Thank you!!!!! I love and appreciate this community so much

Hi Everyone

I was thinking back to 1 year ago; I was in the unknown with my business, like so many others, in our 2nd month of temporarily closing our doors.

I was scared and, honestly, did not know if I could keep our stay afloat.

I reached out to you, my village wellness community. In the dark, I asked for donations, I made some T-shirts to support both Village Wellness and other organizations in need (which you can still get if you wish). And you responded.

Many of our Acupuncture members kept their membership active, even though they could not come in for sessions.WOW!

Folks bought our T-Shirts, donated to our GoFundMe Campaign, funds from which helped us pay our rent and cover our bills in those early days.

Today, from a business perspective we are doing relatively well, we are healthy. We are operating with income that is about 50% of what it was in pre-covid times, but we know this will improve as we are able to reduce some limitations of our current practice as people feel safer, vaccinations increase, and covid rates reduce.

SO THANK YOU!

Thank you for booking your in-person sessions.

Thank you for taking an online class.

Thank you for telling your friends and loved ones about us - this it the #1 way people find us!

Thank you for following, liking, commenting, and sharing us on Instagram.

Thank you for voting for us for best of contests and readers choice awards.

Thank you for participating in our, now 7-month old, Village Wellness Online.

thank you!!!!!!!!! (from the bottom, sides, top, and back of my heart.)

One of the real gifts of Village Wellness Online for me has been being with so many of you live, every weekday morning, for the last 7 months for our based donation Awake! and Bliss! Sessions

Together we have completed 142 classes- all recorded and accessible via our Course Homepage. WOW!!!

The community of friends that has formed through this time of great upheaval - has been so beautiful and so healing in a time when heart connection and relationships were challenged with physical distancing and just general fear.

In the mornings, together, we have deep-dived into the fundamentals of Meditation, Breathwork, Kundalini Yoga, and the transformative power of mantra and sound healing.

Moving forward in May - I am going to be offering our morning Awake Yogic movement sessions just 2 days a week, Tuesdays and Fridays 8:30-9am ET, rather than every weekday. For May we will be doing a deep dive into The Chakra System. Beginners are encouraged to join us!

AND! Thanks to a few VW community members, we will be continuing Bliss! Our morning meditation sessions every single weekday 9:00-9:15 am.

These sessions continue to be by donations AND starting this week we will be giving 50% of meditation session proceeds to a charity or organization in need.

Each week we will pick a new organization to support, based on feedback from our meditation guides.

For this week, 50% of donations will go to an organization TBD that supports BIPOC individuals chosen by Sherry P.

Donations can be made via our Donation Bowl on our website.

Well, if you have read all the way down to here! I LOVE YOU!!!

Thank you so much and have an amazing week

Lots of love!
