The aim is to help establish awareness, communication patterns, and connections that sustain a couple through the challenges of this adjustment. We'll explore what secure attachment means and how it looks. We also discuss the biology of attachment and why we are built for connection.

Immerse yourself in a restorative afternoon of healing and relaxation with our group acupuncture and live sound bath. This unique offering combines the ancient practice of acupuncture with licensed acupuncturist, Elena Gomez, and with the soothing vibrations of a live sound bath by Laura Drummond to promote deep relaxation, balance, and renewal. What to expect: In each session, you’ll relax in a comfortable shared space while Elena gently places hair-thin needles at five specific points in the ear and along the hairline. We provide yoga mats, blankets, and bolsters so you can settle in and get as comfortable as possible. Once everyone is resting, soothing tones from crystal bowls or other instruments create a calming soundscape to support deep relaxation and stress relief. The session closes with quiet grounding time, and you’re welcome to help yourself to tea or coffee afterward as you ease back into your day.

As summer gives way to fall, we're invited to slow down, turn inward, and create space for reflection, grounding, and rest. Join us on Sunday, September 20th at 5pm for an intimate fall gathering led by Alicia Henry, meditation teacher, Reiki practitioner, and tea ceremonialist. Rooted in the wisdom of nature, Alicia's offerings invite us to slow down and allow the present moment to reveal its many gifts, supporting us in moving through life's transitions with grace and gratitude. This gathering follows our monthly group acupuncture and live sound bath, offering a beautiful opportunity to extend your afternoon of nervous system rest and reflection. Join us for both experiences and receive 20% off your acupuncture and sound bath sessions. The afternoon will weave together herbal tea, meditation, group Reiki, and gentle somatic movement for a nourishing and grounding experience as we settle into the season. This gathering is open to all, and especially those moving through tender or transformative seasons of life—including pregnancy, postpartum, early parenthood, and transitions of all kinds. Come ready to receive. Fall reminds us that there is wisdom in slowing down, letting go, and turning inward. This contemplative afternoon is an invitation to pause, reconnect with yourself, and gently make space for what is unfolding within.

Clean your closets and support the community! Throughout the month of September, we’re collecting gently used, clean maternity, nursing, baby, and toddler (2T-5T) clothing that you no longer need. Then on Sunday, September 27th, we’ll open our doors for a community swap day—come browse and take what you can use, no need to have donated in order to participate. Please note that we are not accepting: toys, open/used hygiene products, summer clothes (bathing suits, shorts, tanks, etc.) This is a beautiful way to lighten your load, share resources, and connect with other parents in the same season of life. Anything left over will be donated to organizations like Stepping Stone who support families in need. Let’s pass along the love, one onesie at a time 💛 DONATION TIMES: You can always drop clothes before or after a class. If a class time doesn't work for you, please see the below donation times: Sept 3, 12 - 2PM Sept 4, 3 - 4PM Sept 10, 4 - 6PM Sept 11, 10AM - 12PM Sept 17, 12 - 3PM Sept 24, 3 - 6PM Sept 25, 10AM - 1PM

This workshop walks you through infant CPR, choking response, and everyday first aid basics in a space designed to feel supportive rather than overwhelming. You'll learn hands-on techniques for recognizing and responding to choking, performing infant and child CPR, and handling the small emergencies that come with life alongside babies and children. This isn't about fear. It's about readiness, and the peace of mind that comes with it. Bring a partner, a grandparent, or another caregiver. The more people in your circle who know these skills, the more supported your family will be. This is a 1.5 hour family and friends (non-certification) workshop. One reservation per person, please. Questions are welcome. Come as you are!

Immerse yourself in a restorative afternoon of healing and relaxation with our group acupuncture and live sound bath. This unique offering combines the ancient practice of acupuncture with licensed acupuncturist, Elena Gomez, and with the soothing vibrations of a live sound bath by Laura Drummond to promote deep relaxation, balance, and renewal. What to expect: In each session, you’ll relax in a comfortable shared space while Elena gently places hair-thin needles at five specific points in the ear and along the hairline. We provide yoga mats, blankets, and bolsters so you can settle in and get as comfortable as possible. Once everyone is resting, soothing tones from crystal bowls or other instruments create a calming soundscape to support deep relaxation and stress relief. The session closes with quiet grounding time, and you’re welcome to help yourself to tea or coffee afterward as you ease back into your day.

There may be occasional facilitation of the group by volunteers, but this is largely an offering of weekly, free, climate-controlled space that is open for connection and socializing for parents of toddlers (ages 1-3). If your child is sick, please stay home.
