Hello All,
|
With the New Year, new opportunities are cropping up everywhere at breathe: New classes and teachers for you, a new vision for the store, and a huge (and very welcome) burst of energy and motivation for us all! Don't forget, we'll be closed next Monday, January 11, to make our new vision a reality. Aurora will still
be meeting with clients, so please do call us to book a session with
her. We will re-open on Tuesday, January 12 at 11 a.m. with an
exciting, new layout and news items!
This coming weekend Susan will be teaching the first ever Ayurvedic Intensive Weekend, a three-day course that will give you a solid foundation in Ayurveda, plus tools to help you live a healthier, happier life. Full details are below. We have space for just 4 more people! This is a great way to begin the new year, create balance and harmony.
Speaking of being healthy and happy, licensed Heal Your Life® teacher Michele Quesenberry will lead a class this Saturday, January 9, to Align Body, Mind, & Spirit based on Louise Hay's original weekend workshop. Space is limited, so sign up soon!
Then on Sunday, January 10, the new Teen Book Club will have its first meeting. We'll be discussing The Adoration of Jenna Fox, by Mary Pearson, but if you haven't finished the book yet come anyway! Club meetings are $7, and all club picks are 20% off for attendees.
Not a teen? Susan has you covered with her books & bagels book group, which will have its first meeting on Saturday, January 30, when they'll discuss Ghost, by Alan Lightman. Meetings are $9 (including coffee and pastries from Common Ground Cafe) and club picks are 20% off for members.
Thank you for all of the wonderful New Year wishes you've sent us, in person, on the phone, or online -- we're thrilled to be starting the next decade with such good friends around us.
namaste,
jenn
P.S. We have a few first edition signed copies still in stock of Liz Gilbert's new book, Committed. See Susan's review on the right. (She loved it!)
