Restful Rebel ~ February 2025 Offerings
A focus on building warmth and connections.
Hi Friends! I’m trying out a new format for announcing breathwork and restful opportunities with me. This newsletter is called Restful Rebel, and it’s now nestled neatly within my main Substack publication, Going Rogue.
What’s the difference, you ask?
Restful Rebel is a no-frills monthly update of upcoming classes, workshops, retreats, events, and gatherings. It’s a short format with direct links to more detailed information and booking pages.
Going Rogue is curated monthly musings on current topics of interest that support wellbeing, slow living, uplifting practices, time in nature, and creativity. There’s an additional option to upgrade your subscription for additional access to thematic deeper dives, post commenting, and a monthly meditation.
Now, on to what’s coming up!
