I'll be shutting this page down soon BUT I wanted to let folks know that ISLAND WELLNESS is now open for business at 116 Calverly Street and former 116 Calverly practitioners get 20% off their first treatment. I took a SAUNA / COLD PLUNGE there last week and BOY OH BOY did it wake me up (and I think my shrieking woke up the whole neighborhood...). Anyway, Nick and Casey are lovely and they have a variety of therapeutic offerings as well as their own line of CBD products. Check them out! Nick also plans to build a crystal meditation cave in the back garage...

It is with a range of complex feelings that I announce to this FB page that we recently sold 116 Calverly. While I will NOT miss wondering how on earth given present circumstances I could whole-heartedly gather people together in such a small space with 1 tiny window and a couple of ceiling fans (!), I WILL miss --or more accurately said, I HAVE BEEN MISSING FOR 18 MONTHS now-- many MANY things: primarily all the amazing facilitators, dancers, healers, movers, musicians, meditators, yogis, artists, teachers, tantricas, therapists, laughers, community builders, and life explorers who have graced 116! THANK YOU SO MUCH for all you brought to the space and to each other. 💚💚💚

I will also miss the heated wood floors (sigh!) and the whimsical quirky vibe of the indoor & outdoor spaces. Looking back, my favorite thing anyone ever said to me as owner was, "Wow-- this is a space where anyone could feel welcome." 🙏

Happily, the new owners are also in the wellness field (they have a center currently in Newport with some interesting offerings some of which they will be bringing to PVD). I will share their info here as soon as they have their PVD website up and running.

Meanwhile, I cleaned out the LOST & FOUND cabinet-- I have connected a few items with names on them to their owners but do you recognize any of these (red knit circular scarf, grey knit scarf, patterned green & mustard shawl, white j-jill sweater jacket, grey hoodie sweatshirt, assorted water bottles (complete with pre-Covid water inside!)? If so, please claim ASAP as otherwise they are headed to Savers...

My love to each of you-- May you be safe! May you be happy! May you be healthy! And may you live with ease! 💚

116 has been in hibernation since March and will continue as such at least through spring 2021. Meanwhile, 116 artist & practitioner Roseminna Watson started a cool project that includes a few collaborators from the 116 community. Check it out here:

This project formed as a mechanism for the survival of the spirit — for regularly practicing artists and closeted artists, for friends, family members, neighbors and strangers, for anyone facing struggle in the changed world.

The cherry tree in full bloom in front of 116... reminding us that "spring comes and the grass grows by itself" while she patiently awaits our return to this sacredly whimsical space.
