Run & Walk club part 4 🌴

Running and walking it back this week, wanting to see as many faces possible for our run and walk club!

Route will be decided closer to the day but trying to have 2 groups - get on it! (please!)

Ten wines. Ten pairings.

No one’s talking terroir.
No one’s making you guess the varietal.
This isn’t a quiz — it’s a pairing.

We’ve matched ten California (and adjacent) wines with food that’s actually meant to be eaten with each pour. From light whites to big reds, every glass is served with a grocery-store-perfect pairing. Some salty, some creamy, all of it works.

It’s not formal.
It’s not stuffy.
It’s just really, really well-paired.

Ten wines. Ten pairings. One damn good night.

We’re pouring California’s best — from the Central Coast to Sonoma — with snacks that hit all the right notes. Just really good wine, matched with food that makes it better.

This isn’t a dinner party. It’s not a class.
It’s a tasting.
You come hungry, leave tipsy, and probably fall in love with at least one wine you weren’t expecting.

5 on Friday

Log off and join in at 5 pm on Fridays. Each week we take the pulse to decide if we GTFO or stay in. No matter what we do, it's a fun way to hang out with your community before Friday night plans. Just show up as you are - we’ll handle the rest.

Sips Happen: The Pop-Up Series

No set schedule. No cover. No pressure.

Just a pop-up when a pop-up feels right—like maybe on a midweek summer night, when the A/C is pumping and the puzzles are the stars.

The themes will change—oh yes, they will—and I’ve got plenty of surprises in store. This round will be mild-mannered in the best way: we’ll sip and piece our way to puzzle completion.

One night we might storytell, another we might brown bag it, or maybe the theme will be your favorite Trader Joe’s wines—WHO KNOWS! But one thing’s for sure: the sips will be happening.

First up: a curated flight from Naked Wines, an online community that backs independent winemakers and gives us access to bottles you won’t find on store shelves.

Whether you’re a puzzle enthusiast, a wine nerd, or just looking for a good hang, Sips Happen is designed to be low-key, high-fun, and totally worth showing up for—even if you’re not sipping.

Tips are welcome. Food is encouraged.

Let’s puzzle this out together.

Community Cooks: Pupusa Night!

Whether you're a self-proclaimed home chef or a kitchen newbie, Community Cooks is all about the joy of creating simple, delicious meals together in a laid-back, supportive environment.

We'll be making our own pupusas!

What I'll Provide:
Chicharron
Beans
Cheese
+ other fillings I'll find :)

Curtido (the slaw mix that comes with pupusas!)
Fresh Agua Frescas!

Stay tuned for industry guest announcement 📣

Beat Procrastination and Creative Blocks

You know that state of mind where you forget about time and space and become completely focused on whatever you’re working on? That's called the FLOW, and it feels great but can be difficult to achieve consistently on your own. Through the power of mono-tasking, rituals, body doubling, and power breaks, we’ll reach the FLOW together, and you’ll be surprised by what you’ll have gotten done at the end of the day. So how does it work? We’ll have a series of 50-minute bursts of focused, mono-tasking work. Every burst will be separated by quick 10-minute breaks. After 2 bursts, we’ll have a longer break, where we’ll share a meal (remember to bring your own lunch) and socialize before diving into the last two bursts. Switching off notifications, focusing on a single task at a time, being surrounded by people doing the same, and not keeping track of time will help you reach the FLOW. Essentially, getting days' worth of work done in just four hours. Let's get those procrastinated tasks done and beat creative blocks TOGETHER! Here is what our session will look like: 10:30 - 10:45: introduction 10:45 - 11:35: first rush 11:35 - 11:45: short break 11:45 - 12:35: second rush 12:35 - 01:05: lunch break 01:05 - 01:55: third rush 01:55 - 02:05: short break 02:05 - 02:55: last rush 02:55 - 03:10: outro You are welcome to join for just one rush or stay for the whole session; we just ask you to enter or leave the room only during breaks to prevent distraction for the other participants.

Book Club: The Man in the High Castle

Bookworms! Discuss your favorite books, authors, genres, and literary events. We usually meet on the first Monday of the month for a book chat. [note if this month is different]

This month we'll be meeting to discuss our Book Club pick, [title] by [author].

There will be yummy snacks, beverages, and juicy conversation about a book that is sure to spark some thoughts.

Book Club is welcoming new members and we’d love to see you there.

