Soul Recharge: Women’s Circle hosted at The Schoolhouse Art Studio
Hosted at Schoolhouse Studios, Heather Carlson invites you to a Women's Circle. We'll begin by gently grounding ourselves, letting the day's chaos fade. Then, through guided exercises and thoughtful prompts, we'll explore the hidden barriers that keep us from the balance and well-being we crave. This is more than a gathering; it's a sanctuary where vulnerability is cherished, and your story is held with the utmost care. This is a time to reconnect with yourself through nature, creativity, and being in community with likeminded women.
Tea Ceremony: Exploring Mindfulness
Immerse yourself in the serene world of the tea ceremony. More than just a warm bowl and flavorful drink, it's a journey of mindfulness.
Every detail, from the delicate clinking of bowls to the fragrant rising of steam, is an invitation to presence. Discover the intentional movements, the heightened senses, and the tranquil atmosphere that make this ancient ritual a powerful practice for finding calm in our busy lives.
This experience is designed to facilitate an exploration of mindfulness. If you long to slow down, savor more, stress less, and mindfulness has felt elusive, or you are experienced in mindfulness and want to try tea ceremony as a new way to experience a sense of presence and focus, please join us.
The tea ceremony will be led by Boulder Tea Hut chajin, Greg Fellman, followed by a facilitated discussion on mindfulness by Heather Carlson.
This gathering is joyfully offered to you in partnership with the Boulder Tea Hut, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to bringing reverence and mindfulness through Tea Ceremony.
Open to All Genders, and Ages 18+

Fireside Women’s Circle Fall Equinox Event
The transition away from the abundance and playfulness of summer is marked by the Fall Equinox. As we enter into the season of letting go—the trees shed their leaves, blooms shrink on stems, and fruit falls from branches, we know a season of reflection is upon us. We will consider in this evening together what this year brought us. And ponder what can we let go of that no longer serves us.
Nature Mandala Mindfulness: A Morning at Artemis Flower Farm
Spend three peaceful hours on a flower farm foraging for natural objects and picking flowers to create your own nature mandala—a practice in mindfulness.
All too often, mindfulness is something people think they have to be sitting on a cushion with their eyes closed to experience and practice. This workshop will be taught in nature's classroom, which is designed to show you how easily you can incorporate mindfulness into your daily life (no cushion sitting involved!)
If you struggle with chronic busyness, are "always on the move," or are uncomfortable with solitude and stillness, and slowing down is hard—this is the workshop for you. (Or if you just need some time away from responsibilities in a natural setting!)
This experience is joyfully offered in partnership with Artemis Flower Farm.

Burning In - Spark Your Inner Flame for the New Year An Evening of Yoga & Vision Boarding
The marking of the new year offers a naturally occurring transition every twelve months. In the hubbub of the holidays, it is easy to pass this meaningful time and move right into the new year without slowing down. However, when we intentionally engage in times of transition, we take advantage of the opportunities they present to pause and reflect on the past, take stock, and envision what we want ahead. Transitions are invitations to Burn In, tend your inner fire, and pay attention to the path that alights when your fire burns brightly.
Using the mind-body practice of yoga to ground us into the present moment, followed by the technique of art collage, we dedicate time and space to intentional reflection on what we envision incorporating into the year ahead, including new goals, states of mind, and states of being.
This experience is joyfully offered in partnership with The Little Yoga Studio.
Participation in the New Year Vision Boarding Evening includes:
Guided Meditation
50-minute Gentle Yoga Flow Class
All supplies needed for your vision board
Location: The Little Yoga Studio
Open to All Genders and Ages 18 to Infinity
Fireside Women’s Circle: Setting Intentions for a Joyful Holiday
As the caretakers of emotional connection, ritual, and tradition, the holiday season can be overwhelming for many women instead of joyful. This special evening provides the time and space to reflect on what is most important and to set intentions for a less hectic and more harmonious holiday season.
