If you’re having FUN, you’re doing it RIGHT! That’s the mantra for this session. When we are having fun, we are present. And when we are present, we have the opportunity to bond in meaningful, memorable ways. Through a skillfully designed sequence of games and activities, we will have the opportunity to get to know one another on deeper levels and play just outside of our comfort zone. These “playful” exercises are designed as the jumping off points for deeper insight into how we create the optimal conditions for collaboration, learning and growth. As you will discover, this peer-to-peer learning model creates the conditions for organic interaction and dialogue to emerge about what the group is actually feeling and experiencing in the moment. This allows for more spontaneous sharing that often facilitates trust, bonding and connection. For group facilitators, you can incorporate these types of activities to go beyond ice-breakers and promote more meaningful interaction at conferences, trainings and team-building events. Hosted by: Adam Rinder (GF Member) Adam designs and facilitates learning experiences with a focus on relational skill building, peer coaching, collaborative problem solving and consensus building. Adam helps his clients incorporate an experiential learning framework into their virtual trainings, on-boarding events and company retreats by making learning interactive, actionable and fun! Adam's approach is a synthesis of more than 15 years of facilitating in-person trainings and learning events with a focus on building community through peer-to-peer learning. He has worked extensively with founders, HR Directors and management teams to address the mindsets, attitudes and beliefs that improve retention, foster internal motivation and ultimately drive innovation and growth. He has been featured as a guest lecturer at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business and the University of Arizona. LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamrinder/

Come unwind from the grind by winding up your creativity! This event isn’t your traditional paint night though - you will use AI image generation to inspire your very own, unique painting.

At the end of the session, alongside having a chance to view each others’ masterpieces, we will have some time to share our AI image prompt journeys, experiences and learnings with each other as well. This version of paint night is a great intro to AI image generation whilst also providing the necessary time and space away from the everyday to focus and explore your own creativity. To reset. Rethink. Reimagine. Recreate. This event is BYOB, and BYO Guests too - this event is open to Groundfloor friends. ———————— Your Host: Rossana is a newer member, joining Groundfloor in June.

Join us for a heart-warming evening of archetypal storytelling, designed to stoke your creative fire. As the late poet Muriel Rukeyser famously wrote: “The world is made of stories, not atoms.” On this special night, you are invited to come and be nourished by this source of primal sustenance. Marion, the member of Groundfloor is bringing a guest storyteller and musician, Rich Mertes, to warm our hearts with the ancient myths and the magical sound of his flute. What Awaits You: Listening to Stories and Flute: Immerse yourself in a collection of tales shared by Rich Mertes and Marion. These stories, centered around creativity, are meant to guide you in shaping your vision for the coming year. Rich will also offer his flute music to deepen into your vision, awareness and experience. Creative Expression: After the stories and music flow through you - we’ll invite you to share a response. Perhaps a theme, a character or a moment moved you? You’ll have a chance to express yourself through art, movement, poetry or music. Or you can simply witness and receive. Enjoy Communal Sharing: We’ll end our evening by weaving together the creative strands from each of us into a collective tapestry as we share our creative responces in community. This space is one of openness and support—there is no pressure to share, only the encouragement to express what feels right for you in the moment. Thresholds and passages are empowered by the meaning we give to them. With the coming of the New Year, as we collectively celebrate another trip around the Sun, let’s use this time to consciously compose the next chapter in the story of our lives. As cosmologist Brian Swimme says: “what many animals know automatically from their DNA, humans need to learn via the transmission of stories”. Let’s come together and celebrate life at evolution’s growing edge. Art materials will be provided. Bring a journal and a pen, or a musical instrument of your choice. Your hosts are experienced facilitators: Marion Segal - the member of GF and the Founder of www.theheartof.us - an organization devoted to weaving community through mindfulness, loving kindness and creativity, and Rich Mertes - somatic counselor, awareness guide, storyteller, and musician. You can read more about Rich here: https://www.wakingbeartherapy.com/ This even is by donation for the GroundFloor members to offer a gift to Rich in exchange for his generous offering. Please send a Venmo to @RutaSegal or PayPal to routa.segal@gmail.com. Thank you!! Link for non-GF members to sign up: https://www.theheartof.us/inspiration-lab

We’ll kick off the meeting with introductions to share our wine contributions. Be prepared to speak a little about your wine and why you chose it. Nothing fancy or formal, but pro-tip: the Vivino app can be helpful in a pinch! To complete the experience, we’ll provide Bavarian-inspired snacks and other hearty delights perfect for a winter evening. 🥨🧀 ❄️ It’s a night of gemütlichkeit (that’s German for cozy vibes) with great wine, delicious bites, and a touch of Bavarian hospitality! Prost! 🍷 Note: All members and their guests are warmly invited to attend Wine Club events; however, all attendees must be 21+.

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.

CreativeMornings is a free monthly breakfast lecture series. We offer free coffee, breakfast, and an inspiring talk highlighting an artist, maker, entrepreneur or creative individual in our community! 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.
