WOW - We just spend an amazing two weeks in North Carolina at the Hoop Convergence, and beyond. Our first night there, we were blessed to stay at Pickard's Mountain Eco-Institute, a beautiful 350 acre organic farm/ green living sanctuary run by Tim and Megan Toben. Their little girl, Kaya, is about Spencer's age and the two kids had a great time playing together, too.
From there, we went to the Hoop Convergence which was five days of hooping bliss! Amazing hoopers from all over the country gathered together at the Convergence to teach classes, share information, learn from each other, and of course rock their hoops. I was in awe of the amazing talent, and the sweet community of people that are creating and leading the hoop revival. I feel really blessed to be a part of a movement that is more than just an exercise trend (which some people think hooping is). For me now, it's really a lifestyle choice! And, it's great to meet a whole culture of people to whom hooping is just as important.
Much love goes out to Jewels, Spiral, Ali Cat, and Caroleena for organizing the event, to Anah from San Fran for pioneering a whole new way for hoopers, to Revolva for her incredible hooping journaling workshop, to AlleyOop for rockin' the multiple hoops and being so brave and real, to Stephan for being so fun and for editing the footage Kevin too, to Erica from Hooperville for superfun collobarations, to Jessie for being our little transportation angel, to Bonnie for being at rockin' hoop mama and making us laugh, to Michelle for all her bounciness, to Marria and Ammon for incredible partnering ideas, to Laura and Ariana for their awesome LED hoop, and to everyone else who I can't name right now for inspiring me by rockin' the hoop with love.
