Final Hours of Silent Auction
Final Hours of Silent Auction
Join us on Sunday, November 3rd 9:00–10:30 AM for a Thank You Potluck
This is it! We are down to the final hours of the Silent Auction. Click now to see the status of every item. Then, check back frequently as we approach midnight Saturday, November 2nd. We’d like to create a little buzz, a final kick as we move into the homestretch. We have bids totalling $775 right now, and I’d love to push the total over $1000. It’s all for a great cause!
To give you some incentive, I’ve listed an additional “SURPRISE” at the very bottom of the long list of donated items. Scroll down to see what is available and make a bid (especially on items that don’t have bids yet). It’s all to support Everyday Wellbeing and our mission to make vibrant wellbeing accessible to all by providing donation-based classes, workshops, and events that empower people to live their healthiest lives.
Then make plans to attend our Thank You Potluck on Sunday, November 3rd right after yoga at the Munson Library (1046 South East Street, Amherst) 9:00-10:30 AM. Bring something to share or just bring your beautiful selves and your wonderful energy. We’ll breakfast together, announce winning bids, and award prizes. (You can pay your winning bid amount with cash, check or Venmo.)
Sunday, November 3rd
9:00 - 10:30 AM
Munson Library, 1046 South East Street, Amherst
We are now Indoors at the Munson Library!
We had a beautiful outdoor season! Thank you, Andy and Jacqui and everyone at Andrews Greenhouse!
The indoor season has begun with a packed class with Jen Venderleeden this morning. You can always see who is teaching (same schedule with the occasional substitute) at both the old and new websites.
No Yoga at the Munson Library Tuesday, November 5th
Right when we need it most, we won’t be able to offer yoga at the library on Election Day because it will be used all day for voting. Luckily, Christie Rosen is offering a free Election Day Yoga for Stress Relief to support the community through this challenging time.
Christie writes, “With the intensity and stress of the election, it’s more important than ever to take steps to care for ourselves. What self-care practices will you focus on this week? How will you show up for yourself with compassion, especially in moments of anxiety or stress?”
Christie is an award winning author, wellness coach and yoga instructor. Learn more.
If you sign up for class but cannot attend, you will have access to the recording in Christie's on-demand library. Let’s come together to find peace amidst the uncertainty online next Tuesday, 11/5 at 12pm ET.
Classes and Workshops
Qigong: Saturday 9:15–10:00 AM
(Moving to Sundays 11.10.24)
Qigong is a gentle, standing, ancient healing practice of slow movement, deep breathing, and self massage. It’s easier on the joints than many yoga postures and is especially gentle on the knees, wrists, and shoulders.
Tai Chi: Mondays 9:15–10:00 AM
Tai chi is an ancient Chinese martial art initially developed for self-defense. It has evolved into a gentle, low-impact series of deliberate, flowing motions that match the breath. Often referred to as "meditation in motion," tai chi provides benefits to mental and physical health by balancing the body's chi (vital energy).
Understanding Osteopenia & Osteoporosis with Dr. Amy Rothenberg
Licensed naturopathic doctor, Amy Rothenberg, will review the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis and share evidence-based integrative medicine approaches to build and maintain strong, healthy bones. Both events are free and open to all, but space is limited.
Monday, November 11th at 1:00 PM
369 Pleasant Street in Northampton
The building is ADA accessible and there is ample free parking. Light snacks and drinks will be provided.
Your Support Is Always Welcome!
We appreciate every financial donation, but there are many ways to contribute to our community and to the wellbeing of every person involved. Research shows that the quality of close relationships are important, but that casual connections and acquaintances also contribute to our wellbeing. It makes a difference when we see each other at yoga.
Here are four more ways to contribute:
1. Spread the Word
Share this newsletter with your friends and family (and acquaintances). We’d especially like to reach people in the BIPOC community, those prone to social isolation, and members of under-resourced communities. If you know a reporter at The Daily Hampshire Gazette, we’d love Everyday Wellbeing to be featured in the newspaper. Email us at everydaywellbeing4u@gmail.com and help us connect.
2. Offer Your Expertise
So many in our community have knowledge and experience with holistic practices that promote wellbeing. We are collecting proposals about what types of classes, workshops, and events you can offer.
3. Give Us Constructive Feedback
We’d love to know how we can improve our offerings. You can also submit anonymous feedback about our teachers and events.
4. Contribute Financially
Every donation (no matter the size) benefits our community and widens the possibilities of what we can offer. Please make a tax-deductible contribution in any of these ways:
a. By Check
You can drop a check made out to Everyday Wellbeing, Inc. in the donation box or by mail to Everyday Wellbeing at 5 Edgewood Terrace in Hadley, MA 01035.
b. Via Venmo
Search the Venmo app for @everydaywellbeingMA, or scan the QR code below.
I acknowledge every donation from our new email address: everydaywellbeing4u@gmail.com.
If you can’t find it in your inbox, search your spam folder for our email address and drag the email into your inbox, or right click on it and choose “not spam.” This will “teach” your email server that you value these communications, and they will show up in your primary inbox.
Another option is to add everydaywellbeing4u@gmail.com and yogaoutside@substack.com (the source of our newsletters) to your contacts list. This way you’ll never miss an update or an announcement.
