Join us at the 2026 Blessing of the Animals at the United Methodist Church of Castro Valley in honor of our animal family members and special blessings for all our beloved pets!
Inspired by Saint Francis, the patron saint of animals and the environment, this event celebrates the bond between humans and animals and invokes God's blessing for their health and well-being.
It will be held at the Wisteria Street on the front lawn with your pets of all shapes and sizes to receive a special blessing - we've seen turtles, dogs, cats and parrots! Please keep your companions on leash or in their carrier. If your companion has recently crossed the rainbow bridge or they cannot travel, feel free to bring their photo for our altar.
Let's celebrate the joy and love our animal companions bring to our lives! And the Blessing of the Animals will be on Sat. October 10, 2026, 11:00 - 12:00.

Heirloom East Bay

You already know you need to slow down. The hard part is actually doing it.
For the second time, Pause in the Pasture is back — a full-day immersive retreat held on a living, breathing farm, where the land itself does part of the work. No agenda to power through. No performance. No way to do this wrong. Just a day to set it all down and let your nervous system remember what rest actually feels like.
This retreat falls on World Mental Health Day — October 10 — and that's no coincidence.
World Mental Health Day is observed every October 10th as a global reminder to prioritize our inner lives. This year, we're marking it the way we believe mental health should be honored: not with a lecture or a checklist, but with a full day of embodied, restorative experiences. Research has shown that spending time in nature reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression and lowers cortisol levels — and interacting with farm animals has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, promoting a sense of calm, grounding, and belonging. Add humming and toning (which activates the vagus nerve and shifts the nervous system toward rest), gentle movement, meditation, and breathwork, and you have something the world needs more of: a real prescription for renewal.
Held at Heirloom East Bay, this experience is a gentle self-exploration journey rooted in presence, compassion, and belonging. Guided by the grounding spirit of the land, the natural rhythms of the season, and farm-to-table nourishment, the day unfolds through a carefully curated arc of restorative experiences — all designed to help you pause, listen inward, and reconnect with your own wisdom.
Here's what the day holds:
Welcome Gathering &amp; Tea — Arrive to warm tea and a grazing table, ease in at your own pace, and meet the people you'll be spending the day with.
Guided Reflection &amp; Intention Setting — A nurturing blend of meditation, journaling, and creative inspiration to help you arrive fully and set the tone for your afternoon.
Gentle Movement for Every Body — A grounding, accessible movement experience with yin-inspired flow and somatic breathwork. All bodies, abilities, and experience levels welcome — supportive options throughout.
Vocal Toning Circle — Guided by the founder of Tone Circle™, this immersive group experience uses breathwork and freeform vocal toning to shift your energy, open your heart, and drop you into a state of deep presence. No singing experience needed. Just your voice, exactly as it is.
Farm Wandering &amp; Reflective Time — Unstructured time to explore the farm, connect with animals, journal, reflect, or simply be.
Yoga Nidra Meditation — A guided journey into the space between waking and sleep, where the body gently releases what the mind cannot. One of the most deeply restorative practices available to us — no experience required.
Crystal Alchemy Sound Bath — Lie back and let sound do the healing. Crystal singing bowls and layered harmonics wash over you while gentle vocal toning weaves through.
Farm-to-Table Dinner &amp; Closing Reflection — We come back together over a nourishing meal to integrate the day — and leave you with something to carry home.
And yes — there are goats.
Good to know:
This retreat is inclusive of all bodies, identities, beliefs, backgrounds, and levels of experience. Whether you are new to these practices or returning to them, you will be met with care, choice, and support throughout the day. Come as you are.
What to bring: yoga mat · personal notebook · water bottle · pillow or blanket for the sound bath
What's provided: food and refreshments for the full day · yoga blocks · dedicated quiet spaces · the chance to feed the people-loving goats and sheep up close
