Dogwood Studio’s first Service Class supports Healing Pines Respite

Dogwood Studio is proud to start our pay what you can Service Classes by supporting Healing Pines Respite.  Healing Pines Respite is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that provides respites for women throughout North Carolina currently in cancer treatment and up to two years post-treatment. They grant space to tune into their healing journey with rest, connection and nature. They promote shifting the priority from merely surviving to living well so women with cancer can heal mind, body, and spirit. When women thrive, it has a ripple effect on their families and communities.

100% of the proceeds from the November 14th class will be donated to Healing Pines Respite. Sam will lead the all level community building gentle yoga class. No prior yoga experience is needed. Sign up and donate to this wonderful cause using Dogwood’s Ribbon Page. 

When we do selfless service, we to learn humility and surrender to the universal consciousness. In a practical sense, service is volunteering. However, in yogic terms, service is approached with pure love and avoiding thoughts of personal reward. The goal of service is to restore meaning to one who is suffering and promotes connection. Dr Stephen Post suggests everyone volunteer 100 hours a year as a means to maintain mental health. Research suggests that individual health and social benefits seem to correlate to those who volunteer without any selfish intentions
