We are nothing without you.
Make a donation.
We never turn anyone away for lack of funds. All donations will go toward operating costs (rent, materials, and staffing) so we can make that happen.
Follow our journey.
In addition to a voting plan - we wish for you to have a care plan for this week. This is a good week to spend time in community, rest, and find comfort in small things.
Monday: Gather + Grow Afterschool with Christina (session 5)
Tuesday: 1:1 Acupuncture with Masha // FREE Tea & Empathy Election Day Support
Wednesday: Community Acupuncture and Craniosacral Therapy with Nora & Masha
Thursday: 1:1 Acupuncture with Masha // Aromatherapy for Winter
Friday: 1:1 Acupuncture with Masha // Sound Bath + Acupressure with Madeleine & Masha
Not only do you get to spend a luxurious 90 minutes taking in sweet sounds, receiving acupressure, resting on a massage table and then sipping herbal tea - but you will get a chance to bang a gong! Maybe a few times if that's what it takes....
Not sure how next week will feel but nowhere we would rather be than together.
Election Day Support 11/5 4:30-7 🍂
Our doors will be open on Election Day 4:30-7. Stop in for some tea, relax on a massage table or zero gravity chair with blankets, enjoy some aromatherapy and maybe we will create some soothing sounds.
Bring a mug, your ‘I voted’ sticker, and all of the hopes and fears that we will share on this day.
This is a free community offering. Please be extra kind to one another. This is not a political event - but a shared supportive space. Stress bakers are invited to bring baked goods for sharing.
Masks are optional. Please avoid coming in if you are feeling unwell but we can bring you tea to go! We will set up some chairs outside as well.
Join @masha_schmidt next Thursday 11/7 for the final 'home practice' session of the season: Aromatherapy for Winter // Water Element.
As we settle down into days of less sunlight and contend with our high stress political landscape, aromatherapy can be a simple and effective way to manage the fears and overwhelm that come up this season.
This session will cover acupressure, energetics and care strategies for the Water Element. According to Traditional East Asian Medicine - this corresponds to our Kidneys, Adrenals, and Bladder organs and meridians. The associated emotion is fear.
We will experience essential oils of: Fir, Geranium, Juniper, and Pine and use these as the base notes of a custom blended essential oil to take home.
Space is limited. Sign up via link in bio.
Taking it slow this week to make soup, take naps, and connect with the spirit of the season. Check out our upcoming workshop and events page for ways to be in supportive community next week (and beyond). 💓 Big hugs to all of you

We have lots of events and ways to connect this month - don't be a stranger
Our third October 'home practice' session is coming up next Wednesday, 10/23 from 6:30-8 💫
The Autumn corresponds to the Metal Element - and a lot can come up for us during this transition. Just as we prepare to work with themes relating to grief, immunity, taking in and letting go - the plants are dying back. This is a good time to reach for all of the preserved herbal remedies we have stored over the summer. This is also when the mindful use of essential oils can be a great support.
We will experience different oils and ways to use them, ending class by making our own seasonal blend to take home and practice applying it to Metal element acupoints.
Take gentle care for yourself as the weather cools and the daylight wanes. 🍁
Link in bio to register for class.
Can't make this one? We have another aromatherapy workshop for Winter coming up in November ❄
