This summer’s community weaving at Tinker Studio, “Centering”, is off to an amazing start thanks to many lovely people who have contributed so far! We’ve had visitors from all over Michigan, Georgia, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Illinois, Washington, Maryland, Tennessee, Canada 🇨🇦 and England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿!
So many beautiful themes have emerged when we asked “what centers you?”… family, making things, gardening, religion, pets, the beach, friends, music, goals, nature & trees, yoga & meditation, reading and mindful breathing! Please make sure you add a piece to our weaving when you visit Tinker Studio this summer and share what centers YOU!

🧘‍♀️ ☀️ Save the Dates! ☀️ 🧘
Yoga begins in June!
This is your invitation to join Elizabeth from Tinker Studio for an exploration of the seven chakras - wheels of energy in our bodies - under the covered patio at Seven Hills.

Come enjoy an approachable
slow-flow class designed to center you
from base to crown.

Each class concludes with a mini-sound bath washing over you as you relax
in the peaceful morning sounds
of birdsong & wind through the trees.

Leave feeling balanced and refreshed, and with a special gift to help you remember your practice and connect with your chakras when you need them most.

After class, you’re invited to linger for a dreamy weekend morning
on the Seven Hills campus...
Enjoy a nutritious brunch at Right Bower
& a morning mocktail (or mimosa) at Old Mission Distilling before browsing local art at Tinker Studio.
