Please join us monthly at the Inn on a Wednesday evening from 6:30 to 9:00pm and unwind from the busyness of life and nourish your body and soul.

Following dinner we will transition to the Gathering Room or the Yoga Studio for a guided meditation, a presentation or a mini-event.

Take some time each month just for you and reconnect to yourself and your spiritual center.

CONGRATULATIONS TO NIKKI RIEL:

THE WINNER OF OUR FIRST ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP

We are pleased to announce that Nikki Riel, of Orange, MA has been chosen the 2013 recipient of The Gathering Inn's Complementary Health Training Scholarship. We had a field of very strong candidates and the Scholarship Committee had a difficult time making a selection; however, the compelling vision of Ms. Riel's intended career path allowed her to rise to the top.

Nikki has chosen the study of Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching. She has a passion for using her knowledge to focus on root causes instead of just treating symptoms and to offering coaching and tools for the prevention of disease through the transformation of her client's lifestyle choices (diet, stress, exercise, overall wellness).

MERRY'S MUSINGS:

I May Be Terrified But I'm Not Going To Let That Stop Me!

"I've been absolutely terrified and I have never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to." ~ Georgia O'Keeffe

I saw this quote by the artist Georgia O'Keeffe the other day and it really struck me. How many things have passed me by because I was afraid?

There is a current thing that keeps popping up on Facebook asking women... especially younger women: "What would you do if you were not afraid?"
