Donation-Based Classes for Ukrainian Children
I've been in touch with so many of you who are doing your very best to get through it all that's going on in the world right now - and I'm still working my way through the inbox. I'm sending love, strength, and grace to everyone as we navigate these days.
On Thursday we had such a beautiful session with the children that gave grown-ups some breathing room while supporting the children.
Our Attune & Bloom membership has a couple of awesome classes this weekend and we figured we could do something good for the grown-ups in the community and for the children of Ukraine this weekend.
So we're opening up our Attune & Bloom classes to the community and we're making them donation-based.
All donations will be going to Voices of Children, an organization that helps children affected by war in Ukraine. We'll share all of the donations transparently and make the donation in the name of our entire community.
We connected with Ukrainian friends and did our very best to the vet the organization and ensure they have a long-term reputable and transparent track record. If you have additional information or context, please let us know.
You can donate whatever you can! Village will be kicking things off with a $200 donation to Voices of Children too.
Here's the class schedule:
