| Hello All, |
So next time you visit us in the shop be ready for big changes! You'll find a new store design, new products, more seating, and (soon) coffee and wi-fi! After 5 years we were ready for a radical Feng Shui and we did it. We know you will love it!
In order to make room we have moved about 500 books into Second Wind in anticipation of a books by the pound sale. Save the date of Saturday, January 30, from 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. and come by with lots of bags to take home your new treasures!
Many of you have been reading the book Solemate: Master the Art of Aloneness & Transform Your Life by Lauren Mackler, and I know it has already changed some lives. Great news -- Lauren is coming to breathe in March! She has led many workshops across the country, including at Omega, and we are truly excited that she wants to come to breathe. Lauren is a renowned coach and bestselling
author who teaches through her Solemate workshops how to free yourself from the shackles
of your life-conditioning and reclaim your innate wholeness. It's about
treating yourself well, shedding your self-defeating patterns, and
becoming the person you were born to be. The workshop is for people who
are single or divorced, or seeking greater independence within their
partnership. Cost: $295, two-day workshop, and space is limited. Please let us know ASAP if you are interested in attending as we must have a minimum number of people registered by February 1.
Please take a look at all the offerings for January below, and February is already up on the website! We have a wonderful singing bowl meditation on Friday night and a workshop on Saturday. Healing, toning and stress reduction using the bowls -- it's going to be a very sonorous weekend!
I can't wait to get your feedback on the store! Hope to see you soon.
love,
susan
