Beloved Community is the spiritual community of Tikkun Farm—a community of companionship for people who want to do the inner work of becoming more fully human while walking alongside others doing the same.

We practice radical hospitality. You do not have to arrive with certainty, the right language, or a particular religious identity. We make room for unanswered questions, contemplative practice, sacred texts, silence, shared food, Creation, and the ordinary experience of learning to love and be loved.

Creation is part of our spiritual life here—not simply a backdrop, but a living community in which we listen, notice, care, connect, and encounter the Sacred.

We gather monthly for Meditation, Discussion & Reflection, Spiritual Ritual grounded in poetry and chant, Family Days in Nature, and for reflection on the themes of the Full and New Moons.

We gather seasonally for retreats, solstice and equinox celebrations, movie nights, etc. Check our Calendar to see what’s coming up this month. 

Thursdays @ 6:30 to 9:00pm
Join the Cincinnati Writers Group using the pomodoro technique. This technique gets words onto the page quickly and effortlessly. We go through several 20 minute writing sprints, where we don’t talk and continuously write. Interspersed with our sprints are breaks where we chat, get drinks, stretch, etc.

Mondays @ 6:30 to 7:30pm
Gentle Yoga is a practice that helps us remember to be patient and tender with our bodies and minds. As we slow down in these practices, involving gentle stretching, conscious breathing, and meditation, we make space in ourselves.

First Monday each month
Join us as we reflect on how our changing spiritual beliefs impact the way we engage the world. Maybe you have spiritual questions you want to explore… maybe you’re not quite at home in the spiritual community you’ve been a part of… maybe you’re wondering what a larger, more expansive spiritual path looks like… we consider all these Questions and more! 

The Sunday evening closest to the new moon @ 7:00pm
Join us for movement and meditation on the new moon. We have yoga mats but feel free to bring your own if you prefer, along with any blocks or bolsters you want to have with you. Also, bring a journal.  We will begin with 30 minutes of gentle yoga.

2nd and 4th Wednesdays each month @ 7:00pm
This sacred gathering invites deep reflection on the season using nature and poetry. Our time together includes generous silence, simple song, candle prayers and fellowship.

Saturday, Oct 17 @ 9:00am
We meet up at 9 am and share in a short nature-based reflection. Then, we get to work! Serving the land and the people who rely on our services. Dress for the weather

The third Saturday @ 7:00pm
Let the rhythm move your spirit! Please join us this Saturday evening for our monthly community drum circle.  If you have a drum, bring it. If not – we have *plenty* to borrow.  All levels of drummers are welcome, including beginners (even watchers and dancers).

The third Wednesday each month @7:00pm
Join us at the farm for some Group Meditation. We’ll be outside so dress for the weather! We meditate together with only the sounds of the farm to accompany us. At the end of the hour, we’ll have a brief conversation for reflection

The fourth Sunday @ 2:30-4:30pm
A family gathering inviting people of all ages to discover the sacred wisdom of creation. We will explore, create, and reflect. There will be time to visit the animals, and enjoy snacks & fellowship.

Rhythm, like a clock, creates the order that rituals need to occur. Rituals, the numbers on the clock, sanctify time with prayers and blessing, festivals, confessions, welcomings and good-byes. Together they create a sacred order that holds us and grows us.

There are common rhythms and practices that help us grow into our wise mind. While some rituals are practiced individually and others are shared communally, the fact that we practice them, wherever we are, reminds us that we share a common journey. 

We gather several times a year for Community Meals. Sometimes we gather to cook together, other times it’s potluck. We share our stories, break bread and bless one another.

These gatherings help us Remember Who We Are. The Beloved Community at Tikkun Farm intends to be a community of companionship for pilgrims committed to engaging in the spiritual inner work that increases our capacity to see the presence of Love in all things. We welcome all pilgrims seeking companionship on this inward journey bringing us home to our truest selves. 

Gather around shared food, reflection, spiritual practice, meaningful work, and relationship. Beloved Community offers an intentional spiritual expression of Tikkun’s hospitality. Contact Rev. Mary Laymon at Mary@tikkunfarm.com for more information about The Beloved Community or to set up a one-on-one visit.
