TTAware Solstice Pop-up and NEW Retore Wednesdays!
June 3, 2026
Hi Everyone, hope you are well.🤗
June brings a change of seasons and some pause, consideration We are halfway through the year. WOW! ... What must be done today to promote balance, clarity and purpose? Hmmm, While you give that a think, there are Studio updates, plus something new in the online sessions. Feel free to forward this newsletter to like minded friends and interested folk.
Kicking off with a moment of gratitude, much to reflect on as May was hard and peaceful at the same time. My Mom passed peacefully in May after her Parkinson's took a sharp turn. Three weeks of Hospice was enough for a parade of family and some fun afternoons watching South Pacific and napping thru Fiddler on the Roof. She is missed, beloved and left such a legacy of kindness. 🥰 This community, both working in it and being supported by it, is such a gift.
Personal interactions are lifeblood to a startup. TTAware continues to surprise me with magnificent sessions/pairings and encouraging comments after online workshops. Google Reviews, pop-up referrals and amazing shout outs on LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook encourage me forward. Thanks for helping overextended professionals, people in transition or grief and those in need of self-care find me. 💓 Really fond of the likes, comments and general interaction. While Likes are not self worth, it is nice to see friends enjoying a reflection, insight or something created. Quick replies to cheeky, informative newsletters count too. 😉 XOXO TT

Been thinking about what June needs. May was full of so much. Studio sessions are booking into July. Interest in expanding collaborations and pop ups are coming along and later in the month I'm collaborating on an Instagram Live exchange on what it is like to reframe yourself as you change professions and serve the same people. (Its evolution, baby. 🙂) In casual conversations this month I kept hearing from people who wanted to work with me but couldn't figure out a full session, or truthfully wanted a way to try in an easy, more accessible way. "I need something a little different. Something I can do between Zoom calls or before bed."
Welcome to June Restore Wednesdays. An evolution of the East/West Restore. Yes am still partnering with the talented Dana Phelan for Yin yoga. As Summer breaks I'm trying new things too...
Restore Wednesdays is a three-week series in June where each Wednesday offers something different—both in what it addresses and when it happens. Because I get it: 4:30pm doesn't work for everyone. Neither does 10am. So it's offering three different times across three different practices.Will learn together about times and modalities and switch it up a bit in July with new
Why these three specific practices? Different takes speak to folks in individualized ways.
💆 June 10th: Meditation & Release
It's for everyone with something looping in their minds or settling in your body. A stressful conversation that's replaying. Tension you physically hold. Emotions you've been mis-managing instead of feeling. We will meditate first—creating space—then I work with you to release what is spent or that which no longer serves you. Vibration of sound bowls begin and end the session. It's gentle, first comer friendly, not forced. You just show up and let the practice do the work. You need: Comfy spot in your space, water or tea and possibly a candle for during the practice and a journal for after. Then finish up your day or dinner with a little more to give.
🧘 June 17th: Yoga Nidra and Visualization Meditation collaboration with guest Lucy Rockwell
I'm bringing in my friend Lucy because she's brilliant and has such a deep, good vibe. If you've been to Golden Hour Retreat Spa in the last 15 years, or caught a Baja Yoga retreat in January you will recognize her. Yoga Nidra is "yoga's gift to the nervous system." Our collaboration is a guided practice taking you to that lovely spot right before sleep—where your conscious mind is quiet but your subconscious is still listening. You're not doing anything. Simply lying there while our guidance moves you deeper into rest. If you've been running on an elixir of adrenaline, cortisol and caffeine, this is the reset you need. Bring tea, Mat, Blanket, yoga props for comfort. Have no plans after. Zzzzzzz.
❤️🔥 June 24th: Exploring Self - Grounding Meditation & Reiki Channeling
This is the intuitive work I do based on the Chakra system— insight into what grounds you or what you need. Working with metaphorical color and concepts to explore aspects of self - our individual gifts, our way of being in the world, our communication, our heart, the energy we need for self, the energy we exchange in relationships or community, the practices that root us. It's nested in a grounding meditation, so you are already anchored. Everything is positive and approachable, no experience needed. You will need a soft spot. Pillow and blanket optional. Tea or water and a journal might be nice. You will tap back into your day refreshed.
The whole idea:
You pick whichever Wednesday(s) work for your schedule and show up for something that takes 60-90 minutes. $30 each. Or do all three for $60. Some will come once solo. Some will grab a friend to do the series. Some will use these as stepping stones to studio sessions. All of that is super cool. The goal is: give people access to restoration in whatever form they need it.

NEW Offerings for couples, friends, large groups and Reiki Shares for practitioners. Descriptions will be up on my website later this month. Ping in to talk in the meantime.
What I'm noticing:
People want restoration that fits into their actual lives, 10 min outside, or a daily meditation or sessions.. They want choices and tools. They want community (including logging on to a group workshop with other people seeking the same thing). .Restore Wednesdays and the Solstice pop-ups are all of that. Sign up for what works for you. Bring a blanket. Show up as you are—you don't have to be "ready" in any way. Be willing to receive, to let yourself be reset, restored, capable and possibly with a different perspective on priorities.
Be well — Theresa

P.S. Support Solo Entrepreneurs
If TTAware's work resonates with you, there are four ways you can help me reach more people:
🛜 Leave a Google Review — Search "TTAware Portland" and share your experience. This is how people find me.
🤗 Refer someone who needs this — Know someone navigating burnout, transition, or grief? Running too hard at Grit and Grind? Send them my way. That's how my work reaches the people it's meant for.
🤝 Introduce me to your HR or wellness team — If your company offers employee wellness programs, I can facilitate workshops or retreats. A simple intro is all I need.
🪷 Connect me with community — Yoga studios, wellness centers, retreat organizers, community groups—if you know someone building something I could collaborate with, I'd love an introduction.
You don't need to do all four. One or two makes a real difference for a solo entrepreneur. 🙏🫶
