Christmas Extravanganza update

Christmas is such a wonderful time for gathering together with our loved ones, it seemed really important that – somehow – we at Holistic Feathers could support our chosen charity, Afghan Heroes, and all that this newly-formed charity stands for.

(If you would like to find out why we are supporting Afghan Heroes then please kindly read our Charity page – it’s a very personal thing.  Sending unconditional love to our troops and the area is a core element of our personal meditation practice.)

Part of Afghan Heroes “mission” is to gather donations of cash and items to ensure that every single soldier, on every tour of Afghanistan, will receive a parcel ‘from home’. These parcels will include basics such as letters, antibacterial gel, toothpaste, magazines, biscuits, shower gels and DVDs and the aim is to ensure they know they, and their work, is appreciated from us back home.

Our dream was to hold a Christmas Open House Extravangza on Saturday 5th December 2009 and we were blessed with many offers of support, free publicity and raffle prizes from our friends and contacts made through networking.  As well as providing a stress-free shopping experience for some gorgeous Christmas gifts, conversation over mince pies and mulled wine and a chance to learn more about yourself with the Self-Mastery Game, we were also going to hold mini pamper-sessions where all profits raised were going to Afghan Heroes.

However, we have sadly – and very reluctantly – had to postpone plans for this fundraising event due to unforeseen circumstances  (I am currently undergoing medical tests).  All of the Christmas goodies are still available at our online store!

Our heartfelt thanks and gratitude go to the following amazing people for their enthusiasm and support for a cause which they know is so close to our hearts:

Anne Jones & Brenda Targett – Anne Jones

Azmina Jiwa – Happiness Life Coach

Debbie Mulkern – Ripple Limited UK

Fiona Syrett – Utilities Warehouse

Kate Wardman – Self-Mastery Game

Rachna Sachdeva – Mums In Control

Sofia Benke – Salt Cave

Plus we would also like to thank our friends and relatives who were willing to donate their time – and catering skills – to help out on 5th December … rest assured we will be planning something much bigger in 2010!
