Evening Springtime

Mark your calendars for our August discussion of *The Woman in White" by Wilkie Collins!

ABOUT THE BOOK
*The Woman in White* (1859) blends Gothic suspense, psychological intrigue, and social critique, following a young drawing master whose chance encounter with a mysterious woman dressed entirely in white draws him into a labyrinth of deception, hidden identities, and dangerous secrets.

ABOUT THE CLUB
Our club is open to all lovers of literature from the 18th- and 19th-centuries (global literature). We generally meet on the last Sunday of the month, at 5:30pm at Shutesbury Athletic Club, but there is a Zoom link for those who wish to join virtually.

Learn traditional Usui Reiki and get certified as a Reiki Level 1 Practitioner.

Enroll now for Evening Springtime's Level 1 Reiki Certification Training Course, available virtually or in person (in South Deerfield, MA), starting September 1!

The course centers on traditional Usui Reiki and also includes unique elements of the Evening Springtime Reiki experience that you can't get anywhere else.

During the 4-week course, you get a Reiki training manual, weekly lessons in a scaffolded curriculum, video presentations, group discussions, and attend a live weekly session (every Thursday in September from 7-9pm ET) in which we practice distance Reiki together.
The course concludes with an attunement ceremony and celebration, and a certificate.

WHERE HEALERS ARE HELD

Healers of all kinds from all around the Pioneer Valley and Franklin County (and beyond) are invited to attend a monthly healers' circle at noon on the first Sunday of every month. We gather at my Evening Springtime studio in South Deerfield, MA to receive healing energy, share our gifts, and network while we rest and restore.

The circle is free to those who practice the healing arts, such as: Reiki, massage, yoga, art therapy, meditation, mindfulness practices, tai chi, hypnotherapy, accupuncture, psychic arts, shamanic healing, sound healers, and any related modalities that you consider "healing."

This gathering is casual and includes friendly conversation, circle discussion, and at least one focused healing activity.

Feel free to bring a dish, snack, or non-alcoholic drinks to share (though this is not required). There are no dietary restrictions, although some participants may appreciate a list of ingredients in case of sensitivites and allergies.

I look forward to growing this sweet little group of Kindred Spirits! Our very first gathering is September 6.

Express yourself. Move your body. Find your voice.

What happens when poetry begins in the body instead of on the page?

Flo-Etry is an imaginative workshop that blends gentle yoga, intuitive movement, free-form dance, expressive writing, and spoken word into one deeply nourishing creative experience. Through mindful movement, breath, and playful prompts, you'll quiet the inner critic and awaken the creative current already flowing within you.

Rather than striving for perfect poetry or perfect movement, this gathering invites authentic expression. Intuitive flow helps loosen what words sometimes cannot, while writing gives shape to feelings, images, memories, and insights that emerge naturally.

Throughout the session, you'll be guided through accessible somatic practices, creative writing invitations, and opportunities to share (always optional) within a warm and encouraging community.
No writing experience, dance experience, or yoga experience is necessary—only curiosity.

Come reconnect with your inner muse, discover unexpected inspiration, and leave with fresh writing, deeper self-awareness, and the joyful reminder that creativity is something inhabited, not performed.
