Join Vineyard resident and professional forester Bob Perschel for a talk about his fifty-year quest in pursuit of something larger than all of us. In his four-decade career, Bob helped conserve six million acres of New England’s forests and led efforts to establish forest management practices that may offset 30% of the region’s carbon emissions. In this talk, he will share stories and poems from his new book, Numinosity: A New England Forester’s Search for the Ineffable, engaging the audience in an exploration of the transcendent experiences that can guide our personal lives and environmental policy in a time of climate change. He will also offer background on some of his book excerpts, illuminating how they are directed to aid environmental leaders and activists in guiding our society both to form closer personal connections with nature and to make better choices.

About Bob

Bob Perschel is a forester with a distinguished career in land conservation. He envisions a closer relationship with the natural world, and a landscape of wild reserves surrounded by exceptionally managed forests that provide the climate-friendly products needed in a changing climate. Over the course of his career, he worked in the forest industry, served as a consulting forester, and led The Wilderness Society’s land-ethic and network-of-wildlands programs.

He also chaired the 53-member Northern Forest Alliance and helped found the Forest Stewards Guild, a national organization of ecologically focused foresters. The guild is notable for being the only professional society whose code of ethics places responsibility to the land above all else. More recently, as executive director of the New England Forestry Foundation, he led the

development of exemplary forestry standards, using climate-smart management techniques to offset 30 percent of New England’s carbon emissions.

Today, as a speaker and author, he is committed to fostering a deeper connection with the natural world. His first book, Numinosity, is an anthology of poems and prose inspired by transcendent experiences in New England’s forests. He is now working on a second poetry collection and a model of environmental leadership that integrates both the emotional and intellectual dimensions of human experience. Bob holds degrees in psychology and forest science, from Yale University. He lives in an oak forest on the north shore of Martha’s Vineyard.

Manifesting is the process of intentionally calling what you most desire into your life and career. But it’s often misunderstood. It’s not just about vision boards or positive thinking. At its core, real manifestation is about clarity, alignment, and the courage to move your feet toward what you truly want.

In this workshop led by Jennifer Schwartz, you’ll learn what manifesting actually is, what it’s not, and the key steps to begin calling what you want into your life. Together, we’ll explore how to get clear on what you most desire and how to align your mindset, energy, and actions so your goals and dreams have somewhere real to land.

The price of participation in each workshop is on a sliding scale ($11–$33).

Friday, July 24

7–9 PM

Jonathan Goldman will discuss the importance of understanding and using the power of sound—what are termed “the four pillars of sound healing”—in these extraordinary times of shift and change. This includes the psycho-acoustic and vibro-acoustic benefits of specific sounds.  

In addition, he will demonstrate the protocols and techniques of “conscious humming,” and the ability of this sound—the simplest self-created sound—to reduce stress, enhance relaxation, strengthen our immune systems, lower heart rate and blood pressure, release melatonin, generate nitric oxide, enhance vagus nerve toning, and resonate different portions of the body for an internal, therapeutic massage. He will conclude by teaching techniques of heart/brain coherence to strengthen and amplify our nervous systems and energy fields. He will also lead a global guided “om” for planetary healing.

The price of participation is on a sliding scale ($20–$40).

Thursday, July 16 - Tulsi: Unconditional Love & Divine Guidance
​
Tuesday July 28 - Chamomile: Reclaiming Joy & Emotional Resilience

Plant spirit meditations are guided ritual experiences that use the simple act of drinking tea as a pathway into presence, embodied wisdom, and connection with the natural world, not as with a commodity or resource, but as with a teacher and mentor.

Through mindfulness, breath, and somatic awareness, we’ll explore non-psychotropic plants that have for centuries been used for guidance, healing, restoration, and nourishment in traditional folk medicine.

By drinking plant infusions with the intention of opening ourselves to their teachings, participants are invited to build a connection with herbs and wild plants—not only as medicine for the body, but as teachers and elders that hold unique energetic signatures, offering emotional support and spiritual guidance. 

This session, led by Emily Galligan, includes an opening, grounding meditation; introduction to a plant, its tea, and its energetic and nourishing properties; a guided somatic meditation with the tea; reflection; and sharing. 

Please note: we will work with one single plant, chosen for safety and accessibility in addition to its gifts. If you have any concerns or medical/pharmaceutical contraindications, alternatives will be provided. You are also welcome to bring your own tea, but it is suggested that you work with a single plant rather than a blend.

