Anniversary Party 2021

“You can always begin again.” This is one of my favorite quotes from Buddhist teacher Sharon Salzburg. It is one that came to mind for this year’s anniversary party as we truly are beginning again. New studio. New students. New teachers. New virtual offerings. New schedule. New parts of life to contend with. But the idea of beginning again feels even more right as we make the decision to postpone this year’s anniversary party. I love our anniversary time as it is a celebration of community, of longevity, and the fact we are still here together. But celebration and being here in a large gathering feels a little tough right now. We need our yoga. We need our quiet. We need our rest. We need time to honor the tenderness or restlessness we may all be feeling in this moment. 

With this in mind, we are moving our August celebration and will begin again on Saturday, October 9th. It will be a combination Planting Party and Anniversary Gathering. 

Come help us plant Rain’s Garden. Wish list items for the garden will be posted on our chalkboard wall and blog very soon. Bring plants, mulch, compost, gardening gloves, whatever you prefer. Spend some time digging in the dirt and help create our new outdoor space.

Stay after planting or drop by any time for community time with friends and loved ones. Bring a chair, relax in our new porch swings or eat at our new tables and benches. Bring your own food or enjoy food lovingly prepared by Comal 864. 

Raffle winner will be drawn at 4pm and a blessing / dedication for Rain’s Garden will be offered at that time.

As we transition from summer to fall, may you give yourself time to rest, time to be. We are so thankful for the opportunity to begin again with each of you! Happy 16th Anniversary Greenville Yogis… we did it! We are still here!
