Community Gatherings
Gathering in beauty and reverence to honor the rhythms of the earth,
the cycles of the human soul, and the deep connections
we share with one another.
Sacred Circles
As a healing arts practitioner and somatic movement facilitator, I offer community circles, classes and workshops that cultivate presence, awakening, and connection in body, soul and spirit.
Each circle is a living moment that is new every time we gather. Custom-made and heart centered, Sacred Circles weave elements of art, conversation, music, and story into a rhythmic, harmonizing experience for the soul. As a circle of one, we embark upon a shared journey of friendship, inner wisdom and remembrance, while discovering new thoughts and feelings about life, Self, and relationship with others - in a deeply, profound and beautiful way.
Some of the Sacred Circles that are offered are Meditative Movement, Healing Arts Workshops (varying topics), Sacred Prayer Circles, Singing for Joy Circles, and Sacred Dance Circles.
UPCOMING:
Meditative Movement: Wednesday, November 11, | 11 a.m.
Meditative Movement: Wednesday, December 9, | 11 a.m.

Seasonal Festivals
For thousands of years, people have gathered to celebrate spiritual life through ritual, song, dance, food, and story. These celebratory festivals reconnect us with the deeper rhythm of the Earth, helping to heal our sense of separation from spirit, each other, and the cosmos.
At the heart of the year’s turning are four sacred festivals, marked by the solstices and equinoxes; moments that invite us to consciously celebrate with the eternal forces moving through nature and soul.
The four seasonal festivals offered are Michaelmas (fall), Christmas (winter), Easter (spring), and St. John (summer).

We all have something we love to do, something we’re good at. We All Know Something is a free community gathering where we teach one another something we know and enjoy the simple pleasure of making, creating, learning, and discovering new skills and new friends.
Read more about the heart of We All Know Something at the link below, and email us if you’d like to join in the fun. We need teachers AND students! Bring something you know, come learn something new, or do both.
A sanctuary of song for comfort and peace.
Imagine reclining in a comfortable, zero-gravity chair, closing your eyes, and being gently serenaded by two or three a cappella singers, whose tender lullabies are sung just for you, with the simple intention of offering kindness, compassion, and rest.
This beautiful experience is called a Songtuary, or a Song Bath. There is nothing you need to do but relax, listen, and allow yourself to be nurtured and held through the warmth of harmony, tone, and vibration through simple songs of kindness.
Songtuaries are offered by Spirit Singers, Winston-Salem's premiere choir of a cappella vocalists who use the power of voice and heart to connect with and comfort others at all thresholds of life. Their specially written songs offer love, connection, and blessing to anyone in need of a little tenderness and rest.
We invite you to experience this beautiful gift of song.
Registration is required. Donations accepted.
Thursday, November 19
1:00–2:30 p.m.

"Beth has guided me through some of the darkest moments of my life. She’s helped me transform the dark into beautiful spiritual growth where I’m able to find the light again. She’s also helped me find greater joy and celebration in being myself and enjoying the present moment. I can honestly say that without her support and compassion, I’m not sure where I’d be today. I highly recommend Beth’s Sacred Gatherings without hesitation."

"The movement sequence you taught us was so powerful. I started my week this morning doing it - was glad I had your great notes! I love how it engages the feeling realm and I look forward to working with it regularly. Thank you for the beautiful teachings. I loved the circle!"

"Beth is a sensitive soul, a very caring person who listens well. I was dealing with a sleep issue that had become very disturbing to my health and life. Beth and I took a walk in the lovely woods that surrounds her home office. In her gentle manner Beth shared many thoughts. We discussed beginning my day with spiritual thoughts; how to feed my soul. Beth shared the importance of cultivating an inner quiet and calmness, letting my heart guide my head. She talked about the growth of a living force within me that becomes my strength, refuge and guidepost. I have benefited from Beth’s teachings and now sleep well. Her caring advice has been very meaningful in my ongoing spiritual development. Time spent with Beth Bean is a gift."
