Reflections on March 2025: The Month of Wellness at Sound View Greenport

As I reflect on the "Month of Wellness" at Sound View Greenport this past March, a deep sense of gratitude fills my heart. This month was more than just a collection of events and workshops—it was a sacred gathering, a celebration of community, mindfulness, and the healing power of shared experiences.

The transformation of Sound View Greenport into a haven of wellness was nothing short of magical. With the soft whispers of the Sound in the background, the space became a sanctuary for the body, mind, and spirit. Each yoga class, each sound bath, each meditation session was not just an opportunity for personal restoration, but a collective moment of stillness and growth. It was as though the very air was filled with a shared intention to heal, to grow, and to connect—both with ourselves and with one another. I am always amazed by the metamorphosis of The Halyard's main dining room into an open & inviting wellness space.

The month-long journey offered us all the chance to explore the deep interconnections between nature, health, and wisdom. With guidance from inspiring experts like Dr. Stephenie Pisacano and Lucy Nystrom, we delved into the realms of functional medicine, epigenetics, stress reduction, yoga, and somatic healing. These teachings were not just lessons; they were invitations to step more fully into our own well-being. And as we learned, we did so together, with the warmth and support of a community that was open-hearted, curious, and eager to embrace a holistic path to healing.

The workshops—whether it was the Metabolic Mastery with Taylor Diepold or Breathwork with Mary Cognat—were opportunities to release what no longer served us, to create space for peace, balance, and transformation. And yet, it was the quiet moments—the shared breath during a sound journey with Mridu Singhal, the silence after a meditation class with North Fork Meditation—that felt the most profound. These moments of stillness, of shared presence, created a deep sense of belonging and unity.

As we came together this March, we not only learned from the wisdom of those who led us, but we learned from each other. The energy in every session, every shared experience, was a reminder that healing and growth are not solitary journeys—they are paths we walk together. In the simplicity of being present with one another, in the act of coming together to explore, heal, and grow, we discovered the incredible power of community.

This Month of Wellness was not only a celebration of health and healing—it was a celebration of connection, of the beauty of learning and growing in unison. For this, I am filled with deep gratitude. The shared moments, the collective energy, and the kindness of this community have left an indelible mark on my heart. May the lessons of this month continue to ripple outward, bringing peace, healing, and deep connection to all who were part of it.

A huge thank you to our wellness partners this past March:
