Sound Bath
April 14th • 6:30 – 7:20 pm
Join us at our studio for a deeply calming sound bath with Certified Sound Practitioner and Senior Life Coach, Clara Belden. Sound Baths are a meditative, multisensory, and unique experience in which participants are bathed in the vibration of various instruments while lying down. Unlike other forms of meditation, Sound Baths focus on ambient sounds, rather than silence or a guided practice to reach a new state of tranquility.
This lie-down meditation encourages deep relaxation, allowing you to unplug and find release. We encourage you to bring a mat, a blanket, pillows, eye coverings, or whatever helps you to settle into rest.
All are welcome to our space to enjoy the benefits. Whether you are curious about sound meditation or meditation in general, seeking to deepen your practice, or are just in need of an evening to reset, Clara will be your guide into a transformative practice of sound healing.
Support Group
April 15th • 12 – 1 pm
Navigating the complexities of caring for individuals with neurodivergent conditions such as autism, dyslexia, ADHD, and more can be both deeply rewarding and immensely challenging.

Our support group offers a nurturing space for parents to share experiences, insights, and coping strategies.
In this meeting, led by therapist, Hannah Schonewill, you’ll find solace in knowing you are not alone. We’ll discuss practical tips for improving daily routines, managing behavioral differences, and accessing resources such as specialized therapies and educational support. Beyond practical advice, we foster a sense of community where mutual support and empathy thrive.

Most of us know what matters, but do we use our values intentionally when life gets complicated? This small, closed group helps you do just that.

Week 1 Identification & Alignment: Clarify your top values and start noticing them in real time.
Week 2 Conflict: Learn to recognize and navigate values clashes.
Week 3 Transition: Honor changing values without losing your footing.

Support & Healing
Next circle April 28th • 5:30 – 6:45 pm
Grief can feel isolating, but you don’t have to move through it alone. Join us one Tuesday each month at The Happy Hour for a gentle Grief Circle gathering led by Ann Sensing.
Each circle begins with a grounding meditation, followed by time in a supportive, confidential space to share, listen, and connect with others who understand the complexity of loss. We’ll close the evening with a brief sound bath to help the body settle and integrate.
Whether your grief is recent or long-held, whether you feel like talking or simply being present, you are welcome here. This is a space to build community, honor your experience, and tend to healing—at your own pace.
Group meets monthly: 4/28, 5/26

Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Starts May 4th • 5 – 7 pm
Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT is a type of therapy that’s super helpful for people who want to improve their response to whatever their day throws at them. If you find yourself having strong reactions to events that come up in your day, like a strong emotional response, reactions you regret later, spiraling thoughts, or a total derailment of your day, the strategies and tools in DBT might be helpful to you. Basically, DBT helps you learn how to find more ease and flow within your day by promoting mindfulness and acceptance. You learn how to accept yourself and your life as it is, while also figuring out how to change the things that aren’t working for you. It’s like a toolkit for dealing with tough emotions, stressful relationships, or activating situations.
Alongside the support and fellowship of others, we are hosting a 4-session group process that aims to help individuals with self-discovery, and a positive shift in emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. This empowering and supportive community is designed for individuals seeking to enhance their emotional well-being, reshape their perceptions of daily life, and cultivate meaningful connections.
How does DBT work?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a comprehensive and evidence-based approach that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness principles. Do you find that inconveniences, unexpected changes to your schedule, or an unpleasant experience triggers a cascade of spiraling thoughts that derail your day? Do you need help fostering more resilience so that you can handle obstacles within your day? Do you wish to find practical tools instead of regretting your response after the fact? DBT might be for you.
What can I expect?
In DBT 101, you’ll find a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals come together to learn and practice valuable skills that can be integrated daily for self-regulation. This group is going to be led by Amy Narusas, an experienced and compassionate licensed clinical social worker who has years of experience with teaching DBT principles.
The sessions cover six essential modules:
Intro to DBT
Mindfulness
Distress Tolerance
Emotion Regulation
Interpersonal Effectiveness
Wrap Up
Group meets: 5/4, 5/11, 5/15, 6/1
