Join us for an intentional winter gathering designed to cultivate connection, reduce consumption, and celebrate the beauty of community care. The Winter Sip & Swap invites women to come together to refresh their wardrobes and winter wellness items in a mindful, sustainable way—by exchanging what we no longer need for what our sisters are ready to pass forward.
What to Bring
Participants are encouraged to bring:
-
Gently loved winter clothing
-
Mystical items such as oracle decks, tarot cards, crystals, and spiritual books
-
Winter enrichment items including puzzles, games, craft kits, and other activities that support presence and nourishment during the colder months
All items should be gently used and in good condition.
What to Expect
-
A welcoming space to explore new-to-you items from your community

Two dressing areas with full-length mirrors
-
Warm, cozy, non-alcoholic, vegan/gluten-free friendly beverages crafted to support winter wellness

Space for soft conversation, connection, and shared magic

If you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause and have felt dismissed or overwhelmed, this group is for you. Join Essential Yoga Studio as we host Tiffany of TK Esthetics for a welcoming, non-judgmental space where women can share experiences, learn practical strategies to support their bodies, and build a community of understanding and encouragement. We’ll share resources, discuss relevant topics, and occasionally hear from guest speakers on menopause-related health.
