Hello Bodyworkers,
My meeting summaries are usually short but this is a lengthy one because there is a lot going on. Please read the entire email because it will answer questions you have asked.
1) Kimberly Fisher hosted our annual February meeting on Feb 17 - thanks Kimberly!
Kaia Van Natta (https://www.whitefishwellness.com) will host our May 19 meeting - thanks Kaia! I will send out a notice at the beginning of May. This meeting will be right before the Summer rush so perhaps we can use it to fortify, ground, and support ourselves. Maybe a 1 minute meditation, snacks to share, your favorite self care idea, etc.
Our meetings are on the 3rd Thursday of February, May, and October from 6-8 pm. The only thing that changes is the location so you can add these to your calendar today!
2) http://www.flatheadbodyworkers.com domain is up for renewal at the end of 2022. We decided not to renew it unless more people participate in the directory space that Kaia so kindly made available to us. Our group expressed an interest in creating a directory of wellness practitioners in the Flathead Valley so Kaia created this website. It is a great deal at $50/year - you get ad space, blog space, and a private forum for those listed in the directory. Since it is not tied to a social media platform (such as Facebook) it is accessible to all and should have longevity and not be controversial.
There are currently a handful of practitioners listed - look at the variety of ways you can advertise. If you want to participate give Kaia Van Natta $50 (check payable to Whitefish Wellness, 913 Wisconsin Avenue #103, Whitefish, MT 59937), or PayPal (@whitefishwellness), or cash always works! Give her the info you want displayed. This info can be a 3" x 8" ad/banner you've already prepared or the usual contact info (your name, business name, phone number, email address, website to link to, logo, services offered, etc.). Contact Kaia with questions (whitefishwellness@gmail.com or 406-212-9014).
Also, BUSINESS OWNERS - PLEASE LINK TO THIS WEBSITE!
