We’re all prone to anxiety—it’s a normal and protective emotion. But when it overtakes us, we live in our [often untrue] thoughts, the body becomes dysregulated, and we get disconnected from life.

What to expect:
🪷 Grounding Yoga Pranayama (breathwork) & Asana (postures) – to regulate the nervous system and reduce restless energy
🌀 Meditation for the Overthinking Mind –to quiet racing thoughts, while learning cognitive defusion, a technique to not get lost in our mind’s narratives.
❇️ Mindfulness of Sound & Sound Bath – immersing in healing vibrations to release tension, practice sound as an anchor, and invite deep relaxation.
Wear comfortable clothes and arrive a few minutes early to set up. Yoga mats are available, but feel free to bring your own. Optional: a journal and pen.
This workshop is part of the Mindful Flow Series, a collection of workshops weaving together Eastern healing traditions and Western psychotherapy to increase resilience and cultivate ease.

Somatic Movement Workshop with Stephanie Parker
Nia is a low-impact, low-pressure movement practice rooted in ancient forms of energetic healing and release including Tai Chi, Yoga, and African dance. Whether you’re an experienced mover or beginner, or need some modifications, this somatically attuned workshop is for you. With Nia, we move at the speed of the nervous system, devoting ample time to warm-up, cool-down & stretching. We also learn somatic nervous system regulation techniques you can take home to add to your own practice. Nia with Stephanie will leave you feeling refreshed, relaxed, and mentally clear.
Stephanie Parker (she/her) is a Black Queer somatic practitioner and licensed Nia instructor based in Oakland, California. She is a graduate of Stanford University (B.A., M.A.), and worked at Google for 9 years before being called to the path of ancestral healing. Stephanie creates safe, affirming, sacred, decolonial spaces, guiding in a nonhierarchical way that allows collective wisdom to emerge from the group. Stephanie's journey as a healer began with her own body’s divine act of refusal in the form of severe upper body-wide nerve pain, a condition that led her to step away from both her social justice organizing work and decade-long career in the tech industry. Stephanie’s search for relief led her to her first Nia Dance class, where she experienced the physical release of trapped emotions, loving intergenerational community, and the embodied sensation of feeling both freedom and safety at the same time. It was this spirit-led encounter that served as a catalyst for her decision to walk in her purpose. You can learn more about Stephanie and her offerings on her website, and on Instagram at @catchlight27.

* 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 talk 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!
Of course, no evening is complete without our usual delectable charcuterie spread. Let’s celebrate harvest, clink glasses, and savor the best of California! 🥂

What Should We Solve, Together? A Civic Gathering at Groundfloor on What Matters Most
A Civic Gathering at Groundfloor on What Matters Most
Oakland is full of wisdom — and people ready to act. What’s missing is a space to listen deeply, identify the problems that matter most, and collaborate across lines to solve them.
This gathering is the first step in a broader community-led civic process. Together, we’ll:
• Share what really matters to you, as an Oaklander
• Explore what’s possible across neighborhoods, backgrounds, and sectors
• Experience and experiment with inclusive practices and tools
(like this interactive Pol.is survey > https://bit.ly/OaklandCivicSolutions2025)
• Discover opportunities to meet with community members, leaders, media, and policymakers.
Facilitated by a local team of community organizers and civic innovators, we invite you to come and be heard. This is not a listening session— come ready to build something together.
Whether you’re a resident, activist, small biz owner, journalist, policymaker, or just someone who cares — your voice belongs here.
We aim to create a welcoming and transformative space where people feel heard, discover shared priorities, and want to build toward solutions together. Join us at the beginning — your voice shapes this ongoing experiment in real democracy for the East Bay.
==
Event hosted by Real Democracy & East Bay Civic Hub. Let’s find out what matters, and build from the ground floor.
Event is free and open to all local attendees. You don’t do not need to be a member of Groundfloor to attend, and welcome you as a guest.
Snacks to be provided.

