Pitch A Friend!

Dating is a dumpster fire, so we figured… why not widen the pool and help set each other up with our eligible, wonderful, non-GF-member friends? :)

How does it work?
Fill out the form at the bottom of this page, and Karla + Cass will reach out if you’ve been selected to present your friend to the group. Those selected will be allotted a 3 minute time slot to present their friend to the group with a visual presentation

While we only have room for a limited number of presentations, there will also be a mix-and-mingle portion after the event where members and non-members alike can meet, chat, flirt, and connect. Even if you aren't selected to present, you are still encouraged to bring your single friend for mingling! Our goal is to create a fun, low-pressure night where good people can meet organically. No weirdos, please!

If you are selected and for any reason you or your candidate cannot make the event, please let Karla + Cass know so they can make accommodations.

BYOB!

Earth Day Music Fest

Fresh Sounds presents Earth Day Music Fest, a daytime celebration of music, art, community, and environmental stewardship, with 100% of proceeds benefiting Echo Park Trash Club. Why Earth Day in June? Because Earth Day is EVERY DAY!

Join us for an afternoon filled with live performances from 6 local musical acts, family-friendly activities, local vendors, flash tattoos, Valendez Tacos, and plenty of neighbors who care about helping all members of our community live in a more hygienic Los Angeles.

If you've ever joined one of our community cleanups, or attended Earth Day Music Fest in Silver Lake last year, you know this event is about more than just great music. It's about bringing people together, supporting local artists and small businesses, and investing directly in the communities we call home. As a volunteer-run organization, EPTC is dedicated to cleaning up with compassion. We are not a formal nonprofit, so events like this help fund the supplies, equipment, and resources that keep our monthly cleanups going. We're also hoping to raise enough money to host another community hygiene kit assembly day, providing essential items to neighbors who need them most.

Come celebrate Earth Day with us and help us continue cleaning up with compassion.

Healing-Centered Financial Wellness Series

Nobody teaches us how to talk about money let alone manage it.
This is a space to change that.

For the longest time I carried shame, comparison, jealousy, confusion and anxiety around money but worked relentlessly to understand and heal my relationship to it by talking with a variety of people (from stale pale male financial advisors to friends who had very little to friends who had a lot, etc) and actively managing it.
If you'd like to feel lighter around money and learn about it too, please join this small, intimate group for real talk, practical tools, and honest community around your relationship with money.

No shaming and no gatekeeping, just the conversations we should’ve been having all along. <3

Each session stands alone and builds on the others. We rotate through four core topics:

Rotating Healing-Centered Money Topics:
Money Convos — Let's talk about "it". Where did your money story come from? What's still running the show?

Money Audit Somatics — Getting clear on what's actually happening with your money (without the shame spiral)

Investing 101 — Just the tip :) Learn something, teach something, or maybe even make your first investment. Investing is a tool that should be made accessible to everyone.

Money & the Mind — Because the math is actually the easy part...
This is a revolving series — sessions repeat so you can join whenever you're ready and attend any 4 sessions that work for your schedule.

When: 1st and 3rd Tuesdays, 5:15–7:00pm*

Step Into Your Power As A Public Speaker

Strengthen your power and presence as a public speaker through embodied strategic practices rooted in neuroscience and clinical psychology This workshop is open to everyone, and centers BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent and survivor communities. Do you feel anxious before presenting — and wish you could speak with more clarity and confidence? Strengthen your power and presence as a public speaker through embodied strategic practices rooted in neuroscience, clinical psychology and art therapy. Whether you’re preparing for an investor pitch, a high-stakes client meeting, or a job interview, the way you speak shapes how you’re perceived and what gets heard. Public speaking isn’t just about what you say — it’s about how you prepare your mind, body, and nervous system to show up with presence and power. In this interactive and experiential workshop, Melissa Andrada (mel—they/them)—a survivor of big T trauma and CEO of Fairground, a global mental health collective—alongside facilitator Sol Garcia Jones, will guide you through trauma-informed embodied practices and creative strategies grounded in neuroscience and clinical psychology. You’ll learn how to access your authentic leadership voice, regulate performance anxiety, and speak with greater ease and impact. Drawing from clinical psychology and leadership development, this session invites you to reclaim your voice — not just as a communication tool, but as a reflection of your power, presence, and purpose. You’ll leave with: Practical tools to manage anxiety and nervous system before and during speaking Somatic strategies to ground yourself with confidence before high-stakes presentations Creative ways to authentically and joyfully connect with the audience in your delivery through mind, body and spirit Supportive space to practice your public speaking skills through invitational prompts Testimonials "Mel and Bree dazzled at the Out in Tech Leadership Institute in NYC, bringing their special brand of expertise, socio-emotional depth, and practical tips for powerful public speaking. Mel even gave me a personal consultation before my remarks that evening, boosting my confidence to be vulnerable in front of a key audience." Andrew Lowenthal Executive Director, Out in Tech "From the beginning of the workshop, it was clear that I'd come to the right place. "You set a warm and welcoming atmosphere by doing a few things: setting expectations that the group would be welcoming supportive and affirming (somehow you did this without being preachy or super rules based), you spoke in a controlled yet warm gently paced manner; you shared your own journey including your challenges with public speaking going from being a painfully shy young student to holding court in front of hundreds of corporate employees and also a big part of your "why," your beloved father's memory. All of this established trust and credibility. The exercises that you showed us, being in touch with our bodies and understanding the connection with our nervous systems and our voices were rich. Above all it instilled confidence that I can apply these tools and put them to work to fuel my journey. I came away incredibly inspired and uplifted. It was truly an impactful, rewarding, dynamic interactive learning experience. I wish I could take it over again!"

Witchy Pomodoro Power Hour

Join us as we light a candle and put the Pomodoro Method into practice!

The Pomodoro Method is a proven focus technique that uses 20-minute work intervals followed by 5-minute breaks. During our time together, we'll move through a series of focused work sprints designed to help you make meaningful progress on the projects, tasks, and creative endeavors calling for your attention.

What makes it "witchy"? Because everything is more fun with a little magic!

We'll begin by setting an intention for our work, then harness the power of collective focus, and ritualized action to tend the things we're creating. Depending on the day - what's alive for the group - we can inspiration from moon phases, a special card deck, Rachael's magical rune set, or make up our own ritual to get us in the mood to create. 🪄

10am - Opening / Intention Setting
10:10am - Begin Pomodoro sprints
11:45 - Closing

Join for part of the session or stay for the full two hours.

Game Day 🎲♟️

>> Come play some great games with some great people. Bring a game to share. Learn a new game. Compete and cooperate. You know the drill… and the thrill. We’re not playing Sorry or Monopoly here. Think Carcassonne or Azul or Settlers of Catan. Not necessarily those games, but solid strategy games that exercise your mind, but leave room for lots of socializing between turns. Many games max out at four players. For those, we will divide into groups. And, for the big group games, such as Code Names or Wavelength, we’ll get the whole crowd together for a good time… and some good laughs. Stay late and maybe Cards Against Humanity will come out 😈 Question: Why game day and not game night? Answer: Nights are too short, people have a cocktail, and then no one has the energy to learn a new game. Are you game?? Sign up now!
