and flowers everywhere - potluck & positive workout Sunday May 22

WE’RE SWITCHING IT UP, LADIES!!

This month of rebirth and blossoming, we’ll be meeting to shake our booties, polish up our attitudes, and get some hang out time, too.  And did I mention the luxurious potluck fare???

My friend and amazing group exercise leader, Elizabeth, will be hosting us and sharing a very special form of aerobics exercise that I’ve been doing almost a year now.  Intensati has been deeply transformative for me, and I’ve been wanting to find a way to bring it to this community!!  So here we are. 

WHEN: MAY 22ND, SUNDAY
4pm Intensati blast with Elizabeth (all bodies, fitness levels welcome)
530pm Potluck at Elizabeth’s home in Hell’s Kitchen (midtown W.)

RSVP to me directly, robyn.rubenstein@gmail.com, and I will provide you with the exact meeting location

 What is Intensati???  A high energy aerobics class that combines easy dance-based choreography with some yoga and martial arts movement. what makes it such an incredible workout and different from anything that most of you have done before is that there is a vocal element involved. you will be invited to speak positive affirmations and thoughts out loud while exercising. as strange as that may sound to some of you, it makes the physical workout itself much stronger, you will burn more calories and increase your cardiovascular strength. the bigger and better effect of the workout happens on your attitude and spirit, though. you will leave class uplifted and with more belief in yourself than you had before. it's a wonderful experience and i hope to see you all there! 
 strengthen your body as well as your spirit!! 

What to wear and bring: Wear workout clothes and workout shoes, bring a towel and water. No other equipment needed except a willingness to give yourself a chance to live the life you love in a body you love!
For the potluck, please bring a vegetarian dish to share for 5-7 people.

NYC Red Tent Temple - April 30

Dear Sister-Goddess,

We welcome you to the Red Tent Temple*.

First we want to thank Deb, Ruth, and Hope for coming to our April 2nd Red Tent Temple. It was wonderful to meet you and share time and stories. We hope you found the Red Tent Temple welcoming and nurturing. We hope you will come again.

Now to announce the next Red Tent Temple*:

It will be on Saturday, April 30.
Doors will open at 5 p.m.
There will be introductions, a meditation and sharing time beginning at 8:00PM

Please RSVP for the address of our Manhattan location.

When you RSVP please tell us what you plan to bring for the potluck. It can be cheese, chips, fruit, chocolates, or red-tinged beverage (wine, hibiscus tea, pomegranate juice!).

Since it is April 30 is May Eve - Let us celebrate Spring and being together by bringing flowers that we can share. We all like taking flowers home, bringing Spring into our homes. Sharing flowers is tradition of May Day that I remember from my childhood.

Please bring an offering of your choice: candles, body glitter, bindis, temporary tattoos, spare jewelry and other inspired adornments, instruments you want to play...and your loving hearts! Don't forget to RSVP so we can stock the table for a delectable evening.
We are still looking for large floor pillows, red/purple/pink blankets or afgans, to make our space cozy and comfortable for everyone. We are also looking for contributions of goddess-themed tunes/cds, books and wall art, fancy fabric, shawls and scarves.

Come on April 30, bedecked in all your womanly glory: red/purple/fushia/dark pink/burgundy (colors suggested but by no means required).

Please forward this email to any of your friends that might be interested in sharing love woman space with others.

For more information and to RSVP contact
Carolyn at parismalcolm464@aol.com or
Ramona at whole.wellness@gmail.com.


With sweet and tender blessings,
NYC Red Tent Temple

 *The Red Tent Temple Mission

Red Tent Temple is more than a women's circle. Rooted in radical self care, it is a group process of shifting from busy into the beauty of the moment. Diving into the luxury of intentional womanspace, together we will weave a collective tapestry of the sacred feminine in the heart of NYC.

Whether you desire rest and the peaceful embrace of our healing sanctum, an opportunity to share laughter and tears, a glass of wine, good food and inspiring music, or an excuse to wear body glitter, join us in honoring ourselves and our sisterhood. Red Tent Temple is open each month from 5-10 p.m. on the Saturday nearest the new moon.