Human Design Exchange

This month I’ll be giving an introduction to the history of human design, where the information comes from, what all the numbers and symbols mean, how it relates to quantum physics, and why knowing your design is so important in this current paradigm we are living.
We will also dig in to the profile numbers and what they say about how you present to the world consciously and unconsciously.
As always, there will be time for discussion! Bring your charts and your questions!

If you don’t have access to your chart already, feel free to look it up and screenshot it from my website…

Intentions to Outcomes: A Heart-Centered Journey in Community

Join us for a unique, two-hour community gathering that invites you to slow down, reflect deeply, and reconnect—with yourself and others. This immersive workshop is designed to be both nourishing and energizing: part personal retreat, part collective gathering.

Guided by the principles of Dr. Jean Watson’s Caring Science and inspired by Stanford nurses who embody this holistic, human-centered philosophy, Intentions to Outcomes brings to life a way of being grounded in compassion, empathy, love, and connection – first towards ourselves, and those around us. In a time when many feel unmoored, this workshop offers a space to realign with your values, explore your inner landscape, and rediscover trust in humanity.

What to Expect:
Over the course of this heartful experience, we’ll journey through four reflective segments that mirror the holistic nursing process:
1. Look Back – Gentle reflection on your personal journey
2. Look Inward – Discovery and exploration into values, strengths, and inner truth
3. Look Ahead – Envisioning and mapping what matters most
4. Look Again – Reinforcement, accountability, and integration

You’ll participate in guided practices and community-based activities which could include:
• Light icebreakers to build warmth and connection
• Centering and mindfulness exercises
• Journaling prompts for self-exploration
• Guided meditation
• Group discourse and story sharing
• Creative expression tools like zentangle art or mindmapping

There will also be intentional moments of solitude to encourage stillness, pause, and presence—so vital to human wellbeing.

Who Is This For?
This workshop is for anyone feeling a pull toward intentional conscious living, inner alignment, and meaningful community. Whether you're navigating transition, seeking clarity, or simply longing for deeper connection, Intentions to Outcomes offers a soulfully structured space to begin that process.

What You'll Leave With:
• A deeper understanding of yourself and your values
• A sense of grounded direction and actionable steps for the months ahead
• Renewed trust in community and humanity
• Practical tools and practices to support ongoing growth
• An invitation to monthly check-ins to reinforce progress, build habits, and stay connected

Why Now?
The last few years have deeply impacted how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. As we emerge from collective disorientation, and current affairs, it's essential to create spaces that prioritize the heart. This workshop was born from the belief that caring is not just a professional framework—it’s a human one. Inspired by Jean Watson’s nursing theory and the compassionate practice of Stanford nurses, Intentions to Outcomes creates space for reflection, discovery, and heart-centered transformation.

Because what we carry in our hearts truly matters.

Embody Freedom: Release the “Life Contracts” that Constrain You (for BIPOC women)

Have you ever felt bound to habits, or beliefs that no longer reflect or feel aligned to who you are today? Perhaps they were influenced by family, cultural, or societal expectations that informed you that you had to be a certain way in order to belong or be accepted? These “life contracts”--the conscious or unconscious agreements we make with ourselves–often shape our behaviors, keep us stuck in outdated roles and lead to feelings of stress, self-doubt, and burnout. In this 2-hour experiential and dynamic workshop, you will reflect on how these past “life contracts” are holding you back from the life you truly crave. Whether it’s a belief about how you “should” behave, a role you feel obligated to maintain, or keep living a value that no longer aligns, it’s time renegotiate these agreements and ignite your transformation. Through embodiment &  movement practices, individual and group reflection, and committing to a new “life contract” moving forward, you’ll: • Reflect on internal life contracts that no longer work • Discover the origins of external expectations  • Release any beliefs, emotions, thoughts or values out of alignment • Develop new life contracts that align and light you up! Please note: This event is dedicated for individuals who identify as BIPOC women.

