News from the Soulful Cricket
January 2013
Edition #1
Welcome to the first edition of The Fireside Journal. On a quarterly basis I will be sending out a newsletter highlighting events, happenings and specials at The Soulful Cricket. I may also choose a topic on which to briefly ruminate in a segment entitled "Tea-Table-Talk".
You may sign-up to receive the newsletter (and interim announcements) by using the "Receive Announcements & Newsletters via Email or Feedburner" box on the right or by sending me your email address.
Announcements
• We're Open! As of January
1st, 2013 The Soulful Cricket is taking day-use reservations for the downstairs spaces! There are several rooms available, including the dining room, den, living
room and great room. To see more information about the rooms go to What We Do on our website. For pricing, please call 610-444-2629 or email for a quote.
• Fabulous Partnership! The Soulful Cricket is so happy to have the opportunity to work with Sue Bara and her own business expansion into Kennett Square. Sue is the owner of Nature and Spirit and DandeLion Grove. She will be taking appointments for Reiki Sessions, Herbal Counseling, Stress Counseling and Holistic Health Counseling here to serve the Kennett Square area. To make an appointment, please call Sue at 302-722-4476 or by email. Keep an eye for other classes that Sue will be offering here, as well!
• Classes and Events! Details will be provided in the Schedule of Events listed below, but there are some cool things happening here at The Soulful Cricket. Our first is a course of five classes on meditation that is being offered as part of our partnership with Sue Bara. This is an exciting class for both Sue and me, as we'll be combining our knowledge of meditation to create a class to benefit anybody, regardless of faith or spiritual background. Registration is by Friday, January 11th and spots are still available.
Our second happening is actually two happenings...Two book groups that will meet once a month each. These are no long-term commitment books groups that you can choose to come just for the book-of-the-month on either the fourth Wednesday or last Sunday. We will be randomly working our way through a list of "must-read" classics that I have compiled over the years.

Specials
Our first Monday Morning Meditations course is at NO CHARGE! To kick-off our new venture, our first class, Monday Morning Meditations,
is being offered at no charge. We will take donations, but we want to
introduce you to the many benefits of meditation as well as to the space
The Soulful Cricket has to offer. Take advantage of probably the ONLY time you get a free five week class!
Tea-Table Talks
It's pretty exciting to take the next big step in doing what I've always dreamed of. It's also very scary. As with all things, this will have to morph, change and flow as I better recognize the needs of all of you and what exactly this house is able to handle. It will be a learning process, to be sure.
The meditation class is a great way for me to kick this all off. Meditation has so many benefits that many of us don't recognize. I think that the impression of meditation is that it's some "hippy culture hanger-on". This class may be the myth-buster you need! Just the proven medical benefits from meditation alone make it a very real and healthy addition to your daily life. Don't believe me? Read about what the University of Massachusetts Medical School does with meditation and mindfulness in their own hospital and the research behind the benefits that led to this fabulous program. There is study after study proving just how much good it does. This is the place and time for you to try it and see how it can benefit you. Heck - the course is free, so what do you have to lose other than an hour or so just for your self each week?
There are so many opportunities for The Soulful Cricket that I can't list them all! I would love to do small art shows, musical programs, knitting groups, book groups, receptions, art classes, food and wine tastings... it's only the imagination that's limiting the many uses this home can have. Let your own imagination run wild as to how I can help accommodate you and your group. Call me and we'll talk about how to make it happen.
The year 2013 is promising to be a fabulous year... because we have the ability to make it so. I''m taking this opportunity to fulfill my dreams and I hope you'll join me!! Here's to starting off a new year!
