Beat Procrastination and Creative Blocks

You know that state of mind where you forget about time and space and become completely focused on whatever you’re working on? That's called the FLOW, and it feels great but can be difficult to achieve consistently on your own. Through the power of mono-tasking, rituals, body doubling, and power breaks, we’ll reach the FLOW together, and you’ll be surprised by what you’ll have gotten done at the end of the day. So how does it work? We’ll have a series of 50-minute bursts of focused, mono-tasking work. Every burst will be separated by quick 10-minute breaks. After 2 bursts, we’ll have a longer break, where we’ll share a meal (remember to bring your own lunch) and socialize before diving into the last two bursts. Switching off notifications, focusing on a single task at a time, being surrounded by people doing the same, and not keeping track of time will help you reach the FLOW. Essentially, getting days' worth of work done in just four hours. Let's get those procrastinated tasks done and beat creative blocks TOGETHER! Here is what our session will look like: 10:30 - 10:45: introduction 10:45 - 11:35: first rush 11:35 - 11:45: short break 11:45 - 12:35: second rush 12:35 - 01:05: lunch break 01:05 - 01:55: third rush 01:55 - 02:05: short break 02:05 - 02:55: last rush 02:55 - 03:10: outro You are welcome to join for just one rush or stay for the whole session; we just ask you to enter or leave the room only during breaks to prevent distraction for the other participants.

TEDx Watch Party

You may know Jeff Harry, a former Groundfloor Member who wore a LEGO Bow Tie. Did you know he gave a TEDx talk!? Well, he misses the Groundfloor Oakland energy and is coming back to host a watch party! Join us. Message from Jeff: Have you ever felt terrified to share something you’ve created? That is exactly how I felt about my TEDx Talk. When a friend suggested I host a watch party, I initially thought it was a terrible idea. However, I believe so deeply in the power of play to heal our communities that I realized my "nerv-cited" feelings were actually a sign to do it. So, I am taking a big leap and trying out this experiment that you can be a part of. I'm hosting a watch party for my talk, Beyond Hierarchy: How Play Can Heal The Division Between Us. This TEDx Talk explores how we reached this difficult point in history through cultures of hierarchy and patriarchy. More importantly, it highlights how our path back to humanity and empathy for one another is found through the simple act of play. If this message resonates with you, please join us on Thursday, April 2nd, at Groundfloor Oakland from 6 - 8 PM PST. We will be sharing our favorite childhood snacks, building community, and watching this 16 minute talk together. I truly hope to see you there. Cheers!

Whether you're a cookie connoisseur or a wine enthusiast (or both!), this is your chance to indulge in some seriously fun pairings. (Don’t worry, there will also be some savory bites to give your pallet a break from all that sweet.) See you there!

The New Moon in Aries on April 17th marks the beginning of a new moon cycle. Aries is the first sign, the leader, the ram. This is a moment of beginning, especially for the self.

Join The Witch and Healer Collective for a new moon ritual to work with this potent cosmic moment. Through reflection, energy work, and intentional spell work, we will cut what is no longer serving us (and our inner children) and make room for the spark of newness through bold Aries-led declarations and mantras. Each participant will also make their own intuitive and ancestral-connected herbal tea.

All are welcome, whether you’re a seasoned witch or a curious newcomer who wants to build intentional community and carve out real time for self-work.

We meet to collaboratively explore ideas from art to science to philosophy to learn about the topic and each other.

Our intent is to create a free, inclusive, and friendly space for connection and community based on ideas, in an environment that prioritizes listening and openness to a wide range of perspectives.

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.
