Open "THAT" Bottle

For the wines you’re saving… but shouldn’t be.

You know that bottle. The one you’ve been saving for “someday.” The one with a story. The one you bring out when the people are right and the moment matters.

This event is for opening that bottle—on a Thursday, because life’s too short to save the good stuff for later.

Bonus points if your wine is from California, the state we love, maybe something small production, soulful, and never boring.

We will expect the story behind the wine: - who made it, where it came from, and why you've brought it.

A nudge to open it now, not someday.

Log off and join in at 5 pm on Fridays. Each week we take the pulse to decide if we GTFO or stay in. No matter what we do, it's a fun way to hang out with your community before Friday night plans. Just show up as you are - we’ll handle the rest.

Awakening the Senses: A Hands-On Ayurveda Experience

Join Self-Care Club for an immersive exploration of practice and science of Ayurveda. This introductory session will be an interoceptive journey through our senses, referred to as "gunas" or qualities in Ayurveda. Led by nationally certified Ayurveda practitioner, Luke Karamol, we will explore how sensing qualities such as hot versus cold and heavy versus light can serve as a gateway to listening to the innate wisdom of our bodies. You will learn daily practices that nourish your senses of sight, smell, sound, touch, and taste and will leave with a deeper understanding of how this traditional medicine can be integrated into daily life for improved health and wellbeing.   About your instructor: LUKE KARAMOL is a NAMA-AD, health coach, orthopedic bodyworker, movement educator, and yoga teacher. His healing journey began over 25 years ago, inspired by the concept of food as medicine while working in a small organic café in Chicago. Since then, Luke's practice, The Wisdom Body, has been rooted in Ayurvedic principles, which highlight the interdependence of the body, mind, and emotions in all expressions of health and imbalance. In his Oakland-based private practice, he offers individualized bodywork and Ayurvedic consultations, integrating exercise, health, and lifestyle guidance.

Creating the Lives We Truly Crave: A Space for Solo, Childfree, Women of Color

Feeling isolated in your life journey, and what lies in the future? Wish you could have unfiltered conversations about what it means to be a solo childfree, woman of color? It’s here—a space and community dedicated to empowered choice, centered around your own power and freedom, and breaking free from familial, cultural, and societal expectations. We’re coming together for an evening of authentic connection,understanding, and celebration in our wholeness.

No explanation needed. No awkward questions of why we aren’t choosing the life path that others have taken. Just supportive and honest conversations with other women who can relate to one another’s experiences and challenges.

Within each solo, childfree, woman of color lies a desire to create the life she truly craves. Let’s come together to reflect, envision, and powerfully take action on the dream life we’re meant to have.

Why attend:
- Be understood: Share your story with other solo, women of color, who understand the childfree journey (in the challenges of choosing a path that strays from cultural and familial expectations)
- Build community: form, meaningful connections with other women who are creating unique and beautiful paths for themselves
- Celebrate choices: Embrace your life decisions in a judgment free zone
-Discover resource: Learn about opportunities uniquely available to solo, childfree, women of color

Intentions to Outcomes: A Heart-Centered Journey in Community

Join us for a unique, two-hour community gathering that invites you to slow down, reflect deeply, and reconnect—with yourself and others. This immersive workshop is designed to be both nourishing and energizing: part personal retreat, part collective gathering.

Guided by the principles of Dr. Jean Watson’s Caring Science and inspired by Stanford nurses who embody this holistic, human-centered philosophy, Intentions to Outcomes brings to life a way of being grounded in compassion, empathy, love, and connection – first towards ourselves, and those around us. In a time when many feel unmoored, this workshop offers a space to realign with your values, explore your inner landscape, and rediscover trust in humanity.

What to Expect:
Over the course of this heartful experience, we’ll journey through four reflective segments that mirror the holistic nursing process:
1. Look Back – Gentle reflection on your personal journey
2. Look Inward – Discovery and exploration into values, strengths, and inner truth
3. Look Ahead – Envisioning and mapping what matters most
4. Look Again – Reinforcement, accountability, and integration

You’ll participate in guided practices and community-based activities which could include:
• Light icebreakers to build warmth and connection
• Centering and mindfulness exercises
• Journaling prompts for self-exploration
• Guided meditation
• Group discourse and story sharing
• Creative expression tools like zentangle art or mindmapping

There will also be intentional moments of solitude to encourage stillness, pause, and presence—so vital to human wellbeing.

