Studio Purple Happenings, week of May 4th

Hello Studio Purple Friends!

It was wonderful to have the chance to celebrate May Day together in our small groups this week. While we didn’t dance through the sculpture park, we did sing our May Day song together and even got to top it all off with a little treat! Kyla shared with us that she was going to deliver baskets of flowers to her neighbors’ doors and many of you brought branches of snowy May to our meeting. Then we spent some time feeling our stones and thinking about hope. You had some beautiful ideas to share about hope. We’ve captured some of that here for you to enjoy.  Take a peek!

With a hug,
Wendy & DJ
