Partnerships

Meet the village.

Every Little Village gathering is made possible by a partnership with a community organization that shares its space with us. We currently partner with St. Mark’s Episcopal Church and Zoetic Meditation and Retreat Center.

We bring our creativity and resources into each partnership, working together to make spaces more inclusive and inviting for families.

We also commit to being good stewards of the spaces that our gracious community partners let us use. Our goal is to leave every space better than we found it.

If you’d like to partner with us, please email us at littlevillagesmtx@gmail.com.

St. Mark’s Episcopal Church

St. Mark’s has shared a space with us for many years, and we have received several grants through their Outreach Committee. St. Mark’s Episcopal Church provides space for Postpartum Circles, Little Helpers, Village Prenatals, board meetings, and childcare.

The Early Childhood Building

Formerly St. Mark’s Episcopal Preschool.

The Early Childhood Building is a thoughtfully prepared indoor and outdoor space, perfect for preschoolers, crawlers, and babies.

The community garden that we share grows vegetables, medicinal herbs like tulsi and hibiscus, and native flowers for pollinators. We even grow our own blue food coloring from butterfly pea flowers.

The mud kitchen, donated by Real Play Kids, is stocked fresh each day, along with a sensory bin and water table.

The whole campus is a certified wildlife habitat. Lizards, birds, butterflies, katydids, stick bugs, praying mantises, and colorful grasshoppers are regular visitors.

Special installations change throughout the year. The light table, cardboard cutting workshop, microscope station, and nature collections rotate with the seasons.

Nature School

We highly recommend Nature School at St. Mark’s for families with children ages six and under. Nature School is St. Mark’s free Friday program, where children and their caregivers spend the morning together exploring nature through art, story, and play.

St. Mark’s invites Little Village to participate in Nature School as community partners, and the program welcomes people of all faiths and backgrounds.

Nature School

“We've loved our partnership with Little Village and all that the team does to build community and family support in this space. We've seen the diaper and formula pantry continue to meet the needs of families throughout the month. It's truly a blessing to be in partnership with Little Village.”

— Nicole Treviño, Family Minister, St. Mark's Episcopal Church

Zoetic Meditation and Retreat Center

Zoetic is our newest community partner. Our relationship began in 2025 when Little Village provided free childcare so parents could participate in Aquatic Yoga and Ecstatic Dance. Since becoming a nonprofit, we’ve also received generous financial support from Zoetic’s founders, Dara and Vince.

Now, Zoetic is sharing its space with us to make room for more families. Little Village Tuesdays are coming soon to Zoetic River in Wimberley, giving us a second weekly gathering for Postpartum Circles and Little Helpers.

Zoetic River

Located along the Blanco River in Wimberley, Zoetic is a mindfulness retreat center surrounded by beautiful Hill Country nature.

Here, families can enjoy a comfortable open-air breezeway, spacious wooded grounds with hammocks and seating overlooking the river, and My-Grown-Up-and-Me yoga in the meditation hall. Families may also meet Zoetic’s friendly miniature goats and giant rabbits.

Retreats and Financial Assistance

Zoetic offers restorative retreat experiences, including overnight stays with all meals provided, so you, the caretaker, can just allow yourself to be taken care of.

Zoetic has a fund that covers the full cost of a retreat for one participant at each retreat. They would love to see more parents with young children make use of this opportunity.
