Our theme for October is The Gift of Not Knowing.

In Ancient Greece, the temple of Apollo was managed by a high priestess.

Known as the Oracle (or Prophetess) of Delphi, she was considered to be the wisest woman in the Mediterranean. Leaders and others could consult her once a month.

Etched on a column in the entryway of the temple were three mottos:
Know thyself
Nothing to excess
Certainty brings ruin

One day, someone asked the high priestess, “Who is the wisest man in Athens?”

The priestess said Socrates.

Socrates trusted the oracle, but he had his doubts about her answer. Socrates realized he was wiser only because he accepted his own ignorance: he knew that he knew nothing, whereas others pretended to know what they did not know.

This short history reminds us that we are part of a great mystery. In this great mystery, not knowing can bring wisdom and certainty can bring ruin.

…Let’s take a breath together with this months Grounding Statement:
Breathing in, the great mystery… 
Breathing out, not knowing…

Hello, October 🍂

As the season shifts, we’re invited to slow down, root in, and gather close. This month, we’d love for you to join us!

Raising little ones is full of joy… and let’s be honest, it can be stressful! That’s why we offer Family Mindfulness Circles: a chance for parents to slow down, breathe, and reconnect through gentle movement, stillness, and community. Meanwhile, the kids are cared for right on-site, exploring nature, playing, and enjoying their own mindfulness activities.

Our theme for September is “Impermanence and Existence”

Impermanence can be a scary word. It should be. It is meant to scare the ego into a fresh perspective.

However, impermanence exists because permanence exists. Nothingness exists because somethingness exists.

Impermanence means change is ongoing. Existence means life is ongoing.

How can we manage the balance between these two realities?

Is existence liberating? Is impermanence liberating?

Are we attached to something that is impermanent? Can we let it go?

Are we avoiding something that exists? Can we face it?

🌱We invite you to take a breath together with our
Grounding Statement for this month:

Breathing in, I am here…
Breathing out, here we are …

Join us for Family Mindfulness Tuesdays at 6:00 pm or Thursdays at 4:30 pm.

Raising young children is joyful — and stressful. Research shows mindfulness supports the health and well-being of both kids and adults. Thanks to Soil & Soul and Cocoplum Nature School, we’ve brought those benefits together in one gathering.

Family Mindfulness Circle offers a moment of freedom to parents and children. While parents enjoy mindfulness of movement, stillness, and connection, children engage in supervised nature-play and light mindfulness activities on-site.

—For Parents—
Children are cared for on-site by our childcare facilitators — professional caregivers trained and managed by Cocoplum Nature School.

—For Friends & Neighbors—
You don’t need to be a parent to join. Adults of all ages are welcome — just bring an open mind and a willingness to share a moment of stillness with the community.

🌱Earthwork Circles at The Hive are a hands-on opportunity to tend to the earth together — and in caring for the earth, we care for ourselves (Closed-toe shoes required).

Welcome to The Hive 🌱

The Hive is a place for us to return to our roots. For thousands of years, humans lived in touch with nature, connected to the soil. The Hive is a place for us to take care of each other as we take care of the earth.

Rooted in The Set — Delray Beach’s historic Black neighborhood — The Hive is a community-centered indoor coworking space, home to the Soil & Soul office, and a place to gather, build, and grow together. Just outside its doors, something new is taking root: The Hive Naturespace, a developing outdoor oasis where community and land grow side by side.

Indoors, it’s a home for connection and creativity. Outdoors, it’s becoming a patch of earth where nature is free to flourish — a place for humans to remember who we are, together with the land.

🌿 What is a nature space?

A place for nature to be whole. A place for us to remember who we are.

Every Thursday from 4:30 – 6:00 PM, we gather outside in the nature space for Family Mindfulness Circles and Earthwork Circles — coming together to slow down, connect, and tend the land as a community.

We’re partnering with nature — and each other — to co-create this space. Brought to life by The Coalition of Delray, Soil & Soul, Village Academy, and neighbors like you, on land designated as permanent greenspace.

This is how we remember: by serving and preserving the earth, the nature in us, and the nature around us. Serving and preserving paradise.

🌱 Want to help this nature space keep growing? We’re looking for volunteers from the community! DM us to get involved.
