We were so happy to support our friends at The Evans Home for Children with a staff workplace training!

We're also very excited about this Saturday's Flutterby Fairy Festival, happening at Willow Grove Farm! And not just because we're hosting a 30 minute Fairy Tai Chi class! ☯️🧚‍♀️

This event is a magical day of fun - and vendors, a costume contest, laughter yoga, beautiful scenery, a unicorn, and a chance to support The Evans Home. Please join us!!
(And yes - we're still teaching our regular Saturday morning classes this year, AND starting a brand new class - Family-style Tai Chi - for the kids! We'll head to the farm to turn into Fairies after classes wrap up!) ☯️❤️🧘🧚‍♀️

A huge thank you to MoveMentation for providing an amazing training for our staff at the Evans Home yesterday!

During the training, our team learned Qigong techniques focused on breathing, calming, mindfulness, and energy shifting. These practical skills will help our staff better manage stress and will provide new tools to support the emotional well-being of the children in our care.

We are grateful for the opportunity to learn techniques that can benefit both our team and the young people we serve every day.

If you'd like to experience Movementation for yourself, be sure to catch their Fairy Tai Chi session at the Flutterby Fairy Festival this Saturday at 2:30 PM. It promises to be a magical and relaxing experience! ✨🧚‍♀️

This ongoing Women's Qigong Group is for those women (18+, please!) who want to deepen their connection with themselves, physically, energetically, and mentally, while also forming and deepening connections with other powerful women. (That's ALL women!!)

Attendees can expect a group that flows from connection and conversation to movement and back again during each session. Various Qigong movements and sets will be utilized, and all mobility levels are welcome. The only requirement for attending is an open mind!

Classes are now being held in alignment with Healthy Families of the Northern Shenandoah Valley and are located at: 301 N Cameron St Wi******er VA, inside of Healthy Families lovely space. We welcome you to join us there every Monday evening at 5:30pm.

Donations are graciously accepted but not required. MoveMentation is a nonprofit organization that values your presence and participation as an equal energy exchange.

Happy June, friends! This month, we officially enter the season of Summer! This year, that shift can feel BIG, as we're in the midst of the Year of the Fire Horse. That movement into the summer season of the Fire Element asks us to remain well grounded (and tapped into the wisdom of our Water Element) to balance the expansive energies of Fire and summer.

To help with that grounding we are all in need of, please feel welcome to join us at any of our following June offerings! All of our classes are donation-based, and all class details may be found on our website here: https://movementation.org/classes-%26-events

We spent this morning at Wi******er Parks and Rec at their Swim & Summer Safety event! We had fun promoting our upcoming family-style tai chi class - which is really a kids class, but they need to have a participating adult attend with them.

We were too busy having fun to take pictures, but Adrian's unicorn ducks had fun being "tea" in children's hands as she taught them the qigong movement "Buddha's attendant serves tea" - and almost no one dropped the duck!

Wondering what we're talking about?! Join us next Saturday, June 6th at First Presbyterian Church at 12:15pm for our first Family-style Tai Chi class! (We're also hosting our other classes that morning, AND doing Fairy Tai Chi at the Flutterby Fairy Festival!

We also had fun spending a few minutes with our supportive friends at Lykens Chiropractic, Inc. this morning! We're grateful for all of the people and businesses that help support us! ☯️❤️🧘

05/29/2026

If you're not doing anything Saturday morning (since your favorite way to spend your Saturday mornings isn't hosting any tai chi or qigong classes tomorrow...), please feel free to join us here!

https://facebook.com/events/s/family-wellness-water-safety-e/1602876210978067/

We'll be encouraging you to join us in getting some movement in, and promoting our upcoming class Family-style Tai Chi - for the kids! Come meet - and move - with us! ☯️❤️🧘

We'd like to talk to you about our upcoming FUN-raiser! We're also hopeful to raise some FUNDS for ourselves (we've got space needs we're needing to fund!).

One comment we hear a lot in the nonprofit world is "all fundraisers are so similar - they're either a gala-type or a race!" So we'd like to present OUR type of FUN - which means this will not be your average fundraiser!

Our focus is on MOVEMENT, so our FUN-raiser will also focus on movement - physical and energetic!

Lyle Wilson will be holding an incredibly grounding Qigong class to kick things off.

Later, John Ferguson will be providing a wonderful sound healing experience with his Tibetan singing bowls.

To wrap up the evening, Adrian will connect us to ourselves and one another and lead a twilight tai chi class beneath the twinkly lights!

In between all of that fun, we'll also have games (with prizes!), a raffle for various items (including a day spent Waterfall Wandering with Adrian! AND a 5-Element Red Light Therapy session), a pot-luck style meal, an opportunity to meet some of the animals that call Willow Grove Farm home, and time to simply sit, relax, and watch the lake. 😍

Planning to join the FUN?! Please RSVP here: https://movementation.org/fun-raiser and let us know you'll be attending! Also please let us know if you'd prefer a traditional cupcake, a gluten free one, or a sugar free one! (Cuz that is currently our MOST important question! 😂)

And did we mention the entire evening is DONATION BASED?! That's right - we decided not to set a ticket price because we want EVERYONE that wants to be there to be able to attend! We're hoping you'll be as generous as you feel comfortable being, but we're really wanting you to join us for a fun evening!

Come meditate and move - and raise some funds to help support MoveMentation - with us! We are so, so grateful to all of our supporters, and we're very hopeful that you'll all be at our FUN-raiser on Saturday, July 11th from 5-9pm at Willow Grove Farm! ☯️❤️🧘