Sensual Embodiment Dance & Movement for Women

Sensual Embodiment Movement: Slowing Down & Creating Spark What magic can happen when we’re each given space to breathe, slow down, and be attuned to what feels good just for ourselves? As women, some of us may hold on to the belief that our bodies are not enough, or are too much. You are invited to accept and celebrate every shape, size, curve, and ability in you and a room full of remarkable others for the sacred practice of sensual embodiment movement. In sensual embodiment movement, we can: - Drop into self and deepen the connection and tenderness to ourselves. - Celebrate our beautiful bodies, hearts, and spirits. - Feel the invitation to evolve, expand, renew. - Witness ourselves and each other in a beautiful, supportive community. Sensual embodiment is a freestyle movement where deep presence, playfulness, and desire meet simultaneously. On Saturday, August 9th, we’ll build a sacred container to get curious, hold our bodies in reverence, move in ways that bring us back home to ourselves...and have fun! If you’re curious about centering your own desire and what feels good to YOU, join us on August 9 from 2-4 pm! Please note that this is dedicated space for women-identified individuals.

SHIFT: Buy now!

Welcome to Shift! This is a space where we explore books, podcasts, and ideas that can create small but meaningful shifts in our lives.

For July, let's watch and discuss Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy, a thought-provoking documentary on Netflix. We’ll also take a few moments to check in on how things are going with your accountability groups.

Looking ahead, our August read will be Why We Sleep, and later this year we'll be discussing How to Know a Person. Be sure to place holds on both books now as the wait time can be long.

Conflict Resolution Workshop

Conflict can induce anxiety, anger, and confusion. Yet, conflict is unavoidable in building authentic relationships and high functioning teams. Whether conflict is ultimately destructive or constructive depends on our ability to navigate the process of resolution.

Effective conflict resolution comprises a set of skills. Many of us were never taught these skills and therefore default to patterns like avoidance, dominance, and blame.

The good news is that like all skills, conflict resolution can be learned. In this workshop, we will introduce the mindset, processes, and tools needed to effectively handle conflict. You will come out better understanding why conflict occurs, how to find common ground, and how to come up with win-win solutions that work for everyone.

This workshop will be led by member Shu Liu, who has been teaching Nonviolent Communication (NVC) for the past 5 years.

It is open to all GroundFloor members who are willing to adopt a growth mindset towards communication and relating.

Please bring:
1. A conflict you're struggling with
2. Something to write on (can be digital)
3. A willingness to stretch towards vulnerability

Reiki Deep Relaxation Sessions

Attunements from North Coast Reiki are a fully immersive experience focusing on whole body and central nervous system relaxation. Amberlyn Simpson is a reiki master serving the Bay Area since 2022. She found real body and trauma healing through reiki and considers it a calling to share this powerful form of healing with others.

Our lives are full of stressors and ailments that can leave us disassociated from our bodies. Reiki attunements call us back to full integration and open us up to the body's power to heal itself. Reiki energy healing can address trauma, grief, stress, illness, or injury. Italso serves as an energy realignment through a deep body meditation.

Reiki sessions begin with a conversation about your intent or focus for the session. On a massage table with fresh blankets and eye masks provided, you will experience full immersion through a candle lit atmosphere of ocean sounds, driftwood incense, and singing bowls.

Sessions can be hands-off or hands-on depending upon your consent. Booked sessions are confirmed through the North Coast Reiki website and include discounted pricing of $40 per half hour and $80 per full hour session.

Founders Club: Sunday Coffee Chat

We like to say it's like a little dose of ‘group startup therapy’ every week! Come hang out, enjoy free snacks, and support your fellow founders. Feel free to message Vicki Powell with any snack requests :) See you on Sunday!

Board Game Club: Blood on the Clocktower

First Tuesdays Board Game Club features Blood on the Clocktower: an award-winning social deduction game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception for up to fifteen daring players led by a devious storyteller. Each month we have food and drink on hand - but you're always welcome to bring your own - don't rely on us for your dinner. :)

‼️ Blood on the Clocktower can take *three* hours to run, so please don’t make other plans for your evening - your presence will be required for the entirety of the game. Pizza will be provided.
‼️ We encourage players to watch this 10 minute introduction video on the rules ahead of the event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-aZP47Nm9g
‼️ Even more info & play guides: BotC website https://bloodontheclocktower.com

Each player receives either a ‘good’ or ‘evil’ token with their unique character and special ability on it. Good players share information to solve the mystery whilst evil players lie about who they are and what they know. The good team wins if they can piece together their knowledge, trust each other, and vote to execute the demon. The evil team wins if the demon can sow distrust, evade detection, and wipe out the village.

Being dead doesn’t remove you from the game, you can still discuss with fellow players, win (or lose!) with your team, and have one final ‘ghost’ vote to use before the end of the game. Sometimes it’s actually useful to be dead rather than alive!

