So… funny story.

Last week, we said goodbye to our ASHTA store.
It was heartfelt. We cried. We hugged.
We truly thought it was the end of a beautiful chapter — one we’ll always be grateful for.

Messages started pouring in.
You told us how this little store had become a space for connection —
where you brought your daughter to show her how clothes could heal,
where you remembered that your choices carry power,
and something in you shifted — for good.

And it made us pause.

Because this was never just a pop-up for us either.
It’s been a sanctuary.
A place to slow down, to reconnect, to remember what truly matters.

It made it all so much harder to say goodbye. But we had found peace with it.
We were ready to leave. The decision was made. Boxes packed. Contractors hired.

In the midst of our sadness, Ana said, “It’s not goodbye. It’s a plot twist.”
We laughed, hugged again, and closed the curtain — literally.

 

 

Turns out, she wasn’t just being poetic.
She was prophetic.

Because just as we turned the page… something shifted.
It felt like the Universe had other plans.

Quietly, clearly, a door opened.
An opportunity appeared that felt impossibly aligned.

And at that moment, we knew: this story wasn’t finished yet.

Apparently, the people we had talked to, had talked to people, who had talked to people - including members of our community. Many little efforts and prayers over the last weeks slowly pathed a new way.

 

 

And by the 11th hour, it brought about the biggest plot twist of our 9 year history: We’re staying. For 6 more months!

Honestly, we’re still taking it all in (like, whattt?)
And are still scrambling to change back schedules, cancel storage space and realign our plans.

But if there’s one thing we’ve learned,
it’s that our community writes the most beautiful endings — and beginnings.

So yes — we’re back.
Act II. By cosmic alignment (and popular demand 😉)
For more moments. More conversations. More stories worth sharing.

Because you reminded us why this space matters.
And how it still has a lot to give for now.

Thank you — for reminding us of the power of community.

For reminding us why this space matters. And how it still has a lot to give.
See you back at ASHTA! 💛

With love and a big hug full of joy,
Denica & The SukkhaCitta Team
