimacy, and survival coexist. Drawing from the liberatory spirit of the Disco era, it reflects on a time when joy, music, and collective celebration became radical acts of defiance for communities pushed to the margins. In the absence of safety, visibility, and institutional care, queer people built refuge through chosen family and shared movement, where love functioned as a practice of survival.

Set against the legacy of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and widespread abandonment, the work confronts the fragility of communities forced to grieve in isolation. In response, queer communities forged their own systems of care, holding one another through loss while insisting on presence.

Enjoy Saturday morning drop-in yoga classes held in the heart of Landcraft Garden. Please bring your own yoga mat and enjoy the healing powers of nature and movement. You are invited to explore the garden after class. Classes are every Saturday through September 5th.

Join the Bruce Museum and Greenwich Audubon for a tour of the neighboring Oneida Sanctuary. Tours will meet at the Visitor Services Desk in the museum lobby and walk from the Bruce Park Playground to Audubon's neighboring Oneida Sanctuary.

The Oneida Sanctuary is located in one of Greenwich's only remaining coastal salt marshes. The walk covers unpaved and uneven ground and is approximately one mile from start to finish.

Oneida Sanctuary not only provides an opportunity to see bird species that use this special habitat such as waterfowl, shorebirds, herons & egrets, but also to learn about Audubon's conservation efforts to improve our coastal resiliency in Greenwich.
