The second do good. feel good. SERIES event is this Saturday, December 5. #thesavageway
We (#thesavageway) have joined forces with Breathe Refuge and NoDa Yoga for an ongoing event series called the do good. feel good. SERIES. The idea behind this series of events stemmed from a desire to put our skills and energy back into the community in which we live – Charlotte. Collectively, we saw a need for an event where you are actively bettering yourself and also assisting others at the same time.
The purpose of the do good. feel good. SERIES is to offer the Charlotte community a workshop in a healing area (yoga, breathwork, etc) or to learn a skill. These events are meant to rejuvenate the body, mind and the soul.
The minds behind the do good. feel good. SERIES. #thesavageway
“Bringing our three companies together for an event was a very natural fit,” said Jonathan Winn, owner of Breathe Refuge. “We all exist to positively influence our clients and community. We saw an opportunity to use our areas of expertise to give back to this great neighborhood that we live in.”
THIS SATURDAY: Help the Behailu Academy!
This Saturday, December 5, 2015, we will be hosting a breathwork class led by the one and only Jonathan Winn of Breathe Refuge. The event runs from 1-3pm at the NoDa Yoga studio (3201 N. Davidson St). Event attendees can expect a healing and rejuvenating breathwork class in a safe setting and enjoy a snack from Bruks Bars afterward.
Saturday, December 5 from 1-3pm join in a breathwork class and help local charity Behailu Academy. #thesavageway
Tickets are $30/person and all proceeds benefit Behailu Academy, a Charlotte area kids art program. They are located in the historic arts district of NoDa – and they rock! The Behailu Academy empowers youth to find and use their voices through the arts, academic support and community service.
Here’s what they do:
– A free after-school youth apprenticeship program that encourages students in 9th-12th grade to stay in school, engage in their communities and pursue arts affiliated opportunities beyond high school.
– 5-buck Fridays where youth take short-term workshops to complete a single project and other workshops such as dance, video editing or oil painting at a low cost.
– Bi-monthly youth arts showcase events open to the public during NoDa’s bi-monthly gallery crawls.
These are the kids that will be helped on Sat. Dec 5 during the do good. feel good. SERIES. #thesavageway
Tickets can be purchased by visiting nodayoga.com and searching Workshops. For additional information, please email [email protected].
What started out as a little idea to give back to our community has turned into an ongoing event series that we couldn’t be more proud of. We’d love to see you there on Saturday! Stay tuned for more do good. feel good. SERIES events in 2016!

“Work hard. Talk less. Do what you feel is right. Learn from your mistakes. Build people up. Laugh often. Stop complaining. Invest in yourself. Dream Big. Plan Ahead. Love unconditionally.”
This quote has been a guiding principle for our company this year. We both make a conscious effort every single day to practice gratitude and live our lives in a positive way. Life is busy and hard and sometimes overwhelming, but we actively choose to focus on the good things. The rest will eventually figure itself out. Life is entirely too short to complain or be doing something that you don’t believe in. We are put on this earth to love, to dream big, to take chances and to make a positive impact on the world.
There are a million things to be grateful for this year and we wanted to share a handful of the things that bring us joy.
Having the opportunity to surround ourselves with positive people who have a passion for what we do as a business. Alana and Cailin have brought an incredible energy to our business. We see so many opportunities to grow with these smart, talented and ambitious women <3
We love all of our ladies at #thesavageway.
Being able to create the things we wish existed. Clean Graffiti and Moss Art are two things that we’ve developed and grown over the course of three years. We are extremely proud of our work, humbled by the clients that choose to work with us and excited for the future of these mediums.

Being friends with those who shine a light on our life and provide a healing energy when we need it the most. We have been blessed to have people like Jonathan & Jillian in our lives. People like these two radiate that healing power that bring ease and comfort to our daily lives. We are lucky to know (and partner) with such positive people.

Giving back to the community in a meaningful way. Actively giving back to the community we live in is important. We’ve partnered with two other local businesses for a series of healing events called the do good. feel good. SERIES. All proceeds benefit local charities! There are so many ways to give back. Find what you’re passionate about and get to work!

Inaugural do good. feel good. SERIES with #thesavageway, Breathe Refuge & NoDa Yoga benefitted Time Out Youth.
Having the ability and flexibility to travel and enjoy new experiences. We are beyond grateful that we’ve had the opportunity to not only travel for work but also to take some time to relax on a personal level. We’ve been able to go coast to coast to sightsee and reflect on the hard work that we’ve put in over the years. It was nice and we know how fortunate we are to be able to see other parts of the world.
2015 took us to New York, NY / San Francisco, CA / Sedona, AZ – #thesavageway
We are beyond grateful for the hard lessons we’ve learned and the incredible successes we’ve experienced these past 11 months. Our eyes are wide open, our hearts are full and our desire to be better humans seeps from every pore.
One other quote to leave you with.
“I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. If you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it full speed. Embrace it with both arms. Hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good.” – Roald Dahl
Happy Thanksgiving <3
