A Special Evening of Community and Support

We invite you to an evening of yoga, music, art, a sound bath, plus more! This event is a special opportunity to come together, share space, and enjoy an evening on the cherished grounds of Amethyst!

Why We’re Gathering
Our primary goals are to raise awareness of the financial challenges currently facing Amethyst, to rally support and enjoy the company of our community.

All for Amethyst
We are deeply grateful to the dedicated facilitators who have graciously agreed to volunteer their talents for this event. Because of their kindness, every dollar raised will go directly to Amethyst.

Amethyst has always been a place where everyone is welcome, and this evening will be no different. While we are suggesting a donation, please know that no one will be turned away. Consider donating $15 or more per attendee to support all that we offer here at Amethyst.

What To Bring

Unable to Make It to the Event? You Can Still Make a Difference!

Even if you’re unable to join us for the benefit event, your support is still vital. Every donation directly contributes to sustaining our mission.

Consider Recurring Donations
We’ve made it easier than ever to support Amethyst with recurring donations. By visiting our donations page, you can set up a monthly contribution of any amount. It’s a simple way to make a lasting impact without having to remember to do anything!

Here’s how your generosity will help:

  • Accessible Programs: Your donations ensure that our events, workshops, and programs remain affordable. Our ultimate goal is to expand our offerings of free or “by donation” programs.

  • Critical Maintenance: Help us take care of our aging facilities. Donations will go towards essential repairs, such as roof and chimney repairs, window insulation, gutter replacements, and more, ensuring that our spaces remain safe and welcoming.

  • Property Upkeep: Managing a property of this size comes with ongoing costs. Your support helps cover the expenses of mowing, snow removal, tree maintenance, driveway repairs, and other essential tasks.

  • Operational Continuity: With your help, we can continue to offer a place of sanctuary and renewal for all who seek it, ensuring that Amethyst remains a vibrant part of the community for years to come.
