Hello All,
| As you may have heard (or seen on Facebook), Susan is having fun with crop circles in England this week. In the meantime, I'm holding down the fort and training breathe's new employees! We had so many people contact the store about the open positions, and are incredibly grateful for the show of support. Susan has narrowed it down to a few wonderful women, and I can't wait to introduce them to the store and to you. Feel free to stop in and say hi!
Our schedule this week is full to the brim of things to help you get back (or to stay) on track. Christine Stewart will be facilitating her monthly Deep Journaling class tonight at 7 p.m.; Gina Sager is offering Yoga Nidra tomorrow, Thursday, at 6:30 p.m.; the breathe Women's Group meets next Monday at 7 p.m.; and Kerry Kurowski will be teaching a class on Ritual Construction next Wednesday at 7 p.m. And we've got three different opportunities for readings! Aurora is in today for psychic readings; angel reader Christine Schreibstein will be in on both Thursday, August 19, and Saturday, August 21st; and Jael is back for her second Saturday of psychic readings, August 21! You can get full details below; please call us to schedule an appointment, as they tend to book up.
Since this will be my last week at breathe, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for a year filled with amazing conversations. It's been a true pleasure getting to know all of breathe's wonderful friends, practitioners, and customers, and I wish you continued love and light on your journeys and endeavors.
namaste, jenn

Wednesday, August 18, 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. Deep
Journaling with Christine Stewart
In a quiet space, participants will respond to questions,
prompts, images, objects, or music through writing. The goal is to pause to
appreciate all that we've accomplished and consciously choose to deepen the
experience of the weekend ahead. We write in silence, in the same way a group
gathers to sit in meditation together. In this way, everyone will leave more
centered and ready to enjoy the coming weekend. We will always end with a gratitude
list. (This class may be extended for several weeks if participants are
interested). Christine Stewart is program director for arts in
education, literary arts, and children's events with the Maryland State Arts
Council, and director of Maryland's Poetry Out Loud program. A former
artist-in-residence with Creative Alliance in Baltimore, Ms. Stewart is the
founding director of the successful Write Here, Write Now workshops and has
