Gratitude doesn’t even begin to explain how we feel right now! 🐯 WE HAD THE JUNGLE GOING WILD!

⚡️ Our first Punk Poetry event was a MAJOR SUCCESS! And that’s because of all of YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! ⚡️

You came with poems, music, instruments, love, and kindness. 🧡 We want to thank you. Without you there is no Jungle. There is no studio. There is no community. There are no Troops. BUT OUR NUMBERS ARE STRONG AND SO ARE OUR HEARTS!

🕊️ We are looking forward to hosting another poetry event in The Jungle the first week of September.

And don’t forget to keep your raffle tickets for a chance to win FREE STUDIO TIME!

📑 Thank you to for hosting such an amazing event in our studio. MUCH LOVE!
