The Big Swap - Benefiting Popcorn Park Animal Refuge

Join PMY&W to bond as a community, find new treasure, and support a good cause!

We all have clutter to some degree and difficulty letting go of things that are valuable in our mind. Things of actual value and things of emotional value. We carry them. Those things that spark joy in Marie Kondo’s word and those that had once brought joy but are no longer serving us. Things we had imagined could bring joy and things that no longer matter. Things that were left or gifted to us that we can’t find a suitable home for. Things that are too nice to throw away. Each thing in our live holds an energetic story. The Big Swap is an opportunity to honor and transition our things to spark joy in another, and for story-telling. Instead of throwing things out, we shall recycle. What is something that you are ready to clean out, let go, and give away?

Everyone is invited to bring a minimum of 5 and maximum of 15 new or minimally used and non-broken items, each valued at least for $10 or more (other than clothes, books/magazines, furniture, nor perishables). Upon entering the space, everyone will lay their items down by category as directed. When all things have been organized, everyone will then be welcomed back to the space to browse and claim whatever that resonates and could be useful. One could claim up to the same number of items that they have brought in, for essentially a swap as desired, or nothing. We will end in a circle as a community to honor the things in our life-to celebrate letting go and welcoming of the new.

We will be offering mocktails and light bites! Your donation (suggested at $5-$15) collected at the door will be gifted by Pink Moon Yoga to the Popcorn Park Animal Refuge in Forked River.
