Pleasant Aerie offers Quiet Gardens and Arts Programs to promote healing and personal growth.

Pleasant Aerie Quiet Gardens provide meditative garden space, prayer, spiritual direction, guided meditations and a variety of classes.

Pleasant Aerie Arts Programs cover a wide range of topics.  All of the programs are designed to encourage the participant to learn more of her own path and then demonstrate ways of actually following the path to discovery and wholeness.  Some of the classes offered are on women and anger; women and money; what motivates us; creating sacred spaces in and out of doors; spiritual abuse; mandalas; as well as a full range of seasonal rites, rituals, ceremonies and fun! Each class or workshop, developed through years of experience, is thoughtfully prepared and presented using practical and creative ideas.
