Breathe & Bloom with Rebecca Blondell

A gentle unfolding into stillness, vitality, and the radiance of body and spirit.

Beneath the shelter of the redwoods, this one-hour practice invites you inward — into breath, movement, and meditation that attunes body, mind, and spirit. As the day falls away, you’ll release what no longer serves, reclaim what is truly yours, and open into a deeper sense of nourishment, spaciousness, and inner radiance.

Here, in the quiet beauty of the garden, you are supported in returning to wholeness — leaving refreshed, centered, and more alive in your body. Whether you are beginning or deepening your journey, this practice welcomes you home to yourself.

 

 

All levels welcome. Children under 15 are welcome to join at no cost.

Please note: not all breath practices are suitable for children under 12, but modifications can be offered so they can still participate safely and comfortably. Benches are available for those who prefer a seated practice.

    Rebecca Blondell

    Rebecca Blondell is passionately drawn to exploring the intricate facets of the human mind, body, energetic system, and spirit, delving into diverse avenues of healing. Recognizing inherent patterns in nature, she embarked on a journey to unveil the natural rhythms within humans and their harmonious connection with nature itself. It’s a profound realization that we, too, are nature—harboring tides like the ocean and embodying all elements. In this context, healing transcends linearity; it unfolds as a quest to discern what is needed when.

    The pivotal question emerged: How can we guide the body back to its innate, pain-free equilibrium? This solidified Rebecca’s commitment to holistic work with the body, mind, and spirit, substantiated by certificates in various modalities. She is a licensed Kundalini Yoga, Meditation, and Breathwork Teacher, as well as a Certified Massage Therapist with training in CranioSacral Therapy, Gyrotonic, Deep Tissue, Shiatsu, and more.

    Deeply fluent in the language of the body and energetic systems, Rebecca weaves breath, movement, and meditation into her work—guiding others back to the wisdom of their own bodies and the healing rhythms of nature.

IRS Guidelines for Gifts from Donor Advised Funds to Support MAGC Events

Thank you for your interest in giving to the Marin Art & Garden Center events from your Donor Advised Fund (DAF) or Family Foundation.

We sincerely appreciate your generosity and support!

To ensure your gift follows the current IRS guidelines for DAF/Family Foundation support of an event, we would like to share the below guidelines with you.

  • Raffle tickets, tickets to galas and other special events, auction items, and benefits conferred in connection with a DAF/foundation grant are not permitted.
    • IRS has specifically ruled that fair market value associated with fundraising events cannot be separated, a practice known as “bifurcation.”
      • For example, with Edible Garden, if the price of the ticket is $200 and the FMV fair market value (non-tax-deductible amount) is designated to be $50, the donor must pay from sources other than her DAF/foundation for the full value of the ticket ($200) and not just for the non-tax-deductible amount ($50).
    • We recommend you confer with your financial advisor to confirm if any of these examples of how donors may still use their DAF to support an event would work for you:
      • A donor could sponsor the event, and not attend, and pay fully out of the DAF/foundation.
      • A donor could sponsor the event using DAF/foundation funds and attend by purchasing an individual ticket through non-DAF/foundation funds.
      • A donor could sponsor the event, join the event as a guest of another donor/table guest, and pay fully out of the DAF/foundation.
      • A donor could sponsor the event and host the afforded number of people at their chosen level as long as they pay for the seats at the lowest ticket price ($200 for Edible Garden) outside of their DAF.
        • As an example, a $1,500 sponsor that covers 2 guests, could pay for their sponsorship with $400 from a different source of funds, and then give an additional gift of $1,100 out of their DAF.
