Fresh Sounds presents Alfred Banks from NOLA! Come listen to his music and enjoy a fresh JuneShine!

Join us for an evening of music and movement! We’ll start with an intimate listening party to dive into Polartropica’s latest tunes, followed by a beginner-friendly line dancing session brought to you by Polartropica and your very own Cass. We’ll be clearing out the lounge to make room for dancing, laughter, and plenty of good energy - boots encouraged, sparkle optional. Yeehaw!

Join us for Wine Club on the 2nd Thursday of each month - with a different theme! We’ll gather for our usual vino-filled mixer with just a splash of wine wisdom, followed by introductions and the stories behind members’ wine selections. 

* Nervous about presenting? Don’t be! It’s low pressure and we truly want to get to know you and your contribution. Just a quick chat about why you picked your bottle (1-2 mins max). Pro tip: if you’re feeling shy about describing your wine, the Vivino app can save the day if you're winging it!

As always, we’ll have a spread of bites to accompany the wine. 

Note: All members and their guests are warmly invited to attend Wine Club events; however, all attendees must be 21+.

Bringing people together is at the heart of Groundfloor, and there are few better ways to do that than through cuisine. Whether simple or extraordinary, food creates shared experiences and lasting memories! We can't wait to see your smiling face and whatever you buy, cook, bake, or improvise. This will be a Friendsgiving special edition so time to dig up that recipe from your grandma for gravy, pie, stuffing, etc. You know, that secret recipe that you will never share ;) Don’t forget to bring containers for leftovers so you can enjoy a great meal or two in the coming days. More details to follow as this will be a collab between your usual Potluck organizers and GroundFloor itself! It will be extra yummy :D

Ready to close the chapter on 2025 with intention—and open 2026 with clarity?

Join Story Coach Liz Morrison for a transformative workshop where you'll use creative, experiential exercises to reflect on the story of your year, uncover what truly mattered, and set a purposeful direction for what comes next.

This isn't your typical goal-setting session. 

Through storytelling, creative activities, visualization, and connection, you'll explore:

✨ Past: The highs, lows, and turning points that shaped your 2025

📍 Present: Where you are right now—and what you're ready to shift

🚀 Possible: The story you want to create in 2026

Using Liz's proven Narrative Navigation framework, you'll move beyond surface-level reflection to discover the deeper themes and patterns in your year. You'll leave with clarity on what you want to let go, what you want to nourish, and a compass to guide your next chapter.

What to Expect:

🔵 Guided reflection on your 2025 story (the moments, milestones, and meanings)

🔵 Creative, embodied exercises to help you visualize your year

🔵 Community connection—share stories, witness others, and feel less alone in the messy middle

🔵 A personalized story map for stepping into 2026 with intention and agency

This workshop is for you if:

🟣 You want to make sense of the year you just lived through

🟣 You're craving real community and authentic connection during the holidays

🟣 You're tired of setting goals that don't stick and want a more story-driven approach

🟣 You're ready to step into 2026 as the author of your own story

Interpersonal Club is a space for members to explore, inquire, practice and deepen in understanding around the many types of relationships and connections in our lives. Through the exploration of interpersonal neurobiology, communication skills, relational resonance and coherence, co-regulation, empathy, emotional attunement, attachment, collective consciousness and more, we will grow our connections in real time and deepen our capacities for authentic and embodied relationships with our friends, partners, families, children, collaborators, and communities. 

*A note about our club structure: Rather than centering consumption of content or replication of hierarchical group power structures, we will tend to center group process in Interpersonal Club, meaning that we will stay with the trouble of working/playing/exploring through any sticky or murky places that may come up as we learn to be in deeper community together. 

DISCLAIMER: Interpersonal Club and its events and offerings are for enrichment only and are not a substitute for therapy, counseling, or mental health support groups.