Reiki Deep Relaxation Sessions

Attunements from North Coast Reiki are a fully immersive experience focusing on whole body and central nervous system relaxation. Amberlyn Simpson is a reiki master serving the Bay Area since 2022. She found real body and trauma healing through reiki and considers it a calling to share this powerful form of healing with others.

Our lives are full of stressors and ailments that can leave us disassociated from our bodies. Reiki attunements call us back to full integration and open us up to the body's power to heal itself. Reiki energy healing can address trauma, grief, stress, illness, or injury. It also serves as an energy realignment through a deep body meditation.

Reiki sessions begin with a conversation about your intent or focus for the session. On a massage table with fresh blankets and eye masks provided, you will experience full immersion through a candle lit atmosphere of ocean sounds, driftwood incense, and singing bowls.

Sessions can be hands-off or hands-on depending upon your consent. Booked sessions are confirmed through the North Coast Reiki website and include discounted pricing of $40 per half hour and $80 per full hour session.

Beyond Belief: An Introduction to Conscious Reality Creation

What You'll Experience: - Experiential exercises that demonstrate immediate shifts in awareness and perspective - A taste of what it means to become the conscious architect of your own reality - Insights into the invisible operating system that creates your thoughts and experiences - An introduction to Avatar - consciousness engineering for real life **About This Workshop:** Join us for an experiential introduction to Avatar, a systematic approach to awareness training that works at the level of consciousness itself. Rather than just changing thoughts or emotions, Avatar helps you discover and work with the invisible beliefs that create them. This isn't positive thinking or basic mindfulness - it's learning to operate the creative mechanism that underlies all experience. Many Avatar graduates find that whatever spiritual or personal development work they're already drawn to becomes more powerful and precise because they're now engaging from a source level of conscious participation. We'll explore why the most profound transformations often come from elegant simplicity rather than complex systems. Through guided exercises and mind-expanding discussions, you'll begin to sense what it feels like to work as the conscious architect of your own reality. Whether your path includes meditation, energy work, breathwork, shadow work, or any other methodology that calls to you, Avatar can deepen your capacity to consciously participate in the journey that most inspires you. If you're drawn to explore further, individual sessions will be available to experience how these tools apply to specific situations in your life. Come curious. Leave expanded.

Inner Work Club

Join the Inner Work Club for a magical evening!

🌾 Gentle Shadow Work for Cultivating EASE

What if ease wasn't something to earn, but something to remember inside ourselves?

What if you didn't have to work so hard? You could just.... have it?

In this month's Inner Work Club, we’ll explore why ease can feel so out of reach—and how to begin gently shifting the internal patterns that keep us bracing, pushing, or over-efforting.

We’ll use guided reflection, explorative somatic practices, and gentle shadow work inquiry to examine the parts of us that believe ease is dangerous, lazy, out-of-touch, or undeserved—and reconnect with the wise ones within who already know the wisdom of softening.

This session is a nourishing lead-in to the upcoming Shadow Work for Cultivating Ease retreat (7/27) and will include space for personal insight, group dialogue, and a take-home practices.

What to bring:
- Journal & pen

What to wear:
- comfy clothing

No prior experience with shadow work or somatics is needed—just a willingness to get curious!

Intuitive Collage

Intuitive Collage Workshop

Join us for a soulful workshop led by Marion, an experienced mixed media artist. Many people ask her, "How do you create these images? Do you have a vision first, or do you choose the images and let them guide you?" To answer these questions, Marion has crafted an engaging offering to share her skills.

In this workshop, you will explore the art of creating from a place of intuition, rather than agenda. Marion will guide you through the basics of composition, color theory, image selection, and connecting with your inner creative flow. This workshop is designed for artists of all levels who wish to tap into their creativity and intuition, and engage in a process of self-expression. It's a wonderful way to ground, integrate life experiences, and receive insight.

What to Expect:

The workshop will begin with a 10-minute meditation and a movement exercise to awaken creative energy, followed by brief introductions. Marion will then talk about color theory, balance, and composition to help guide you in creating your collage.

You will have access to a selection of collage materials and paints. Please bring images of your liking and small scissors to complement and create your artwork. Marion will offer guidance throughout the process.

At the end, we will come together in a circle to share our creations. While the aesthetic aspects of the artwork will be acknowledged, the focus of our sharing will be on the meaning and emotional resonance behind each piece. This is a space for vulnerability, connection, and non-judgment, where your unique creative expression is valued above all.