* While mats and cushions are available, we recommend bringing any other comfort items you might need.

Please bring a journal or notebook for reflections.

The price of participation is on a sliding scale ($20–$40). 

About Emily
My grandmother always told me, “Whatever it is you want to do with your life, you’re already doing it.” So when I chose to pursue my master’s degree in environmental education, it wasn’t because I wanted to teach. It was because I remembered who I was as a young girl: nestled in the branches of a crabapple tree, barefoot in the stream, searching for salamanders, feeling completely at home in the natural world.

As I grew older, some part of me was always trying to find my way back to that feeling of belonging, yet the more I pursued the modern world’s version of success, the farther I drifted from it. After years of traveling and trying to find myself, I eventually returned to my roots: tending the land and my heart in tandem. And after nearly two decades of living on this island—growing my gardens, my children, and in many ways, myself—I began supporting others on their healing journeys. What I've learned from 15+ years of doing this work is that the greatest medicine is learning how to come home—to the earth, to our bodies, and to the inherent wisdom within.

I am a certified wellness coach, yoga teacher, womb-circle facilitator, and rites-of-passage mentor. My work is deeply rooted in earth-based spirituality and somatic healing practices. I am passionate about helping others reconnect with themselves through the wisdom of the body, the rhythms of nature, and that deeply felt sense of belonging.

7–8:30 PM

Join Dzogchen meditation master Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche for an inspiring evening exploring timeless wisdom for living a meaningful and successful life.

In this talk, Rinpoche will share practical and profound teachings from The Tibetan Book of Success: A Guide to Relationships, Leadership, Communication, and Happiness, his newly released collection drawn from a rich tradition of secular Tibetan literature. He will also explore themes such as communication, integrity, compassion, leadership, and wise action, and how these enduring principles continue to offer practical guidance for everyday life and can help us cultivate greater happiness, stronger relationships, and a deeper sense of fulfillment.

Rinpoche will also offer a brief introduction to pristine-mind meditation.

The book will be available for purchase, and a book signing will follow the talk. This event is free, but donations are encouraged.

About the Book

The Tibetan Book of Success presents four newly translated texts from a unique genre of classical Tibetan literature that, much like the writings of the Stoics in the Western tradition, offers practical guidance for creating a meaningful and successful life. These teachings offer clear and succinct guidance for cultivating happiness, success, harmonious relationships, and strong communities. They reveal that universal values—such as honest communication, integrity, fairness, reliability, respect, and generosity—are the foundation for living a good life.

Translated and introduced by Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche, the collection includes writings from renowned Tibetan meditation masters Jamgon Mipham Rinpoche, Patrul Rinpoche, and Sakya Pandita, as well as an 8th-century text discovered in the Dunhuang caves.

He grew up in a remote village in Eastern Tibet and received his education and training for nine years, starting at the age of fourteen, with the great Jigmed Phuntsok Rinpoche, who is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest Dzogchen masters of the twentieth century. A longtime resident of the San Francisco Bay Area, Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche has been a lecturer at Stanford University and is the founder and spiritual director of Pristine Mind Foundation. He is the author of Our Pristine Mind: A Practical Guide to Unconditional Happiness; From Foundation to Summit: A Guide to Ngöndro and the Dzogchen Path; and the newly released The Tibetan Book of Success.

“Happiness isn’t something we need to find or achieve. It is the very core of our being.”

–Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche

Join renowned meditation master Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche for a special workshop exploring how meditation can improve and transform our lives.

Rinpoche will provide instructions and guided meditation on the unique type of meditation presented in his book Our Pristine Mind: A Practical Guide to Unconditional Happiness. Many people are familiar with mindfulness meditation. Pristine-mind meditation is an approach to meditation without an object, that goes beyond mindfulness to help us find happiness within and bring about greater health and a deep sense of well-being. The instruction in this workshop will allow us to access and experience our own pristine minds, and will provide a practical introduction to the profound transformative effects of this type of practice.

During the workshop we will meditate together, as a group, and will learn how this meditation helps us clean the mind, experience unconditional happiness, transform every area of our lives, and journey toward enlightenment.

No previous experience with meditation is necessary.

The price of participation in this workshop is on a $20–$40 sliding scale.
