Art Journal Alchemists
Third Monday of the month
6:00-7:30pm
Dec. 15
Creative journaling is a safe space to explore and release feelings through visual and written expression. A regular art practice can help with understanding one’s emotions and can improve clarity and insight. Art journaling also encourages experimentation with different materials and techniques without fear of judgment. It can help rekindle creativity that may be dormant due to daily life pressures.
Join us for this monthly art journaling gathering where we will learn expressive techniques to encourage healing, growth, and creativity. This group is designed for adult participants who are seeking something engaging and creative. Our monthly sessions will focus on process, exploration, discovery, and play.
This group provides a safe and sacred space for expressing our creative selves through a variety of activities including collage, acrylic paint, pastels, and watercolor.
All materials supplied. No art experience necessary.
Led by Amy Frank, LAPC, ATR-P

Yoga Nidra + Sound Bath
Thursday January 8, 2026
6:00-7:30pm
This new year, trade resolutions for deep rest and a nervous system reset! Yoga Nidra and sound healing are truly a dynamic duo—working in perfect harmony to help you relax, release and restore.
Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation into restoration and nervous system regulation. No expectations. Just you, your mat, some cozy props, and the power of rest. You’ll simply show up, get comfy (plenty of blankets and props provided), listen and let your mind quiet as your body deeply restores. This part will be accompanied by gentle live music, supporting a state of deep relaxation.
The meditation will lead you into an immersive sound bath where you’ll be enveloped by the resonant, therapeutic sounds of instruments including crystal bowls, flutes and chimes. These harmonic vibrations work to soothe the nervous system, reduce stress, and encourage the brain to shift into deeply restorative alpha and theta wave states, similar to those experienced during meditation or light sleep.
Join us for an evening designed to melt away stress, recharge your energy, and restore a sense of inner peace and harmony as you begin the new year.
Session will be led by Lori Wieder and Josh Crownover.
Cost $35 (space is limited)

Somatic Yin Yoga - Winter 2026
Tuesdays 5:30-6:30pm
January 13-March 3, 2026
Whether you’re holding it all together on the outside but exhausted on the inside, or simply need to befriend your body and come back home to yourself, this practice is for you.
Somatic Yin Yoga weaves longer-held, gentle yin postures with somatic movements to release tension in the body and mind, and nourish you on every level.
So often our bodies are stuck in fight, flight or freeze without us even realizing it — sticky shoulders, shallow breath, tight hips, clenched jaws, that constant hum of anxious energy and buzzing thoughts... this practice meets you there.
Grounded yin yoga shapes work with your muscles and fascia to soften long-held tensions. (Supported by tons of props, time and tenderness!)
Embodied mindfulness practices release the grip of busy “thinking brain” and guide awareness down and into the body to rest in a powerful space of quiet awareness.
Somatic movements retrain the nervous system to release habitual patterns, contractions and stuck energy.
Come as you are and connect, explore, release, and cultivate inner stillness. Somatic Yin Yoga is yoga from the inside out.
Sessions led by Lori Wieder, LAPC, C-IAYT. Yoga
