'Tis the season
...to celebrate Christmas in July!For over a decade, we have hosted a holiday food drive to benefit Provisions Bulverde Food Pantry. It was brought to my attention (thanks, Jenni!) that they have recently issued a call for help stocking its shelves. Read their post below: Good afternoon, friends! The past 6 months have been CRAZY BUSY for us! For example, just this last week (we are only open 3 days a week), we provided groceries to 174 families in need!! 174 families! That's what it's been like for us for the last several months, and it doesn't seem to be diminishing! Wow!! We are so blessed to be able to help these families during a time of need. But we can't do it without your help. We are currently in need of some KEY items for our shelves: TOILET PAPER, CANNED CORN, JELLY, CANNED SOUP (other than tomato). If you are inclined to donate a few of these items, we would be very grateful! We have an amazon wish list--these items are the top 4 on the list. Any and all help is appreciated! Thank you so much!! If you have Amazon Prime, you can use their wishlist, and it will ship directly to them. If not, you can bring supplies to the studio for me to deliver to them on August 1st, or I can use my Amazon account to acquire your items, and we can run your card through the studio. Click the button below to view the Amazon wishlist:
If you're called to contribute, please do so! Feel free to reply directly to this email if you need help. I'd love to help you help our community!! Do you want to join Winnie's Book Club?She has officially selected our next book! This month, we will read "The Ten Thousand Doors of January" by Alix E. Harrow. If you've been waiting for a fantasy novel, now is the time to dive in! A review from another author says, "A gorgeous, aching love letter to stories, storytellers, and the doors they lead us through...absolutely enchanting." If you want to join the book club, read the book! And save the date for the snack and chat to discuss "The Ten Thousand Doors of January" on Thursday, August 29th, from Noon to 1:45 pm. Maybe you'll read it on your vacation from the studio...This is a reminder that Hand Craft Yoga will be closed next week! There will be no classes from Monday, July 22nd, through Thursday, July 25th. We will resume our regular schedule on Monday, July 29th! What are you doing this Wednesday?With three chances to practice, I hope your answer includes YOGA! Come to the studio for Yoga Basics at Noon or Yoga Immersion at 7 pm. Or, perhaps your schedule is open for happy hour yoga at Spring Creek Garden Center? If so, come on over to the Gathering Haus for an all-levels, air-conditioned class from 5:30 to 6:25 p.m. Let me know you're coming to Spring Creek Gardens by clicking the button below:
Your kindness and generosity are greatly appreciated. They make our community a better place. Thank you for being a part of Hand Craft Yoga. With love, Monica |
Hi, I’m a creator
Welcome, Summer Can you feel the shift? There’s something about the official start of summer that stirs up momentum. The light stretches longer, the energy feels more alive, and suddenly everything seems possible. It’s a beautiful time to clarify what you want more of — and take one brave step toward it. Maybe that means spending more time outside. Maybe it’s clearing out the clutter in your home or your mind. Maybe it’s finally asking for help with something you’ve been trying to carry solo....
Inquiring minds want to know... Many of you have brought to my attention that I have yet to schedule any overnight retreats for 2025. This is very disheartening, I agree!! Please be assured that I am 100% committed to bringing overnight retreats back (and in a big way!). However, this season of life has me in the palm of the paw of my sweet elderly poodle. Don't be alarmed! Winnie is currently doing well. She is still snoring, yowling, and scarfing down her food. But she's been dealing with...
