Om is about magic, beauty and joy and attracting those who want to slow down, come together in a vibrant setting where we raise our vibration, heal and connect with each other. The word Om is defined by Hindu scripture as being the primordial sound of creation. It is the original vibration of the universe. Vermont is a magical place that also has strong energy and universal vibrations. It serves as a reminder to slow down, align with natural rhythms, and honor the connection between mind, body, and spirit.