Limited to 12 participants—please register early to reserve your spot. Venmo donation of up to $25 is appreciated to cover the time, energy and supplies: @RutaSegal (Venmo). Thank you! For non-members, the contribution is $35.

This is an opportunity not only to learn new mixed-media techniques, but also to connect with your inner self, tune into your intuition, and make new friends. Let the art of collage to reveal new pathways of seeing and being.

We look forward to creating with you!

Entering the Cave of Pythia: a dreamwork workshop

This is a space to explore the wild creativity of the dreamscape - entering the dream cave to explore our mysteries.

Pythia, so the story goes, is the priestess caretaker of Pythos, the serpent who lives at the center of the Earth. From the cave’s vapors the priestess receives oracular messages. So too is the dreamscape a space for entering the numinous dark of the psyche’s caves to receive instruction. Images and sensations found in dreams provide a universal language that spans culture, time, place, and even constructs of reality. Through speaking the language of the dream realm, one builds connection to self, soul and spirit that brings belonging and authenticity. 

The dream is the mytho-poetic language that underlies our waking reality. The liminal language of dream can help to re-write and re-imagine our stories and imagine new realities. 

In this dream workshop, you’ll receive tools for working with dreams and a safe and intimate space in community to share dreams through dialogue, art and somatic movement. We'll explore dreams through creativity and conversation. Bring a dream that intrigues, baffles or bores you, and a journal to record dream notes and interpretations. Wear comfy clothes to explore gentle movement and somatic practice.

Ritual Club

First Monday of every month 

6:30-8:30pm

Cultivating connection, depth and sacred space through community ritual.

In our modern, hyper-independent world, we've lost sight of the crucial role that community witnessing and processing play in our overall sense of well-being and connectedness. Ritual is a sacred container where we come together to embrace the fullness of our human experience, cultivate authentic presence, and support each other's journey of self-discovery and transformation.

Each monthly gathering explores a specific theme related to personal growth, emotional healing, and spiritual awakening. Through a structured process of guided meditation, reflective prompts, and small group sharing, we create a safe, nurturing container for deep inner work and soul-nourishing connection.

Some of the core focus areas we explore include:

Navigating life's challenges and transitions with grace and resilience

Cultivating self-compassion, acceptance, and loving-kindness

Reconnecting with our inner wisdom, intuition, and authentic voice

Healing past wounds, ancestral patterns, traumas, and limiting beliefs

Awakening to our soul's purpose and unique gifts

Embodying mindfulness, presence, and conscious awareness

Fostering meaningful connections and a sense of belonging

Restoring connectedness with nature

In this supportive space, we have the opportunity to be seen, heard, and held in our full humanity. Through the power of community reflection and mirroring, we gain new insights, perspectives, and resources to support our ongoing growth and transformation.

Whether you're seeking greater self-understanding, emotional resilience, or spiritual alignment, Ritual offers a sanctuary for your soul. Here, you'll find a circle of kindred spirits who honor the sacredness in all of life and celebrate the beauty, complexity, and wisdom of the human journey.

All are welcome, regardless of background or belief. Come as you are, with a willingness to show up authentically, respect others and embrace the transformative power of sacred community ritual. Let's gather together to witness, process, and support each other's unfolding with compassion, curiosity, and open hearts.

August's book is a classic from 1993: Nobody's Fool, by Richard Russo Richard Russo's slyly funny and moving novel follows the unexpected operation of grace in a deadbeat town in upstate New York—and in the life of one of its unluckiest citizens, Sully, who has been doing the wrong thing triumphantly for fifty years. Divorced from his own wife and carrying on halfheartedly with another man's, saddled with a bum knee and friends who make enemies redundant, Sully now has one new problem to cope with: a long-estranged son who is in imminent danger of following in his father's footsteps. With its sly and uproarious humor and a heart that embraces humanity's follies as well as its triumphs, Nobody's Fool is storytelling at its most generous. Nobody's Fool was also made into a movie starring Paul Newman, Bruce Willis, Jessica Tandy, and Melody Griffith. ***** Our discussion for this book may include the following themes: - Independence vs. Connection - Fate vs. Free Will - Generational Trauma - Masculinity and Relationships Please note that this book is on the longer side, so you may want to start reading it early! And, everyone is welcome to come, regardless if you've read the book (there will be no quiz), but beware that there will likely be spoilers.
