You’re Invited to an Intentional Clothing Exchange!
Come share your energy, your stories, and your carefully curated items in a space designed for mindful exchange and renewal.
Join us on April 7th at Energetic Experiences for a transformative in-person gathering that celebrates connection, community, and conscious sharing.
This event is expertly facilitated by seasoned facilitator Betsy Finkelhoo, who is renowned for curating transformative community experiences that honor individual expression and collective intention, especially with her specific formula for making clothing exchanges organized and intentional.
Unlike traditional swaps that can feel a bit chaotic and like a race to claim the "best" items, this style of intentional exchange is rooted in mindfulness and mutual respect. We encourage a spirit of looking out for one another; its not about grabbing; it’s about giving and receiving in balance, while reinventing ourselves with powerful intent.
Before the swapping begins, we gather in circle—a sacred pause where we set intentions, share stories, and support one another.
This isn’t just about clothes; it’s about acknowledging the energetic layers they carry and giving ourselves permission to evolve.
During our opening circle, you’ll have the option to choose one special item to talk about, sharing its story and the energy it holds and be seen as you release it.
This event is curated for all bodies, with separate rooms for female bodies and male bodies during the swap portion. We’ll come together in a co-ed shared circle and then split for the clothes-changing portion, so everyone can enjoy a comfortable and supportive experience.
Shoes, jewelry, accessories are welcome along with clothing.
In addition, sacred items, blankets, a few books, decorative items, and are welcome too—with the understanding that if you bring bulky items and they aren’t taken home, you’ll bring them back with you to reduce the heavy lifting on hosts. Thank you.
Remember this is not a place to dump your junk.
ONLY NICE ITEMS THAT OTHERS WILL WANT.
What to Bring:
• A minimum of at least 5-10 pieces of clothing and/or accessories
• A maximum of 2 bins or bags of items (3 is okay if it’s really special stuff that you know people will love). This helps minimize heavy lifting at the end and keeps our swap organized.
• An extra bag or box to help with donation clean-up.
• A smile and good attitude!
What NOT to Bring:
• Only bring clothes that are wearable—no holes, stains, stretched-out elastic, or broken zippers. Remember, these clothes are going to the people in our community.
• Worn underwear, one sock, unwashed or smelly clothes.
• Please minimize wearing strong perfume or scents the day of to honor sensitivity of others.
•Please do not bring anything with pet dander or has been smoke infused to honor allergy sensitivity.
A Few Important Notes:
• Arrive on Time in the first 30 minutes: Punctuality is key to ensure everyone can participate fully in the circle and the organized swapping process.
• RSVP & Secure Your Spot: This event has limited capacity and will fill up, so please secure your spot by sending your RSVP and donation of your choice of $10-$40 via Venmo to @Betsy-Finkelhoo
A fun swap trick is to wear your favorite undies and come dressed in something you’ll be offering to the pile, so you can leave in something new and exciting!
As you clean out your closet, consider these principles of letting go
GET RID OF IT IF:
If you haven’t worn it in over a year+
If it reminds you an old identity or part of you that has evolved
If you wished it would fit better, but doesn’t and likely won’t ever
If it doesn’t bring you joy
Let’s come together, RELEASE, RENEW, share our treasures, and create something beautiful!
Feel free to reply if you have any questions or need additional details. We can’t wait to see you there!
