The article below was featured in my July 29, 2024, e‑mail newsletter. To subscribe to the newsletter, please use my contact form.

Dear Reader,

Two of my granddaughters are here for a few days. One of their favorite things is to spend time in my sewing room. I’ve set aside a box of scrap fabrics for them. They get busy sewing. I spend a lot of time threading needles, so they can keep going. I’ve learned a lot from them. The biggest thing is that the product doesn’t need to be perfect.

Maybe I should repeat that—mostly for my own benefit—it doesn’t have to be perfect.

There’s so much satisfaction in playing with the materials. In imagining what might be created. In watching the materials transform into something new.

So, here’s my invitation to you. Find some time to play. With whatever medium appeals to you. Maybe it’s fabric or fiber; maybe it’s clay; maybe it’s music or gardening. Have some fun, and remind yourself that it doesn’t have to be perfect.

Here’s another invitation: come to my home studio for a personalized felt-making workshop. You can book a 3-hour session, or a full day (or possibly even more if you have a big project in mind.) You can schedule a session for yourself or a small group—up to four participants. Because I supply all the tools and materials, you can just show up with your curiosity and willingness to play. To get going, simply reply to this email and we’ll begin planning your adventure.

If you’d like to experience listening to your body in new ways, you can join me for my weekly, online Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lesson. It’s still Free/Pay as You Wish.

Or perhaps you’d like to work with me individually through Feldenkrais lessons or private coaching. These sessions are an invitation to listen to yourself, to explore what your really want and how to move toward that. You can Book an Appointment or reply to this email. We can start with a free consult or dive right in and schedule a private session.

And one more reminder: my prices are going up August 1. But, if you’d like—up until July 31—you can book a session or a series of sessions at today’s prices.
