We’re part of a global network found in over 240 cities worldwide, and are entirely volunteer-run and supported by local businesses in Oakland. About CreativeMornings/Oakland To say we have pride about our Town is an understatement. You have either been here, or you have the desire to be here. But Oakland does not mince messages: to belong here is to make a promise to community.  Oakland is built on community. Creativity and collaboration are what brought the Free Breakfasts to the children of West Oakland, the endurance to the Occupiers, and the persistence to the Resistance. We understand that to live a vibrant and inclusive life requires a diversity of beliefs and backgrounds. We understand that to breathe creativity into the minds and souls of our neighbors it requires the joy and respect for others. Community is not a one way street. Thankfully, we love to share it. At CreativeMornings Oakland, we seek to elevate the voices of our community: the passionate, the freedom fighters, the change makers, the resilient, the honest, and the leaders—without whom we’d have no inspiration, for our community is our future.

Authentic Relating Connection Game Night

Connection games allow us to grow and have fun in a relaxed and inclusive environment with others.

What do we mean by connection? Connection is a feeling that goes beyond communication skills or active listening. It comes from sharing our authentic selves and developing our capacity for sensing and feeling more deeply. This creates the foundation for how we relate to others, and can form greater connections.

Our capacity to feel and sense is something that can grow with practice, and the connection games we will be playing provide an engaging way to develop these abilities.

In recent years, authentic relating has emerged as one of the most practical and direct ways to connect with others in a group setting. Let's explore this practice, go deep and have fun together!

a. First 15 mins is arrival and mingle time.

b. 90 mins of structured Authentic Relating exercises and practices within the group or rotating 1:1 pairs. We will demonstrate how to do this and set you people off to practice each round with our support!

c. Last 30 mins for debrief and informal discussions.

BGC: Blood on the Clocktower Custom Script

Blood on the Clocktower is 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. We will be playing a custom-but-beginners-friendly script! We will have pizza - BYOB!

‼️ 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!

What Does Belonging Mean to You?

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.

This hike invites you to:
* Develop a deeper sense of presence and attunement to the living world
* Experience shifts in perception as you explore how nature communicates through different senses
* Have the opportunity to soften, listen, and connect with yourself, your fellow journeyers, and the land
* Cultivate a sense of belonging within the vast network of life, both seen and unseen

* Foster a more intentional relationship with movement, walking as a form of conscious attunement, where each step deepens your dialogue with the land

Biohacking Club

Join Martin, an avid biohacker for many years, as he leads a monthly exploration into the cutting-edge world of biohacking. Martin's journey began with a simple curiosity about how to optimize his own health and has since evolved into a passion for uncovering the secrets of the human body. Each month, he shares his discoveries and experiments, from nootropics and fasting protocols to advanced wearable technology. 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. Biohacking is about taking control of your own biology. It's a broad and fascinating field that intersects with disciplines such as nutrition, physiology, genetics, and technology. 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. Together, we explore the art and science of biohacking, sharing knowledge, experiences, and experiments in our quest to become the best versions of ourselves.

Inspiration Club: Nature & Found Art

Discover the magic of transforming everyday objects and natural treasures into unique works of art. This playful and experimental workshop invites you to explore your creativity by breathing new life into forgotten items and connecting with the beauty of nature. Bring along those small, cherished objects you can't bear to part with – perhaps you're a collector of feathers, pinecones, shells, interesting twigs, or crystal beads. Gather yarn, ribbons, and other upcyclable materials from home. We'll combine these personal finds with natural elements and create something entirely new from what might seem like "nothing." Air-dry clay, wire, and glue will be provided to help you assemble your creations. Whether you prefer to work solo or collaborate with others in small groups, you'll have the opportunity to share materials and co-create collectively. We'll begin the workshop with a brief meditation and movement exercise to spark inspiration and connect with our creative energy. Afterward, we'll dive into the process of making, followed by a sharing circle where we can celebrate our unique pieces, focusing on the journey of creation and the meaning behind our work, rather than solely on aesthetics. Led by Marion, an experienced facilitator, creative arts therapist, and teacher with over 16 years of experience, this workshop offers a supportive and inspiring environment to unleash your inner artist. Free for Groundfloor members. Non-members can register here: https://www.theheartof.us/inspiration-lab

Interpersonal Club: All Things Co-Regulation!

Come explore and learn about all things Co-Regulation! What is it? Why is it important? How do we know when it is happening? And how do we know how to ask for, offer, and receive it? How do we co-regulate with boundaries? Is co-regulation always bidirectional? Is the goal of co-regulation allostasis, connection, both? How is co-regulation different and/or the same as presence, empathy, attunement, attachment, and resonance? What is the role of the social engagement network in co-regulation? Can we co-regulate ourselves? Is self-regulation just the memory of co-regulation? We will explore co-regulation and many of these questions cognitively, emotionally, and experientially, together.

Interpersonal Club is a space for members to explore, inquire, practice and deepen in understanding around the many types of relationships and connections in our lives. Through the exploration of interpersonal neurobiology, communication skills, relational resonance and coherence, co-regulation, empathy, emotional attunement, attachment, collective consciousness and more, we will grow our connections in real time and deepen our capacities for authentic and embodied relationships with our friends, partners, families, children, collaborators, and communities.

*A note about our club structure: Rather than centering consumption of content or replication of hierarchical group power structures, we will tend to center group process in Interpersonal Club, meaning that we will stay with the trouble of working/playing/exploring through any sticky or murky places that may come up as we learn to be in deeper community together.

DISCLAIMER: Interpersonal Club and its events and offerings are for enrichment only and are not a substitute for therapy, counseling, or mental health support groups.
