w/ Amy Yapp at Revolution Community Yoga in Acton, MA
@ 2 – 4pm in the Mass. Ave. Level Studio
$40 Early registration / $50 day of workshop
Just like yoga, a good book is always better when shared with a group.
Amy invites you to “pull up a bolster” and join her for a heart-opening gathering that blends meaningful conversation with mindful movement and plenty of time for rest and reflection. We’ll begin by diving into an inspiring book discussion and follow it up with a nourishing yoga practice designed to embody and integrate the ideas and themes generated by our conversation.

Meditative Hand Sewing @ RCY
revolution community yoga + fitness workshop
Meditative Hand Sewing ~ Stitch Your Way to Calm
w/ Deepika Prakash
@ Revolution Community Yoga in Acton, MA
Saturday, Jan. 31st • 5 - 7pm
in the Waterfall Room
$40 early reg. • $50 day of workshop
This session invites participants to slowly stitch small squares of fabric together in a rhythmic, mindful way. Once you learn this simple method of creating a nine-patch square—free from decision fatigue—you can simply sew. These squares can later be made into a quilt, sewn on to existing clothes or other projects, mounted as artwork, or simply exist as they are. The act of hand sewing is scientifically shown to lower stress hormones, calm the nervous system, and promote focus and relaxation—especially for those who find it difficult to sit still in traditional meditation. Hand sewing engages both creativity and concentration, helping participants enter a natural state of flow. No prior sewing experience is needed, and all supplies will be provided.

- Mock Caldecott: The books we think are contenders for the Caldecott Medal
- Mock Newbery: The books we think are contenders for the Newbery Medal
- The Fun-decott: Picture books that probably won't receive Caldecott consideration, but are fun and engaging that your students will love.
- The Fun-bery: Chapter books that probably won't receive Newbery consideration, but are fun and engaging that your students will love.
Each program will feature 20 books, and schools, educators, and libraries can get a discount on them when they order either the whole set or most of the whole set (15 of 20). The Mock Caldecott program will also come with a free lesson plan for educators!!!
The unveiling of each list will be on this night, Mock Awards Night, and it will be a celebration in the finest sense. We will be joined by a powerhouse lineup - Aaron Becker, Winsome Bingham, Mary Lee Donovan, and Brian Lies!!!
True West Brewery will be on hand to sell food and drink, and we will have special presentations from authors and illustrators, and a whole lot more! Tickets are $20, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to charity. Buy tickets
