Time for a little mingling
Luminous & Grounded co-hosts a pottery class!
Roll up your sleeves, we're getting creative!
Not sure about you, but the last time I had the need for a kiln was in the early 90's. The opportunity to play with clay came along recently, coinciding with my immersion in the celebrated novel Good Dirt, which only further confirmed we were on the right path. Thank you, synchronicity!
It got me thinking: Adults need art classes, too! Somewhere between dishes and deadlines we forgot how to play, but artistic endeavors help us remember. I'm declaring 2026 the year to reclaim this version of playtime (Retreat 2026 plug: There will be art projects!). Let's not wait until September though, let's play now!
We're going to mix and mingle with the communities of Be Well - Wellness and Women of Wellness over at this charming facility called The Grounds of Livev (only natural The Grounds and Luminous and Grounded would eventually find each other). Keep scrolling for more details on our private event: Clay, Connection & a Little Heart.
Two hearts đź©·đź©· My favorite part
My favorite part about this workshop is that we're not just making one piece of pottery, we're making two. And if you've been following me for a while, you know I don't like to leave out my clients in other parts of the globe. As much as I'd love for you to be here, I know it's not practical. So all I can do is encourage you to find a class in your own area and join us in spirit, and --
If you're a client outside of the DMV (if you don't know what the DMV signifies, that's a good indicator that you're outside of the region!), I'd like to gift you my second piece of pottery! To be in the running, find the heart dish photo (as seen below) on my Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/rachelabbett/) and comment on the post with your desire to be the recipient of the One to Keep đź©· One to Gift đź©· heart dish! I'll randomly choose one of you on February 20th!
The rest of you... time to play! Hope to see you there!

Nothing like a week of "snowcrete" to make a person want to get away.

Once you arrive, you won't be asked to lift a finger! If 1993 was the last time you existed in a world where you didn't have to lift a finger (much like the last time I fired pottery in a kiln), it's time!
