How do you cultivate joy in your life? For me, spending time with friends, eating yummy food, drinking wine, laughing and connecting are things that bring me joy. Sometimes though, I need to not be so busy. I need to put aside some time for myself.
To stop.
To breathe.
To be grateful.
To have heart connections with myself and others.
On Friday morning I am looking forward to setting aside some time to do just that. Linette Bixby, certified mindfulness teacher, is planning twice monthly gatherings on alternating Monday and Friday mornings to support any of us who need the space and guidance to work on cultivating joy in our lives.
Linette is a mother, wife, teacher, writer, friend, ally, and mentor. She gets it. Spending just five minutes in her presence leaves you feeling seen, heard, connected and joyful. Can't we all use a little (or a lot) of that?
The first of hopefully many "Cultivating Joy" gatherings will be on Friday, August 26th from 9:30-10:30. We will have tea, coffee, and time well spent together.

We only have a handful of spots left for Yoga Nidra with Leslie Abney Rowans this coming Monday evening. Don't you want to snag one? Yoga Nidra is such a great way to start off your week! Take some time to refresh and restore your mind and body!

Deep Dive Book Club is back in August, and luckily Third Place Books Lake Forest Park has plenty of copies. With hot weather predicted for the next couple of days, it's a good time to find a cool place to relax and enjoy this powerful and thought provoking novel by Jodi Picoult. A link to more info is posted in the comments. Come join us!

I went to a toe reader to get insight about my life path—and the results were totally on point This little piggie means abundance...

We couldn't agree more!
TEND Community is so fortunate to have so many vibrant, loving, and beautiful women as part of our community. Here is just a small handful who make it a community of women supporting women.

At TEND Community, "women supporting women" happens in two ways:
1. When you show up to a class or event, you are directly supporting the instructor and their own personal business.
2. When you offer to instruct, you are supporting women in the community by offering your talents, time, and opportunity for connection with them.

Whether we see you at just one event, or at each and every one, you are a special and unique part of TEND Community. Don't hesitate to reach out - we love hearing from you!
