Ultimate Werewolf Board Game Night

Join the Los Angeles Ultimate Werewolf Game Meetup Group for a fun-filled evening of social deduction games!
Ultimate Werewolf is an interactive game (part card game/part board game-similar to Mafia if you’ve ever played that) of deduction for two teams: the village team and the wolf team. Players on the village team don't know who the wolves are, and the wolves are trying to remain undiscovered while they slowly eliminate players on the village team one at a time. Each player receives a card with their role at the beginning. If it sounds confusing, everything will be walked through at the beginning.
Whether you're a seasoned werewolf player or completely new to the game, this event is perfect for making new friends and testing your wits against others in a thrilling game of deception. Bring your best strategies and alliances as you navigate through the hidden identities and attempt to uncover the werewolves among us.
Not only will you have the chance to play Werewolf, but you'll also have the opportunity to socialize with fellow game enthusiasts in a welcoming and friendly environment. So come out, sharpen your skills, and enjoy a night of engaging gameplay and laughter with the Los Angeles Werewolf Meetup Group.

New Moon Ritual

"Turning Toward the Light Within”
Monday, December 16 · 6:30 - 7:45 PM

Led by Sandra D, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, this is a safe space for sensitives, seekers, and deep-feeling beings.
No experience needed. Just bring your breath, your presence, and your curiosity.

As the year winds down and the outer world asks more of our energy, this New Moon offers a sacred pause.
A chance to gather, reflect, and remember who we are beneath the roles, the noise, and the expectations.

This month's ritual is inspired by the presence of an interstellar visitor still gliding through our solar system.
Many speak of this comet as a turning point for consciousness on Earth.

Through breath, guided imagery, and shared intention, we’ll slow down…
release what no longer serves…
and plant seeds for a new cycle of inner clarity and collective connection.

✨ What to Expect:
• Grounding & Oil Anointing
• Guided Somatic journey to let go of old patterns
• Imagery Activation to call in new vision
• Collective Consciousness Attunement
• Journaling prompts & Fire release
• A moment of stillness before the new cycle begins.

🕯 Bring:
• Journal & pen
• Water or tea
• Optional: eye mask, talisman/crystal, blanket

Book Club: Perfection and Bottle Factory Outing [two short books!]

For December, we will be reading two short books! Come and talk books with us - you could read one or both - we'd love to have you either way.

Perfection: A scathing, provocative novel about contemporary existence by a rising star in Italian literature.

Anna and Tom, an expat couple, have fashioned a dream life for themselves in Berlin. They are young digital "creatives" exploring the excitements of the city, freelancers without too many constraints, who spend their free time cultivating house plants and their images online. At first, they reasonably deduce that they've turned their passion for aesthetics into a viable, even enviable career, but the years go by, and Anna and Tom grow bored. As their friends move back home or move on, so their own work and sex life—and the life of Berlin itself—begin to lose their luster. An attempt to put their politics into action fizzles in embarrassed self-doubt. Edging closer to forty, they try living as digital nomads only to discover that, wherever they go, "the brand of oat milk in their flat whites was the same."

The Bottle Factory Outing: Short-listed for the Booker Prize and named 'one of the greatest novels of all time' by The Observer , this riveting novel shows Beryl Bainbridge at her darkly comic best. Freda and Brenda spend their days working in an Italian-run wine-bottling factory. A work outing offers promise for Freda and terror from Brenda; passions run high on that chilly day of freedom, and life after the outing never returns to normal. Inspired by author Beryl Bainbridge's own experiences working at a London wine-factory in the 1970s, The Bottle Factory Outing examines issues of friendship and consent, making the novel timelier than ever. Readers will be dazzled by this offbeat, haunting yet hilarious Guardian fiction prize-winning novel.

Clarity with AI: Reimagining your Workflow

Clarity with AI: Reimagining Your Workflow is a hands-on workshop designed to help you discover practical, meaningful ways to incorporate AI into your everyday work. We’ll begin by sharing a real example of how AI has streamlined a task in our own workflow, then break into small groups to brainstorm one task you could automate or enhance using AI. You’ll explore possibilities, exchange ideas, and walk away with a clear, personalized starting point for applying AI tools with intention and impact. This session is all about gaining clarity, sparking creativity, and reimagining how you work.
