FALL CHANGES: Guided Meditations with Cindy Freeman, MS, LPC-IT, CRC


Fall can stir up a lot of feelings—some warm and cozy, others difficult and painful. Taking the time to meditate can make a noticeable impact, not only when it comes to your mood, but to your overall outlook and experience.

Cindy Freeman's guided meditations offer a midweek break to help you focus and align your thoughts with your emotions. Each pre-recorded meditation covers a different topic that correlates with the overall seasonal theme.

Each 20-30-minute session is $10 and will give you a unique experience, so just go with the date(s) that speak to you. Or you may get the entire set of 6 sessions at the discounted rate of $50.

    SLEEPY HALLOWS — Our first Scavengings game

    Right out of the gate, we're doing things differently. Whereas most of our Scavengings hunts involve a storyline, this Halloween-themed activity is more of a "what do you really know about the lore & legends of Halloween" game that includes a trip down Memory Lane to your own spooky season celebrations as a child.

    👻

    A pesky poltergeist named Gustav is fed up with how the village is overrun with Oktoberfest festivities and no one seems to remember Halloween. He may not be able to interact directly with visitors, but he's come up with a way to get people back in the spooky spirit. Come found out what he has in store in this interactive activity that celebrates Halloween.
    Join us for Sleepy Hallows to help Gustav rest in peace.
    Available September 2 — October 31, 2025  
    Monday-Saturday, 10am-4pm
    CLOSED SUNDAYS
    (Activity involves meandering around the village visiting 4 establishments & answering about a dozen questions online. Allow 45 minutes, though you may finish in as few as 30) 
    $20 for up to 4 participants

    CLICK ON GUSTAV TO BUY TICKETS & MAKE HIM HAPPY


    Please note, as a tiny volunteer-run arts nonprofit, we are unable to offer refunds, and all sales are final. In the case of rain, we will gladly give you a voucher (and a hug) to come back at another time. We promise to try to make it worth your while.
