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.

Ultimate Werewolf Board Game Night

Always a good sized group of regulars that attends, a really fun niche time!

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.

Songwriter Circle

We’re back! Come join us for our quarterly Songwriting Circle which is a safe and collaborative space for anyone creating your own music!

This is a chance for you to bring in pieces you're working on to share with the group in an intimate setting so you can receive feedback, get ideas and collaborate.

Everyone will be split into small groups of 5 people so that each person has a chance to be heard and contribute as you wish. More of a music critic than a musician? Your opinions and musical ear are still very much valued here.

Agenda:

Explore the Enneagram Body Types

Join Self-Care Club for an enlightening evening delving into the profound world of the Enneagram of Personality. 

The Enneagram is not just another personality typing system; it's a powerful tool to deepen your understanding of yourself and others, to break self-defeating unconscious patterns, and to foster richer relationships and a more profound connection with your true essence.

The body center of intelligence is our gut instinct- it is the part of us that ensures that we are in alignment, our boundaries are respected, and that things are fair. In this session we will take an in-depth look at the body center of intelligence and body types—Types 8, 9, and 1. Together, we'll navigate through each type, uncovering the motivations and fears that shape behaviors and delving into practical strategies for personal growth.

Want to bring a guest? Non-members sign up here: https://tinyurl.com/bodytypesgf

This is the second of a 4-part monthly series. Come to one or all!

Cancellation policy: We at Self-Care Club work hard to bring you nourishing and engaging events. If you have reserved a spot and need to cancel, please do so at the earliest possible time so we can plan accordingly.

The Carpool Detectives by Chuck Hogan is a true-crime book about four suburban moms who investigate a 15-year-old cold case involving a double murder in their hometown, finding purpose and danger as they use their unique skills to uncover a story of fraud and murder. The book, published in July 2025, details their DIY investigation, which puts them in risky situations while they piece together a complex mystery that police had abandoned.

GTFO: 2 Annual Easy Backpacking Trip

Annual GF Backpacking Weekend!

Our first trip was a success, so we’re heading out again! 

Dane (years leading Boy Scout trips) and Heather (camping pro who loves sleeping under the stars) will guide the group and make it easy. We’ll start with a virtual or in-person info session to go over details and help everyone get set up. Need gear? We can help with that too.

This is a beginner-friendly, easy backpack and open to all levels. 

Cost: We’ll split campsite + food. Last trip was about $75/person and will likely be less this time.

Come spend a weekend outside with us 🌲

Trip: Henry W. Coe State Park - Morgan Hill (South East Bay)

Friday May 1-3
