Congratulations to City of Easton PA Official on the designation of Centre Square as a 2026 Great Public Space in Pennsylvania! Center Square (also known to locals as “the Circle”) is one of four Great Public Spaces recognized by the Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Planning Association this year as a model for sustainability and engaging community space.

Centre Square continues to evolve as a vibrant civic space, shaped by the people, businesses, culture, and public life that have long defined the heart of Easton. Omnes is proud to be working with the City to improve the four quadrants around the Circle. The first phase of the project was completed in the spring, with trees, planters, and benches installed on the southwest corner outside of Crayola Experience Easton. The second phase on the southeast corner will include similar additions, with a circular bench, archway signage, lighting, and seating along Lehn’s Court. That phase will be installed after the completion of the Grand Square Hotel by Enjoy With Gusto Hospitality Group in spring 2027.

With rain threatening to put a damper on Saturday’s sunrise Sound Bath Karl Stirner Arts Trail with Blue Zones Project Lehigh Valley, we decided to move the session indoors to Omnes’ own studio at the Silk Mill, just steps off the Trail along the Bushkill Creek! We pulled a ‘Stepbrothers’ and cleared the main floor (so much room for activities!) to welcome a full house for the resonant session led by Loring (freedOM within ~Yoga w/ Loring & Traveling Yoga Roadshow) of The Valley Om | Yoga & Bodywork, followed by conversation and refreshments by Green Vida Co.™.

While this was the last “Activate Easton” summer pop-up, there’s still time to weigh in about parks experiences and programming at www.tinyurl.com/BZEaston

Last week we hosted our first-ever Sound Bath as part of the Activate Easton Plan with Blue Zones Project Lehigh Valley! Loring of The Valley Om | Yoga & Bodywork led participants in an immersive, meditative session of overlapping tones and resonances against the backdrop of Nevin Park’s historic fountain. The event included a discussion about the value of parks & nature in Easton over free refreshments and cold-pressed juices by Green Vida Co.™.

Missed last week’s session? Join us for another Sound Bath this Saturday morning at 8am on the Karl Stirner Arts Trail (Karl Stirner Arts Trail)! Spots are limited and RSVP is required. More information at www.tinyurl.com/NevinPark

Lehigh University students are addressing the climate crisis in creative (and beautiful) ways, led by professor Lauren Scott. For City of Allentown’s Love Your Block grant program, Lehigh University students designed small-scale shade and cooling structures, exploring a range of different construction methods while responding to the challenges of urban heat.

The studio’s goal was to develop “evidence-based, community-centered approaches” to urban heat with easily deployable structures. Omnes principal Laura was delighted to serve as guest critic, and it was inspiring to see the thoughtful designs and beautifully crafted study models, which pushed beyond the conventional furnishings typically found in public landscapes.
