Happy Autumn Buffalo! 🍂 Here we are in that perfect pocket of seasonal change, where the sunshine beams reminders there is still light and warmth even as the days shorten. As I organize these newsletters each month and time ticks by, things that seems far off are suddenly here and things that were a long time coming have passed. It is hard to believe we are already into fall. What a wild ride this all is. October offers many opportunities to be together in proactive learning and support. Programming supporting our children as they come into their own shifts- from the season of littles to that of teens is here in the form of Girl Talk and Navigating Law of Attraction- both addressing the changes & joys of (and normalizing discourse around) coming into sexuality. This feels especially important in the currently climate and we are thrilled to have the amazing Eileen Stewart facilitating these conversations. New practitioners with new offerings expand our container here with mental health (a long overdue component of care we have been waiting for!) An eco conscious cloth diapering workshop, mini grief retreat, our open house and an upcoming LMT perinatal massage training are packed in the folds of this first newsletter of Autumn 🍂🍁 We're grateful for all that continues to grow within our community and can't wait to spend the season with you. ❤️🧡💛🤎
