Specials
I am looking for some kids and kid-like adults to try out a new children's meditation class! The first five participants to sign-up will be able to take the class for free! The class is about 1 hour long and will be held outside. I believe the class is ideal for ages 7 - 12, but should include some fun-loving adults! To sign-up, please email me or call me at 610-444-2629.
Tea-Table Talks
This spring was fairly quiet. My husband and I have been spending some time working on the house, entertaining friends and family, welcoming our son home from college, getting everybody set on their summer schedules and spending time on my fabulous Joyous Porch.
I've been trying some new things here at The Soulful Cricket, including an Open Mic Poetry Night in June. Unfortunately, it had to be canceled. I plan on trying Poetry Night again in September when the weather is still warm enough to hold it outside and things have gone back to routine for the school-year-folks. If you're a teacher, please encourage your students to write something and bring it to read! I believe that giving the kids the opportunity to read their own creations instills in them a sense of confidence that can only benefit them as they continue forward. Don't, however, think this is just for kids --- this event will be for all ages! Watch the website for information!
The final deadline to register for the Sculpting Your Inner Goddess seminar is fast approaching. All registrations must be in to Monica by July 7th so that she has enough time to order and buy materials. Monica Stover is a fabulous presenter and has an intuition about herself and others that is rare in most people. There is a limitation of only 15 registrants, so be sure to register! She will not be able to take walk-ins, because of the materials needed.
As with any new business, new opportunities come along! I've just had our baby grand piano tuned because I've been contacted by a local pianist with the idea of having a concert. I also have a high school friend with whom I've recently reconnected who designs her own cross-stitch patterns. She was just featured at our local cross-stitch store and we may be able to work out some classes here!
As explained in the special mentioned above, I've developed a new meditation class for children ages 7 - 12, but before I make it "live" I'd really like to try it out. If you and/or your children are interested, just let me know. I'm looking for about 5 people (mostly children with 1 or 2 adults) that can take the class and give me some feedback. We'll schedule the hour long class on a mutually agreeable date. I'm actually pretty excited about this class because it involves a neat activity!! In fact - I can't wait to try it out!!
I'm also working on another meditation-style project. I'm hoping to have it ready by the final quarter of this year - I'm still doing a lot of research. It's a "hold my feet to the fire" project and they can get a bit dicey, you know, but learning together is a lot of fun!
On a lighter note, Tim and I are hosting a reunion for Tim's college fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon, in July. He and his 1980s brothers have remained close for the last 30 years and getting as many together as possible is always a good time. I love to throw a good party!!
Enjoy your summer and I hope we see you soon!
