Hey world! Yes, I have been woefully neglectful of my Think Somatics FB page. It’s been a bit of a whirlwind the last, oh I don’t know, 5 years.
There was that pandemic, so I started teaching online, which I was already doing, but now it was across the board.
Then we remodeled our PDX home, sold it, and moved across the country from PDX to Asheville. During a pandemic.
Everyone and their dog was trying to buy a house when we arrive, so with a large dog we found a house to rent. No easy task!
A year later of spending pretty much every weekend traipsing across WNC, looking for a house of our own, we found one thankfully a shorter distance, to lovely Waynesville NC!
Within weeks of moving in our large, sweet doggie died. She was our angel and she got us through so much, but she was needed somewhere else, we guess, and I cry just writing this. . . but I digress.
I had no studio space so I set up shop in our living room. . . then I got a space at the local yoga center, which then decided closed.
Then Hurricane Helene hit. Yes, a hurricane. In the mountains! We personally were safe and lost nothing, but we went into hyperdrive volunteer mode!
I found a temporary rental space. . .
Then an opportunity to move into a studio space in the Folkmoot Center in Waynesville came along, so here I am! My fellow creatives, movement teachers, musicians, the board and staff are such lovely people!
First order of business: I’ve been busy painting and made curtains to cover the vintage-but-not-in-a-good-way wood panelling. Ick. The space needs some color pops and such. I have a ton if ideas, but throw me some of yours in the comments. :-)
I am so excited and feel this is the place to settle in and ramp up more offerings. Stay tuned!
