Lovely teas and a great space to meet up with friends for quiet and intimate conversation or to come alone and ruminate on where you are in the moment. Stop by here if downtown or by Depot Park for a nice little retreat.

This absolutely gorgeous space feels deeply welcoming, nurturing, and safe. I've participated in ecstatic dances, yoga, meditation, and quigong classes here so far and loved each offering. I highly recommend connecting with the owners, Brooke and Caleb, and their team of facilitators. I'm grateful that such a space exists in our community.

Howl is one of the most peaceful places I've found in Gainesville. The atmosphere inside and outside is weird, and thought provoking, and absolutely fun to explore (There are even hidden goodies!). The Amanda Palmer and Agua de Florida are must-try. Finally, the proprietors of this fine establishment are absolutely lovely humans, knowledgeable, kind, and inviting. Overall, I think the Howl is a welcome, and refreshing spot of weirdness in a city losing it's folksy charm to big business, and student housing.
Thanks for bringing the vibe back to G-Ville!

This place is MAGIC! Hidden rooms, incredibly interesting vibe, and the Bamboo Forrest (Green tea + Matcha blend) was great! They’ve got some super high grade specialty teas too. Atmosphere was chill and full of people laughing. Nothin short of lovely!

This is hands down the best place to go get tea in Gainesville. The staff is so dedicated to creating art for the eyes and the mouth and something unexpected is always waiting to be found. It’s incredibly magical and beautiful and will inspire wonder for all ages.

House of waking life is an incredibly safe and dynamic space full of magical offerings for community, healing and creativity. I’ve gone to their ecstatic dance and had a wonderful experience, as well as the figure drawing and dream circle. I appreciate that they don’t just have yoga there, it’s a very creative and open ended place with endless possibilities. Brooke and Caleb have outdone themselves with this space. Thank you both for bringing this place to life!

Lovely little place to get quality coffee. Best iced coffee I’ve ever tasted in my life. Great vibes inside very welcoming. I look forward to checking out one of their events very soon.
