Humble Warrior Wellness & Yoga, Inc

During the summer months, The Sip ’n Read Sisters Book Club gathers to share what they are individually reading. ☀️There is no book assigned.☀️

You’re invited to connect and share what you’re going to read this summer! Club members have enjoyed these summer sessions to build their personal reading list. Join us the second Tuesday of the summer months:

Tuesday, June 9, 7–8 p.m. ET
Tuesday, July 14, 7–8 p.m. ET
Tuesday, August 11, 7–8 p.m. ET

The Sip 'n Read Sisters is Humble Warrior Wellness & Yoga, Inc's virtual book club and a lovely community of women readers.

You may be wondering, why should I join a book club? Book clubs offer more than simply reading a book. Research consistently shows that shared reading experiences can:

👭 Strengthen social connection and reduce feelings of isolation
🤔 Expand perspectives through thoughtful dialogue
💭 Improve cognitive engagement and lifelong learning
📖 Create accountability that helps busy readers finish books they truly want to read

Simply put, stories are powerful, but stories shared in community are transformational. Consider joining a book club—whether it's the Sip 'n Read Sisters or another club—to boost your well-being and reading.

If you can't attend the Rooted & Rising Retreat in June, mark your calendars for our Annual Gratitude Walk on October 17! Women veterans and first responders are invited to this day of connection and renewal. It will take place in Georgia; the exact location will be announced soon.

May we always remember and honor those that made the ultimate sacrifice while serving to protect and defend our nation. On Memorial Day, please take a moment of reflection and gratitude for their sacrifice and our freedoms. 🇺🇸

Thankful for a meaningful evening at the VETLANTA Q2 Summit alongside our newest board member, Jonnie Moeller. 🇺🇸

Humble Warrior Wellness & Yoga, Inc. enjoyed having an interactive presence where we connected with veterans, veteran-supportive community members, and fellow VSOs while sharing wellness resources and conversation around resilience and well-being.

We’re grateful to VETLANTA and UPS for our hosting such a welcoming and impactful event.

We're incredibly grateful to have received TWO grants recently! 🤗

The Tanner Paull Post 120 American Legion of Wisconsin provided a grant to fund our programs for women veterans. The McLeroy Family Giving Fund provided a grant that allowed us to attend a conference for women state troopers and public safety professionals, where we provided wellness education and copies of Dial Down: Holistic Strategies to Move from Chaos to Calm to each participant.

Dé, our Director of Outreach, says, “We know holistic wellness does not happen in isolation. These grants help us continue creating spaces where women veterans and first responders can reconnect with themselves, with one another, and with practices that support regenerative community.”

Jonnie, a first responder and Humble Warrior's Secretary, says, "Self-care is an essential practice for our women veterans and first responders to ensure that they are ready for duty and able to withstand the rigorous demands placed upon them. These generous grants and community partnerships allow us to bring these wellness initiatives to life for our women who serve."

We are proud to receive this impactful funding to provide connection and holistic wellness to women who serve. A very big thank you to the American Legion for their continued support, and to the generosity of the McLeroy Family Giving Fund!

As we head into the summer, surely many vacations are planned. ☀️⛱️ While vacations are often meant for relaxation, the commotion of planning, traveling, and navigating can make them stressful. In this blog post from last year, Raquel Durden shares ways to wind down and weave in wellness into your vacations: https://humblewarrior.org/blog/f/weaving-wellness-into-our-days-vacations-a-march-reset
