And remember, if you refer The Joy List to some pals, you can get free event tickets, valuing up to $90!

PS. If you click ‘listen online’ at the top of the email, you should be able to hear it being read out loud. Let me know if this works. It’s a new feature I’m trying out to make the newsletter more accessible!

Think: projection mapping, somatic movement, your inner child, and a mint green photo-op as a memento to always remember what it felt like to reconnect to yourself in community, confetti & the Fall season.
