Who We Are

Two lifetimes ago, Wendy Myers received her B.A. in Management Science and Economics from Lycoming College.  Once she and her husband started their family, Wendy quit the 9 - 5 world and entered the world of volunteerism.  During her 15 years of volunteering, she became quite adept at hosting events to raise money for various charities.   It ends up that she just likes to throw a good party!

Wendy's business knowledge and event experience, as well as her love of people led to the dream of wanting to open a B&B with a cultural arts center.  While remodeling the house for the B&B, friends continually asked to "borrow" the downstairs space for events of their own, including baby showers, wedding receptions, surprise birthday parties, fundraisers and author readings.  When another friend asked if she could use the space to expand her reiki business into Kennett Square as well as work with Wendy to teach a meditation class, she knew it was time to open her home as The Soulful Cricket - A Cultural Retreat For All The Senses.

The Soulful Cricket is located in Wendy's home, The House in The Woods (yes -- it came with that name).  Located less than two miles outside of beautiful downtown Kennett Square, PA, yet nestled within 25 acres of woodland that has been put into conservancy, the location is both convenient and restful.

As life continually changes and takes different directions, Wendy has returned to school to get an M.S.W. degree.  The house has been remodeled and is listed for sale. The Soulful Cricket is now more name than place, so the name and spirit will go with Wendy wherever she lands!

We may still do events and classes on a very limited basis until the house sells, so feel free to contact us and see if we can't work something out.

You may contact us via post message.  Thank you!

The House in the Woods is open by appointment only.

Welcome to The Soulful Cricket and to our home.  We hope you're able to find rest, relaxation, growth and joy here.
