Mother's Day Tea & Yoga
Join us on May 9th from 10:00am - 12:00pm alongside Radiant Heart Yoga & Wellness Center for this Mother’s Day gathering as an invitation to slow down, soften, and be held in a space of care and connection.
We will begin with a gentle, all levels yoga practice designed to open the body and quiet the mind. The movement will be slow and intentional, guided by the breath, creating a sense of ease, grounding, and presence. This portion of the experience is less about doing and more about feeling, allowing each person to arrive exactly as they are.
As the body settles, we will transition into a restorative sound bath using crystal singing bowls. The tones of the bowls create a deeply calming environment, supporting the nervous system and inviting the body into stillness. It becomes a space where nothing is needed, nowhere to go, just an opportunity to rest, receive, and be.
From there, we’ll gently return and gather for tea and pastries, creating a moment to connect, reflect, and celebrate.
Whether coming with loved ones or simply taking time for oneself, this experience is meant to feel nourishing, spacious, and meaningful for all mom’s!
Please note, this event will take place outdoors and has a rain date of May 10th. Additionally, cancellations must be made a week in advance for a refund. No refunds will be given if cancellations are less than a week’s notice.

Space is limited - first come, first served!
One of the best parts of my job as an author is visiting schools to share my books with young learners. Each of my stories has messages of kindness, love, and friendship. It's a joy to share these values, and I consider every one of my readers to be a new friend. What a wonderful thing to collect - friends!
