I imagine you all have a multitude of emails in your inbox about all of the ways to and all of the ways not to move into 2026. I won't try to do any of either. Who really knows what this human experience is like for you, but, you. As part of the Wellspring's mission statement, our wish to you is simply the same as every month: "Care for yourself, wisely." Put in the energy to cultivate a practice of self study, which in turn becomes Self study and see what happens. Sending you all prayers for warmth and coziness, safety and security.
🎇 Happy New Year Wellspring family! This also means we can celebrate our 2 year anniversary! What a gift. Thank you all for such a time. So much learning and unlearning has occurred, building and rebuilding, sharing deep nourishment - creatively and spiritually.
During our little holiday break, our space has been renovated to begin our new program: Enchanted Mountain Waldorf! This homeschool hybrid enrichment program offers classes for ages 3-5, 6-9, and 10-14. Our classes are full for the rest of this school year but we have a waitlist if you're interested in joining us in the fall! Check out our website and spread the word!

We do still have space in our parent-toddler offering which is a monthly program for caregivers and their littlest ones (ages newborn - 35 months). The first of these is on 1/24.

🪷 Kelly will be leading Tuesday nights for a while! Jan. 6- Feb. 10th. Join her from 6-7:15pm for a 6 week series to "Find Peace and Joy in the Winter Stillness"! Beat the winter blues by aligning your practice with the season's natural rhythm. We will move from the "Art of Hibernation" (think restorative, rest, grounding) to "Returning the Light" (heart-openers, heat-building flows, sparking joy and vitality) as we advance through the weeks. Kelly will offer you techniques to boost your mood and stay mindful. $15 per drop in or grab a Wellspring pass! All levels welcome.
🌼 Jessie will join you on Saturday mornings for the Winter! Starting this Saturday 1/3 from 9-10am and going through February, all levels welcome. This series will be an offering of self study as well as community building. Most weeks the opportunity to have tea and conversation is open after class. Come once or come each week, we will explore breathing and movement as we work through the season learning a bit more about the Yamas and Niyamas. This learning layers in your practice so that you may show up off the mat just as intentionally as you do on it. $15 per drop in or grab a Wellspring pass!
May you care for yourself, wisely.
-Your Soulful Gardeners
