Rooted in Resonance
Sound Bath Series
Tuesday, June 23rd • 7:00pm – 8:15pm
Maricopa Botanicals • Gilbert, AZ
Join us for an evening of relaxation and connection surrounded by the calming energy of nature.
This immersive sound healing experience invites you to slow down, settle into the present moment, and allow the soothing vibrations of crystal singing bowls, chimes, and other healing instruments to guide you into a state of deep rest. Nestled among the plants, you’ll be held in a space that encourages grounding, reflection, and renewal.
Plants and sound share a beautiful relationship! Both invite us to reconnect with the natural world.
Just as plants remind us to root, grow, and thrive. Sound can help quiet the mind, release tension, and create space for balance and clarity. Together, they offer a gentle environment to nurture both body and spirit.
What to Bring:
• A yoga mat (or two if you’d like extra cushioning, as we’ll be on a concrete floor)
• A pillow, blanket, or anything that helps you feel cozy and supported
• Water
• An open mind and a willingness to receive
Whether you’re new to sound healing or it’s already part of your wellness practice, this experience is designed to help you unwind, recharge, and leave feeling a little more grounded than when you arrived.
Limited spots available. Each ticket is for one person and cannot be shared.

Floral Arrangement Class
Hello!
I’m Marin Kees, the owner of Florence & Rose Floral Co. Since starting my business, I've been committed to sourcing local flowers from Arizona growers. This summer, I started growing my own blooms, and I'm excited to showcase them to you!
I'm grateful to Maricopa Botanicals for their generous support in hosting us. In this class, I’ll guide you through the art of floral arranging—a hands-on experience that promises to be both enjoyable and informative!
In the spirit of sustainability, please bring your favorite medium-sized vase for the "BYOV (BRING YOUR OWN VASE)" class. If you don’t have one, we’ll provide mason jars for your bouquet. Each participant will receive a medium-sized bouquet and all necessary arranging supplies.
We look forward to hosting you for this creative event!
Best regards,
Marin Kees
