This year, our birthday means something a little different.
On September 19th, we’ll gather at Boesel Farm for our birthday donation class. But this year, what we raise will go toward something very close to our studio family.
Our instructor Melissa’s son, Christopher, passed on last year.
In his memory his foundation, The Christopher Ryan Foundation, is creating a place for people and families walking through grief… with community, resources, remembrance, and the simple understanding that grief isn’t something we have to carry alone.
That is very much something we believe at Raw Emerald, too.
So we’re going to celebrate another year of this little studio by showing up for one of our own and others who are dealing with similar life changes as Melissa and her family.
September 19 • 9:30 AM • Boesel Farm
Suggested donation is $20, but truly… give what you can. More or less.
We’ll also have door prizes, a raffle, time to enjoy the farm, and hopefully a really beautiful morning together.
Because community is more than practicing in the same room.
Sometimes it’s helping each other carry what’s heavy.
Because... Christopher. 💙
