Enjoy a Full Moon Sound Meditation in "The Meadow" at Lyman Orchards Golf Club with The Conduit on various dates in 2026.&nbsp;Relax to the soothing sounds of live gongs and singing bowls washing over you for deep meditative bliss. Lean into the heightened lunar energy of each&nbsp;Full Moon&nbsp;to align with your highest self.
During the Conduit's sound-meditation, you will quickly access the benefits of a deep meditative practice, without needing any experience or special techniques. Experience a live sound journey, finding stillness through the orchestration, allowing a deep connection to the space within your heart, mind and body. &nbsp;As the vibrations gently hold you, release mental and emotional blockages, and invite and strengthen a connection with your inner self.
Please bring props for your comfort. A zero gravity chair is perfect - or a beach towel with a yoga mat and a pillow and blanket would work as well. Eye coverings and water are also encouraged.
Approximately 60-75 minutes in length.
Registration is required.&nbsp;$25 per person per event. Fees&nbsp;include&nbsp;taxes&nbsp;and&nbsp;online&nbsp;ticketing&nbsp;fees.

<h3>What is a Drumming Circle?</h3>
A drumming circle, sometimes called a rhythm circle, is a group of people who gather to make music with percussion instruments. The format is free-form, without a firm beginning or end to the music. Players in drum circles are all on equal playing ground, and there are no wrong notes. They listen to what others are playing and join in. It's not about perfection but rather participation.
Drum circles have ancient roots in cultures with strong drumming traditions, Asia and Africa, and among shamanistic practices of Native American cultures. All kinds of drums have evolved over time, and many of them are hand-drums, played by hitting the stretched hide on the drum with the palm or fingers. Many drum circle participants play hand drums but others might use small hand-held percussions like bells, shakers, and rattles.
Bring your own drums and shakers, blanket or chair.&nbsp; No experience necessary!

We’re excited to return to Lyman Orchards this weekend with our Goat Cuddle Brigade. Guests can enjoy 15‑minute cuddle sessions for $10 per person, meeting the goats right at the orchard and experiencing a charming colonial‑themed visit with the herd. It’s a wonderful way to spend the day—enjoying the orchard, snapping photos, and sharing a fun, memorable moment with our goats.

How the Evening Unfolds Start with a Social Mixer:&nbsp;Kick things off with a relaxed mingle. Grab your cider donut and apple cider pint, settle in, and get comfortable before the rounds begin.&nbsp; Easy, Guided Conversations: We keep things flowing so you don't have to overthink it. Each round includes a fun icebreaker, and our host guides the room so everything feels smooth, upbeat, and never awkward.&nbsp; Quick, Real Connections: You'll spend a few minutes with each person, just enough time to catch a vibe before rotating. It's light, fun, and way more natural than sitting through a full date.&nbsp; Match the Ones You're Into: After each round, simply mark "friend," "date," or "none" on our easy matching system. If it's mutual, we'll send you each other's info the next day.&nbsp;A Few Things to Know<img src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tb5/2/16/23f0.png" alt="⏰"> Arrive 15–30 minutes early to check in and get settled. We start on time, and late arrivals may not be accommodated.<img src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tdb/2/16/1f4a1.png" alt="💡"> This is meant to be fun! The best way to enjoy it is to stay open, be present, and focus on meeting new people. Some people leave with a match, others leave with new connections – either way, it's a great night. Spots are limited to keep the experience smooth and the ratios balanced. Once we’re full, we’re full.
Refund Policy
<ul><li>1+ week before event: Full refund guaranteed</li><li>Less than 1 week: No refunds or transfers, but we may be able to provide a discount code for your next event, depending on the circumstances</li><li>Medical emergencies only: Within 1 week, we’ll issue a one-time refund for illness, medical emergency, or death in the family with proper documentation</li></ul>
