Summer Sip + Swap

Summer SIP & SWAP — Sunday, July 5 | 1:30–3:30 PM | Essential Yoga Studio
This summer, we're gathering for another season of Sip + Swap — a sisterhood tradition rooted in community, conscious resourcing, and the joy of sharing what we love with the women around us.
We'll be sipping on refreshing summer mocktails and light bites while we shop each other's closets, find new treasures, and enjoy the kind of easy, unhurried time together that summer was made for.
The space will be welcoming and relaxed — with plenty of room to browse, try things on, and get real-time feedback from the women around you. Mirrors and two changing spaces will be available so you can make sure everything fits and feels just right before you check out.
How the Sip + Swap Works
☀️ Bring up to 15 gently loved items you'd happily hand to your best friend — think summer clothing, shoes, swimsuits, accessories, books, and spiritual items. Items should be clean, in good working order, and ready for a new home. Please, no lingerie, underwear, or household items.
👧 This gathering is open to women and children. Kids ages 8 and older are invited to participate in the swap with their own gently loved clothes, shoes, hats, accessories, books, and games — up to 15 items each. Children under 8 are warmly welcome to attend alongside you.
🧺 Please bring your clothing items already on hangers. If you'd like your hangers returned at the end of the event, mark them with something uniquely yours — a ribbon, a strip of colorful tape, anything that's easy to spot.
📋 When you arrive, you'll check in and receive a punch card reflecting the number of items you brought. That card is your shopping pass — you'll be able to choose the same number of items from everything that's been contributed. Items are sorted by size for easy browsing.
🛍️ Once the swap opens, you're free to browse, try things on, sip, and mingle at your own pace. This is an intentionally relaxed gathering — linger as long as you like.
Any items left at the end of the event will be donated to local organizations supporting women and children in our community, such as Harmony House and the Junior League of Springfield.
We'll be serving Raspberry Honey Lemonade and Strawberry Basil Splash, along with sparkling water, iced tea, and still water. Light snacks include watermelon, veggies, hummus, and crackers. Everything is vegan and gluten-free.
🕯️ Sensory note: This experience is designed to be accessible for most sensitivities. There will be no candles, incense, or smudging involved in the space. If you have specific sensory needs or require an accommodation, please reach out 72 hours in advance. We are happy to support you.
Exchange: Adults — $5 | Children over 8 — $2 each | Children under 8 — Free
Registration closes July 4th.
Please include the names and ages of everyone attending at the time of registration.