Who Is This For?
This workshop is for anyone feeling a pull toward intentional conscious living, inner alignment, and meaningful community. Whether you're navigating transition, seeking clarity, or simply longing for deeper connection, Intentions to Outcomes offers a soulfully structured space to begin that process.

What You'll Leave With:
• A deeper understanding of yourself and your values
• A sense of grounded direction and actionable steps for the months ahead
• Renewed trust in community and humanity
• Practical tools and practices to support ongoing growth
• An invitation to monthly check-ins to reinforce progress, build habits, and stay connected

Why Now?
The last few years have deeply impacted how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. As we emerge from collective disorientation, and current affairs, it's essential to create spaces that prioritize the heart. This workshop was born from the belief that caring is not just a professional framework—it’s a human one. Inspired by Jean Watson’s nursing theory and the compassionate practice of Stanford nurses, Intentions to Outcomes creates space for reflection, discovery, and heart-centered transformation.

Because what we carry in our hearts truly matters.

Board Game Club: Blood on the Clocktower

First Tuesdays Board Game Club features Blood on the Clocktower: an award-winning social deduction game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception for up to fifteen daring players led by a devious storyteller. Each month we have food and drink on hand - but you're always welcome to bring your own - don't rely on us for your dinner. :) ‼️ Blood on the Clocktower can take *three* hours to run, so please don’t make other plans for your evening - your presence will be required for the entirety of the game. Pizza will be provided. ‼️ We encourage players to watch this 10 minute introduction video on the rules ahead of the event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-aZP47Nm9g ‼️ Even more info & play guides: BotC website https://bloodontheclocktower.com Each player receives either a ‘good’ or ‘evil’ token with their unique character and special ability on it. Good players share information to solve the mystery whilst evil players lie about who they are and what they know. The good team wins if they can piece together their knowledge, trust each other, and vote to execute the demon. The evil team wins if the demon can sow distrust, evade detection, and wipe out the village. Being dead doesn’t remove you from the game, you can still discuss with fellow players, win (or lose!) with your team, and have one final ‘ghost’ vote to use before the end of the game. Sometimes it’s actually useful to be dead rather than alive!

Shift Session #1 : Habits that stick

Welcome to Shift!

This is a space where we come together to explore books, ideas, and practices that create small but meaningful shifts in our lives. Whether it’s through health tips, financial insights, mindset tools, or spiritual practices like meditation, our goal is to learn from one another and share what’s worked for us—physically, emotionally, or spiritually.

Each meeting will center around a book (or another thought-provoking format) and include an activity to help apply those insights in real life. Think of this as a supportive space with room for accountability partners, progress tracking, and personal reflection to bring insights from written or spoken word to action.

We’ll kick off our first gathering with Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear. We'll begin with introductions and share a book, podcast, or film that sparked a lasting shift in you, then ease into a group discussion of Atomic Habits. The book is just the starting point—whether you've read it or not, you're welcome. We believe everyone brings value to the conversation.

5 on Friday: A Portrait of the Moment w/ Artist Paul Madonna

Each Friday at 5, we gather to unwind and see where connecting takes us. This week, we invite you into something rare: a chance to be seen—really seen—by award-winning artist and storyteller Paul Madonna.

Paul has an ongoing portrait project, and while we mix and mingle, he will offer 15-minute live portraits to those who wish to sit. It’s part drawing, part witnessing, part time capsule—capturing not just your likeness, but a moment in your story.

Come as you are. We’ll take care of the rest.

About the Artist:

Paul Madonna is a celebrated visual artist and bestselling author known for weaving line, language, and emotion across genres—from his poetic series All Over Coffee to his layered mysteries of the Emit Hopper books. His work lives in museums, in books, on walls, and now, for one evening, as a live drawing event in our space. Learn more about Paul and his work at paulmadonna.com.

🌊 Hike Club: Tidepool Time at Agate Beach! 🐚

Surf's down! Join us for an easygoing, super-curious wander through one of Marin’s coolest coastal gems: Agate Beach & Duxbury Reef.

We’re timing this adventure to line up perfectly with low tide at 4:00 PM - aka prime tidepool peeping hour. Plan on a slow, careful treasure hunt across wave-sculpted shale and seaweed-laced stone. Expect anemones, chitons, hermit crabs, maybe even a shy octopus if we’re lucky. 🌟

🐾 What We're Doing:

Meandering across Marin’s biggest shale reef like marine biologist wannabes

Peeking into salty little universes full of creatures doing their weird ocean things

Sharing observations, fun facts, and maybe a few sea shanties if the mood strikes

🧼 Stuff You Definitely Need:

Shoes with grip (rocks are slick—no sandals!)

