Magandang araw, kasamas!

The transition from spring to summer is taking its sweet time offering a lovely mix of weather and temperature across the state. We hope you're able to enjoy the brightness that this time brings, from the flowers blooming, to the birds singing, to the summer harvests making their way to your tables. It's been such a heavy year, and as my cuzin' Po reminds us, we stay strong because we do this together. So when there are moments to break away and nourish your body, mind, and soul – take it! This is the long game, and doing what we can to stay well through it can offer more energy to our collective effort toward the beautiful world we're building.

This summer we have a compassionate soul and skillful facilitator who will be sharing her lifetime of expertise with us, Chelsea Deloney! Please join us for two important FREE virtual actionshops this summer. Both will be followed by affinity group discussions relevant to each session.

NEW offering this year! Continuing Education Credits for attending Lunch & Learn Actionshops! Please see the registration form for details. 

Please sign up for each meeting separately!
