Full Moon Kundalini Yoga Circle with Melissa Chen

Raise your Kundalini energy alongside community. Combining powerful movements, breathwork, mudras, meditation and chanting, Kundalini yoga — known as the yoga of awareness — offers us potent practices that clear out stagnant energy from the body and strengthen the nervous system to ground us in our inner authority during a time of collective chaos.

Melissa Chen will lead us through a kriya tailored to meet the energies of this Full Moon in Libra, followed by an integration circle and community tea + snacks. This practice is open to both new and experienced yoga practitioners, and a range of modifications will be provided to ensure accessibility.

Scholarships avaialble to BIPOC community. Hosted by GMC member - Lara Schneider Turnure.

Courage in the Dark: Exploring tender places of the heart

Courage in the Dark: Exploring tender places of the heart

This spring, with the hope of contacting and being with our shared grief, Riverbird Clinic is offering a multi-week, soul-opening, heart-expanding ketamine-assisted therapy (KAT) cohort to support the softening of our habituated and often unconscious defense strategies, and in turn, being with grief. Having the fortitude to do this sacred work ripens and deepens us, and alchemizes suffering into something beautiful and life-giving. Our grief doesn’t need healing, but rather our healing needs grief.

Creative Reset Through Collage, Color, and Exploration

Creative Reset Through Collage, Color, and Exploration

Calm in the Storm: A creative reset with space, collage, color & exploration to soothe your nervous system and reconnect with joy.

A 3-Hour Creative Reset Through Collage, Color, and Exploration

In a world that feels loud, fast, and demanding, this experience is an invitation to slow down.

We are often asked to move faster, produce more, and stay endlessly alert. Calm in the Storm is an intentional pause to slow your body, soften your mind, and reconnect with your natural creative rhythm through hands-on making, gentle prompts, and flow.

We’ll step out of the noise and into our hands—cutting, pasting, painting, drawing, and layering in handmade books as a way to reconnect with ourselves.

This experience blends:

  • A gentle practice to connect and settle in

  • Intuitive artmaking (collage, paint, drawing, mixed materials)

  • Spaciousness play, and permission to explore without judgement

  • Soft music to stimulate connection with our senses
