Release old stories about your body, restore your connection to your physical self, and feel empowered in your body, no matter what.

From a very young age, women are told how their bodies should look, and what they should do and be in order to achieve that physical state. As a result, the connection to our intuition, the way we take care of ourselves, and the ability to offer our bodies acceptance and unconditional love has been muted.

Grief is a natural response to love, loss, and change - yet so often it is carried alone. Gathering in community creates space for grief to be witnessed, normalized, and gently held.

This intimate gathering invites you to bring your questions, your experiences, and your tender heart into a shared circle of listening, reflection, and care. Facilitated by Allison Daily and Robyn Hubbard—both longtime grief counselors and companions in this community—this offering is rooted in lived experience, deep presence, and compassionate guidance.

All are welcome. You do not have to grieve alone.

Fatherhood asks us to grow even as we guide. To find patience, presence, and flexibility, even when we're tired, overwhelmed, or unsure. Dad Dharma is a space for men stepping into and moving through fatherhood to pause, reflect, and connect. Together, we'll explore:

• Discovering who we're becoming as fathers & partners

• Caring for ourselves, our children, and partners

• Knowing we don't have to do this alone

We’ll create space for the weight and the wonder through honest conversation, poetry, breath, movement, and laughter.

What happens when we treat our life as ceremony, living with intention, awareness, and gratitude? And how can the immersive experience of exploring states of consciousness guide us towards an expanded capacity for an intentional, fulfilling life?

• Initiate an altar to center us and connect us to each other

• Explore principles of crafting and aligning to intentions

• Generate an altered state of consciousness through active breathwork

• Amplify our intentions through changing our state of being on purpose, to expand our capacity and awareness

• Integrate the experience into meaningful change
