Reimagining your Archetype
for a
Life Actualized
Saturday, June 6th 9:30-12:30
What if the patterns shaping your life aren’t problems to fix—but identities ready to be reimagined? In this immersive experience, you’ll explore how your internalized archetypes influence your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and energy, while gently deconstructing conditioned patterns through a holistic blend of psychology, somatic awareness, and energetic insight.
You’ll be guided through reflective exercises and a restorative energy healing practice to support release, recalibration, and reconnection, along with anchoring techniques to help integrate lasting change. This work invites you to move from awareness into aligned action—honoring all parts of yourself while stepping into a more intentional way of being.
Facilitated by Kimberly Ferrante, MSW, LICSW and Reiki practitioner this workshop offers a grounded yet expansive space to realign, restore, and actualize your life from the inside out.
*Light refreshments will be offered.
*Please bring a yoga mat and dress comfortably.
*Reservations are limited to 12 to support a personalized and curated experience.

Creative Cacao Journeying
~Join us~
Caitlin Rae & Margot Jones
for a Creative and Nourishing
afternoon in Nature!
Spend the afternoon connecting with your botanical allies through ceremony and art making. We’ll begin by learning the cyanotype process, a simple cameraless photography technique that uses sunlight to create striking botanical prints.
After practicing the technique, we’ll open the ceremonial space with cacao and a guided meditation. During your inner journey, you’ll receive hands-on healing through Reiki, myofascial release, and the intuitive laying of plants.
From there, you’ll have space to reflect, move, journal, rest, and return to the cyanotype process, creating new prints inspired by your journey and the plants you connect with along the way.
No prior art experience necessary!
Just arrive with an Open Heart and Creative Spirit and enjoy the sacred beauty of Wells Farm!
When: Saturday, September 12, 2026
1:00 – 4:00 pm (Rain date: 9/13)

MATT & SHANNON HEATON
Matt & Shannon Heaton
Concert Saturday, July 18th 4-6pm
Workshop Saturday, 2:30-3:30pm
Matt and Shannon Heaton combine old traditional songs and bright, driving Irish rhythms—like making a pot of tea and lighting a candle on a dark afternoon.
With voices, flute, guitar, and bouzouki, the Boston-based duo carries old music into new light. Together they are known for their inventive interplay of music and storytelling, and their deep respect of the roots of old ballads and dance tunes,
Matt and Shannon understand America’s abiding connection with Irish music and culture, navigating the steady pull of the past, keeping the pulse of the present, and ultimately bringing audiences close to the heart of the Irish tradition.
Shannon was named Massachusetts Traditional Artist Fellow in 2016, co-founded Boston’s Celtic Music Fest, and hosts the culture podcast Irish Music Stories. Matt has performed with numerous Irish ensembles, plays in a surf rock band, and is an acclaimed performer for children and families.
Matt and Shannon are world-class American performers with Irish roots and universal appeal.
“Their playing is masterful and inventive, their arrangements
city-smart and spacious. Still, they never forget that Irish music
is, at its heart, a neighborly form, meant for sharing, not showing off.” —The Boston Globe
