Hey gang! A couple things: 1) While researching, I listened to Well Now Podcast. Meet an artist who broke her back and supported her healing with sound, a doctor who studies how stress affects the next generation, and an expert in forest bathing who describes the healing benefits of being surrounded by nature. When to Let It Go (Stress) 42 mins https://www.saje.com/ca/well-now-podcast-season2-stress.html 2) 12 tickets pre-sold already! Show up and take your chances with seating. Or, secure a seat by purchasing a ticket in advance. https://bit.ly/ProbynArt_ThedaTix I'm really looking forward. So grateful we can enjoy this nourishing experience together. Happy Friday! Jxo

I hope you have your ticket. If interested, now is the time. There are only 5 tickets remaining! If you are unable to purchase, please email me at [email protected] and I'll add you to the waitlist. I plan to do another seating review today and may buy a couple more chairs, if possible. I really appreciate my Buddytree tribe and sincerely wish all who would like to experience this special day may! Tickets https://bit.ly/ProbynArt_ThedaTix

Hi Joanne, I just checked that link and it looks like tickets are now sold out. So just to confirm, does that mean that if we don't have tickets we should cancel our RSVP?

Is anyone interested in going to the nearby pub afterwards? I believe it's called Strange Fellows Brewing: https://maps.app.goo.gl/GfjvcSzbSN9uyWs3A (Please reply directly to this comment to avoid a reply-all)

Hello. Very sorry, but it looks like I won't be making this event. I had shoulder reconstruction surgery on Monday. I was hoping I'd feel well enough by now to attend and enjoy the therapeutic benefits. As it is, I'm still in a sling and not quite sure how I'll fare sitting in certain positions for an extended period of time. Hope everyone has a wonderful time!

Ouch - sorry to hear that Adrian :( I hope you heal up soon.

Hi folks, 30 tickets sold! I hope you bought yours. If not, I recommend coming anyway to see what’s available. We are at seating capacity. I might be able to round up a 1-2 more chairs. Plus, there may be a few floor spots. You might really enjoy getting cozy with a pillow/blanket on floor. There may be a couple available chairs as 3 people cancelled. No refunds so it’s hard to know the details. I’ll know when I see the space, but I suspect 40 people will be the max. I recommend a group commit to touring the art studios then go to Strange Fellows to chat after. If you want to attend the bath, I’ll do my best to accommodate. There’s a Eventbrite waitlist. Glen were you offered that option? Did you add your name?

UPDATE! :) Someone just commented on Facebook that they have 4 tickets for sale. I am very busy preparing for the event and don't have time to facilitate a transaction. This means that I'm aware there *may* be up to 7 seats free, plus an additional 1-2 if I hustle to find one or two more chairs. I'd say your odds are looking quite good for showing up with no ticket, unless said people sell those tickets. Theda is very popular with a loyal following! Fingers crossed for my Buddytree fam! Hope to see you soon. Jxo

Joanne, Went to this site just before I was getting ready to come. Looks like it's more like a 50/50 chance of getting the ticket. I think I'm going to pass this time then. Yes, I've been to a couple of Gong sound bath meditation session. Definitely sound waves could do amazing things to parts of our brains and facilitate wonders within us. I'll Be wiser next time to buy tickets for your events beforehand in the future.
