A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER:
I grew up running Bloomsday in Spokane. I love my home city deeply.

The devastation on the east side + the smoke here leading up to this Sunday's race day feel so heavy to me.

🌀I feel fortunate for green air quality this weekend.

🌀Prior to Sunday's race start there will be a moment of silence to generate collective peace & ripple this healing energy outward in every direction.

When the world feels on fire, visiting with Lake Union always helps me feel more calm.

Whether you are at the race this weekend or not, the world needs more of us generating more calm, so here is a guided meditation I shared earlier this year.

Fifteen minutes to soothe your mind & nervous system.
And from that place.... gently send a little more peace into your home, your family, & even the world.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or helpless~ this simple meditation reset can change your world!

Join us this weekend for a magical moment of community prayer, the perfect medicine for a world on fire.

Collective care is so needed right now.

Grab your ticket today. We'll see you on Sunday.

Warmly,
Laura Vervaeke
Lake Union 10K Founder

P.S. Just like the water of Lake Union, even small moments of calm can ripple outward in ways we can’t always see. 🌀