Layers (the fog can roll in fast)

Water & snacks for keeping your energy up while tidepool squatting

Optional but awesome: mini binoculars, a field notebook, or your nerdy enthusiasm

📍 Meet: Agate Beach Parking Lot (399 Elm Rd, Bolinas) https://g.co/kgs/oKPNq2D

🥾 Difficulty: Easy, but we’ll be moving slowly over uneven, slippery terrain

⏳ Duration: ~2.5 hours including stops, exploration, and tide-talk

✨ Bonus Round (Optional After-Hike Fun!):

If time and vibes allow, we might head uphill for a hilltop view, take a chill stroll through Bolinas, grab a bite, or just kick back on the sand to watch the sun go down. 🌅🦀🍻

This hike is all about slowing down, looking closer, and letting the coastline do the talking. Whether you're a seasoned tidepooler or a curious first-timer, this is your chance to explore a living mosaic of marine magic.

Business Club (Connect + Collab)

Business Club is a monthly networking and peer mentoring opportunity for all professionals and creatives to connect, exchange ideas, and problem solve over their morning cuppa. The meetings are facilitated by Sophie Davies to ensure everyone has equal time to introduce themselves and ask for what they need. How it works: After introductions the group breaks out into smaller groups to allow everyone to share “an ask” through peer mentoring with your makeshift advisory board. “Your ask” can be a specific idea that you need feedback on or a challenge you need help with. This work-related inclusive club is for everyone who understands that while we tend to work individually, we regularly encounter the same work challenges and believe that collectively we are stronger when we support each other and figure things out together. These gatherings are limited to 20 people, so please commit to staying for the duration of the session.

This group is more than just a meeting; it's a community of like-minded individuals dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what's possible with their bodies and minds. Whether you're a seasoned biohacker or just starting to explore the possibilities, Martin's insights and guidance will open the door to a new level of personal optimization.

At its core, biohacking involves experimenting with lifestyle and environmental changes to make precise, targeted improvements to your health and well-being. This approach is as diverse as the individuals it attracts, ranging from tech enthusiasts exploring the latest gadgets to improve sleep quality, to fitness lovers using cutting-edge science to enhance physical performance, and curious minds seeking to extend their lifespan through genetic editing and regenerative medicine. Our monthly group dives into these topics and more, providing a supportive and stimulating environment for everyone from the curious newcomer to the advanced practitioner.

Grounded Conversations: De-Escalation and Feedback with Intention

Tough conversations are inevitable—but they do not have to spiral. This interactive session starts with the self, offering practical tools to stay grounded, de-escalate tense moments, and give or receive feedback with clarity and care. Come ready to learn, reflect, and practice skills you can use right away to strengthen relationships in real-life situations. Chris Hess and Andrea Prebys-Williams believe that feedback, when given with care and courage, can transform relationships and open doors to growth. They bring years of experience, a spirit of curiosity, and a deep belief in each person’s ability to communicate with greater honesty and heart. Their work has supported people in settings as varied as encampments of unhoused individuals, frontline service sites, and high-tension public meetings and protests. This 90-minute session is part of a larger two-day training series that Chris and Andrea offer to organizations, designed to build stronger leadership, deepen communication, and foster a culture of trust and collaboration.

Each monthly gathering explores a specific theme related to personal growth, emotional healing, and spiritual awakening. Through a structured process of guided meditation, reflective prompts, and small group sharing, we create a safe, nurturing container for deep inner work and soul-nourishing connection. Some of the core focus areas we explore include: Navigating life's challenges and transitions with grace and resilience Cultivating self-compassion, acceptance, and loving-kindness Reconnecting with our inner wisdom, intuition, and authentic voice Healing past wounds, ancestral patterns, traumas, and limiting beliefs Awakening to our soul's purpose and unique gifts Embodying mindfulness, presence, and conscious awareness Fostering meaningful connections and a sense of belonging Restoring connectedness with nature In this supportive space, we have the opportunity to be seen, heard, and held in our full humanity. Through the power of community reflection and mirroring, we gain new insights, perspectives, and resources to support our ongoing growth and transformation. Whether you're seeking greater self-understanding, emotional resilience, or spiritual alignment, Ritual offers a sanctuary for your soul. Here, you'll find a circle of kindred spirits who honor the sacredness in all of life and celebrate the beauty, complexity, and wisdom of the human journey. All are welcome, regardless of background or belief. Come as you are, with a willingness to show up authentically, respect others and embrace the transformative power of sacred community ritual.
