Fresh Sounds presents another Library Sessions - more info TBD :)

Hi friends!

Come hike, enjoy flower fields, see some horses, talk with the trees, yap with your fellow humans, and see a pretty view of downtown.

The hike is fairly easy with some elevation, is about 1 - 1.5 hours long, and is dog friendly. We'll meet in the morning before it gets too hot, and take as many breaks as people need.

We'll meet at the Elysian Park West Loop trailhead sign. There is parking on the streets nearby and a parking lot a short walk away. It can get crowded, but I think it's early enough that it shouldn't be too hard.

Here's the All Trails link:

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.

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 Thursdays, 5:15–7:00pm*

Join us for a laid-back July evening celebrating natural & organic wines! Bring a bottle that’s free from added chemicals and made with minimal intervention. Fun fact: natural wine sales have skyrocketed over 200% in the past five years as drinkers chase authenticity! 🍇✨

Did you know the SF Bay Area is a major pioneer in this movement? Local winemakers and urban natural wine bars have helped turn our region into a global hub for clean, quirky, and delicious sips.

We’ll start with quick intros—share why you picked your pour (1–2 mins)—then sip through a delicious spread of snacks designed to complement every funky, fresh, and fabulous flavor. Think crunchy crudités, savory bites, and tasty nibbles.

Grab your favorite bottle, and let’s toast to clean sips and good vibes! 🥂🌱

Join us for an afternoon of resilience and connection. This gathering offers a nurturing space to express ourselves through various artistic mediums while sipping Corpse Reviver, a sparkling tea-based electrolyte drink, to complement your mood and creative journey.

We'll provide an assortment of art supplies, including:

Acrylic Paints and canvas
Beautiful mandala coloring pages for mindful creation
Materials for crafting and collaging intention cards
Watercolor paints and pads
A Corpse Reviver tasting bar for every mood

This is an opportunity to create images and artwork that reflect the courage we demonstrate in our daily lives and the strength we share with each other. Through art, we can express the small acts of bravery that shape our everyday experiences - from facing challenges at work to showing up for loved ones, from trying new things to standing up for what matters to us.

Our mood-inspired Corpse Reviver bar will feature flavors to match whatever you're feeling: Botanical for calming, grounding moments of reflection, Berry Hibiscus for an energizing lift during creative bursts, and Guava Rose for an uplifting, celebratory sip - or try the Variety pack to sample it all and stay present in the moment. Every can is sparkling tea-based with electrolytes, L-theanine, magnesium, potassium, and zinc, so you can pick the flavor that matches your current state of mind, or the feeling you'd like to cultivate while creating.

All skill levels welcome. While we'll have various art supplies available, please feel free to bring any personal craft projects you're currently working on. This is a judgment-free space to express yourself, connect with others, and celebrate our shared journey of resilience.

Perfect For
✨Art enthusiasts wanting to connect with others
✨Wellness seekers interested in functional beverages
✨Corpse Reviver fans (or the curious) looking for a mindful alternative to traditional drinks
✨Creative minds who enjoy hands-on crafting
✨Health-conscious drinkers seeking sparkling, low-calorie sips

Take Home: A Corpse Reviver can be enjoyed later, plus a wellness benefits card explaining the electrolyte blend (magnesium, potassium, L-theanine, zinc, sodium) and what each one supports.

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!"

The writer's circle is a group of Groundfloor members who convene on the 2nd Tuesday of the month for creative writing and connection.

How does it work?
We choose a topic, share optional resources (video/articles/podcasts, etc.) and discussion questions in advance to establish a shared context, and then have a lightly moderated discussion along with potluck-style drinks and snacks. Expect some time to socialize before and after the official discussion.

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.

Bring your own meal and gather 'round the table for our weekly Community Lunch! It's a great opportunity to meet new members or connect with friends. See you there, all are welcome!

We love our clothing swaps and thanks to the GF community we will do it again! This time we are going to beef it up even more -this isn’t just for the ladies! Men you are welcome too! Please bring men’s and children’s clothes! We will donate all the leftovers. 

I would LOVE to have 1 volunteer to help me load and drop off the clothes - it has been a lot on my own please let me know if you are up to it! :)

Please bring all your gently used clothes, shoes, and accessories that no longer belong with you! Whether you have summer favorites you’re ready to pass along or cozy winter pieces to trade, this event is all about sharing and discovering new-to-you styles.

It’s more than just swapping clothes—it’s a chance to connect with the community, find unique pieces, and enjoy the spirit of sharing. AND we can also HELP!

Come meet new friends, explore fresh fashion finds, and give your preloved items a new home. This is a great way to clear out what you don’t need and find something you’ll love. Let’s make fashion fun and sustainable together!

Join the Inner Work Club as we welcome you into the Velvet Observatory: an immersive dance experience where spiritual seekers gather to transform through myth, movement, and music.

From there, move freely in a curated dance journey by DJ Ciana, and land softly with an integrative sound bath by Sanaz Sounds.

Costumes are encouraged—come adorned, expressive, and ready to explore.

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.

Join us for book club! We are reading Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. Yesteryear is a novel about a "tradwife" influencer who wakes up to find herself in 1855, forced to live the harsh reality of 19th-century farm life, contrasting sharply with her curated online persona. The book explores themes of motherhood, fame, faith, and the performance of traditional gender roles, with a plot that follows her struggle to escape her nightmarish new reality. It's a social commentary on influencer culture, with film rights sold to Amazon MGM Studios.