Defeat Your Arch Nemesis - How To Get Out Of Your Own Way
“The only thing in your way is you.” You’ve probably heard that saying, but thought to yourself “Okay, but how?"
Leadership Coach Michael Tertes starts by calling the part of us that’s in our way our Arch Nemesis a.k.a. saboteur, gremlin, head bully, negative mind chatter etc. When our Arch Nemesis gets to run the show it can influence every aspect of our lives. It eats at our confidence, keeps us stuck, frustrated and often confused. Bottom line, it impacts our ability to fully express ourselves, find fulfillment and have the impact we’re here to have.
During this participatory and powerful workshop Michael will teach you how to “get out of your own way” by identifying the specific, sneaky strategies and tactics your Arch Nemesis uses against you. From there, you'll learn Michael’s five most powerful moves to defeat your Arch Nemesis; allowing you to more freely, powerfully and consistently move towards the life, career or relationships you truly desire.

Afternoon Bliss Yoga Nidra
Join this class to completely relax and bliss out the mind and body. Yoga Nidra, known as "yogic sleep," is a portal between the conscious and unconscious mind, guiding you through deep rest and inner exploration. As you relax in savasana, this ancient practice leads you through the five layers of self (pancha maya kosha), awakening your innate wisdom and inviting a profound sense of wholeness. By accessing delta brainwaves, the state responsible for deep healing and restoration, Yoga Nidra allows your mind and body to regenerate while awake, offering a powerful path to clarity, balance, and inner healing. Your Yoga Nidra practice will support you to feel well-rested even if you are not getting consistent or deep sleep. It will guide you into a deeply relaxed physical state while grounding you back into your body and may improve sleep by reducing stress and pain.
Gentle sounds of crystal bowls and chimes will accompany the journey, enhancing relaxation and deepening your connection within. Through breath, visualization, sound and effortless stillness, you’ll enter a space where healing and insight unfold naturally. Come ready to rest, restore, and reconnect with the essence of your being. This is a non-movement guided meditation class.

Soma Movement
Soma Movement with Sara ( A Somatic Practice to Deepen Embodied Awareness) - included with your membership!
Join Sara Hess once a month for a 90-minute class in somatic movement. This is an exploratory approach to physical practice that emphasizes internal awareness, nervous system integration, and re-patterning through repetition and focused attention.
While some shapes may resemble yoga, this is not a yoga class. Rather than moving through set sequences or aiming for external form, you’ll be guided to explore how movement feels from the inside. This process-oriented approach supports and informs your yoga practice while standing on its own as a distinct modality.
Each session focuses on a specific theme or area of inquiry, offering a clear framework for movement, attention, and embodied learning.
This class is designed for anyone interested in how the body learns, adapts, and refines itself through sensing, repetition, and awareness.
Reserve your spot and join us monthly to move with purpose, clarity, and curiosity.

Business Club (Connect + Collab)
Business Club is a monthly networking and peer mentoring opportunity for all professionals and creatives to connect, exchange ideas, and problem solve over their morning cuppa.
The meetings are facilitated by Sophie Davies to ensure everyone has equal time to introduce themselves and ask for what they need.
How it works: After introductions the group breaks out into smaller groups to allow everyone to share “an ask” through peer mentoring with your makeshift advisory board. “Your ask” can be a specific idea that you need feedback on or a challenge you need help with.
This work-related inclusive club is for everyone who understands that while we tend to work individually, we regularly encounter the same work challenges and believe that collectively we are stronger when we support each other and figure things out together.
These gatherings are limited to 20 people, so please commit to staying for the duration of the session.

Book Club: Demon Copperhead
September's book club discussion will be Demon Copperhead.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Barbara Kingsolver's book is a brilliant novel that enthralls, compels, and captures the heart as it evokes a young hero’s unforgettable journey to maturity.
Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses. Through all of it, he reckons with his own invisibility in a popular culture where even the superheroes have abandoned rural people in favor of cities.
Many generations ago, Charles Dickens wrote David Copperfield from his experience as a survivor of institutional poverty and its damages to children in his society. Those problems have yet to be solved in ours. Dickens is not a prerequisite for readers of this novel, but he provided its inspiration. In transposing a Victorian epic novel to the contemporary American South, Barbara Kingsolver enlists Dickens’ anger and compassion, and above all, his faith in the transformative powers of a good story. Demon Copperhead speaks for a new generation of lost boys, and all those born into beautiful, cursed places they can’t imagine leaving behind.
*********
As usual, come prepared to talk about the book. Ideally, it would be good to finish it, but we won't kick you out if you just want to come and hang with us and talk about topics from the book, like:
- Systemic poverty and class barriers
- Addiction and the opioid crisis
- Resilience and human dignity
