Get your tickets to see THE GENTLING – A Reclamation Of Presence in West Torrington, CT. Happening on Thursday, February 27, 2025 at . Doors open at 6:00 PM.

Join Vibrational Designer Sarah Rigano of FORM + LIGHT fireside at SkyRise Farm as we settle into a space of deep presence and radical rest, guided by practices intent on befriending bodies, calming minds and soothing spirits.

As the world around us twists and turns in ways rapid and destabilizing and waves of overwhelm and dissonance can trigger confusion and grief, our intention is softness, compassion and grounded presence. A space to dissolve into the true essence of self as witnessed by conscious community. 

Tapping into the pulse of heartbeats and breath, Sarah will guide guests in working with the energy of a New Moon in Pisces, these frequencies both gentle and generative as Winter rivers waking to life. Pisces is associated with what lies beneath the surface- offering openings to heightened intuition, expanded imagination and deep emotional connection. Thus, Sarah will call these energies as she leads guests on a journey of sound and stones, aided by the high vibrations of on-body selenite stone treatments and the amplification of quartz crystal bowls to encourage deep introspection and profound emotional reflection for personal growth.

Come be seen, held and witnessed amid a circle of care. 

______________
This is an intimate, pre-ticketed group journey to allow for absolute connection and presence amonst practitioner and guests. Thus, as we are deeply aware of the present economic environment and the myriad of monetary realities faced by our diverse community, one opening is available for the program for an individual called to this work, but perhaps unable to accommodate the financial exchange asked at this time. Please reach out to Sarah directly for confidential consideration srigano@gmail.com.

ABOUT SKYRISE FARM
SkyRise Farm is located amid the storied Hudson Valley, on close to 50 bucolic acres, along the Northeast corner of Dutchess County, in Millerton, NY. 

Held by the rise of the Berkshires and Taconic Mountains to the East, with unparalleled views of Stissing Mountain and the Catskills visible to the West, the property is a mix of varied ecosystems and terrain, all meticulously cared for and part of ongoing regenerative efforts based in regenerative and rewilding principles under the stewardship of Vibrational Designer Sarah Rigano of FORM + LIGHT.

Inspired by the seasons and a deep connection to, and appreciation of, the subtle healing frequencies of the natural world, the intention of the Farm is to create conversations steeped in community and creativity, openings for greater physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being, through immersive experiences inspired by Earth-based wisdom traditions that honor the Divine interconnection of all things- celestial and terrestrial, seen and unseen.
