Finding Rest
Discover a sanctuary of serenity at Finding Rest, a unique communal resting space thoughtfully curated to nourish body, mind and spirit. Fimo offers participants a lengthy sound bath that seamlessly transitions into a meditation, accompanied by an insightful discourse on the transformative power of rest. Finding Rest serves as a gentle reminder of our intrinsic worth and emphasizes the importance of embracing rest as a fundamental aspect of well-being.
