Damien Gibbs, and Robyn McCarthy will lead this weekly class, where you will find a space for Bonding, Conversation, and Mental Growth.

This isn’t about struggle—it’s about strength. Join us for real discussions, fresh insights, and the opportunity to level up in life. Examples of Men's topics: Accountability & Growth This focuses on self-responsibility, personal growth, and breaking patterns that don’t serve.
The Mental Wellness Circles are guided conversation spaces designed to foster connection, self-awareness, and personal growth. Unlike traditional support groups, these circles focus on thriving, positivity, and holistic mental wellness rather than just overcoming challenges. They provide an interactive, engaging, and dynamic environment where participants explore meaningful topics, expand their emotional vocabulary, and build the skills necessary for personal and relational development.
Each session is thoughtfully structured with engaging prompts, introspective exercises, and open discussions that encourage self-reflection, connection, and deeper understanding of oneself and others. These circles are a space where people can share, listen, and learn in an environment that is supportive, uplifting, and action-oriented. The current structure includes:
● How do you handle situations when you realize you were wrong?
● What’s a habit you know is holding you back? Self-awareness (Relationships & Communication)
● What’s one assumption people make about you that isn’t true?
● When was the last time you apologized, and how was it received?
Investment: $30.

Co-Ed Mental Wellness Circles
Join this mixed-gender space led by Damien Gibbs and Robyn McCarthy where men and women can learn from each other, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and develop skills for healthy and constructive communication. A space where we can come together to share perspectives, challenge ideas, and build deeper connections through conversation. This group encourages open dialogue, active listening, and growth in a way that fosters understanding, reflection, and thriving relationships.
Explore the Balance Between Independence & Connection:
● How do you balance self-reliance with asking for help?
● When was a time you needed support but hesitated to ask for it? Giving & Receiving Feedback
● Why is it easier to give feedback than to receive it? Or is it not?
● How do you typically respond when given constructive criticism?
This class meets every other week.
Investment is $20 for single person and $35 for couples.
Examples of Co-ed topics: Bridge-building discussions that can really reshape how men and women communicate, connect, and support each other.
The circles are not therapy, but they are therapeutic—providing participants with the tools, insights, and perspectives that promote personal growth, emotional intelligence, and interpersonal connection in a way that feels natural, engaging, and empowering. The goal is to create consistent and reliable spaces where people can come together, build community, and experience growth in a structured yet organic way—all while keeping the focus on what works rather than what’s broken.

Addressing Lifelong Themes of Healing
Join Christopher Kokoll for a mindfulness class to help you increase self-awareness and compassion while addressing themes of healing throughout your life. Mindfulness sessions use meditation as an access point into our unconscious tendencies. Once the unconscious tendency is seen clearly, the focus of meditation becomes restructuring your energy system to soften and release the vibrations and memories that hold the tendency in place.

About Christopher:
Christopher has been working as a mindfulness coach for the past four and a half years. Christopher was exposed to healing through vedic spirituality. He has worked closely with traumatized populations in social services, aiding their emotional and psychological healing with meditation as the entry point. He also enjoyed assisting with monthly grief retreats during his employment at LEAF social service. In his experience, healing his karma has profoundly helped his mental and emotional wellbeing. When not meditating he enjoys working out with his 200 lbs sandbag (its so heavy) and playing with this puppy Chumndi (aka Chewy for short.)
Read More About Mindfulness:
Once enough of an old tendency dissipates a new way of operating naturally emerges from one's True Nature within. This session can help prepare one's awareness and energy system for the Uncovering & Addressing Lifelong Themes of Healing class to come. As well as prepare one mentally and emotionally for that journey.With our intention (and Grace) we allow insights to spontaneously emerge in meditation No longer is the surface level chatter of the mind being observed, but Grace is shining our awareness like a flash into areas of great importance for our development and helping us arrive at deepened understandings Our intention will be to uncover and address the most important healing theme of this lifetime.
This is a journey, there are layers of conditioning to be progressively moved through and seen at the right time. Less and less is meditation a willy-nilly observation of a scattered mind or sitting with whatever random trigger has popped up More and more we want to cultivate specificity in meditation, focus, and the spiritual fire to learn what our soul is here to teach us Our soul’s healing themes cluster around early childhood experiences. And for some of us, these themes are seen over many lifetimes.
As we gain greater traction on healing this profoundly important area, we may also begin to see a purpose emerging on the other side of our pain, that has been lying dormant At this level, psychological healing, becomes indistinguishable from spiritual transformation

”Jessica has been a true gift on my spiritual journey. Her Reiki sessions leave me feeling lighter yet grounded, and I always come away with a newfound insight that she helps me unearth.
I’ve also had the privilege of attending her Archangel Reiki class. It was transformative. Powerful yet tender, like a divine embrace that reconnected me to my own strength and light. I felt so supported through the entire process, even long after the class ended. Jessica’s heart shines through every service she offers. She’s not just a healer but a soul sister who walks with you toward wholeness. For anyone seeking to deepen their spiritual path, I can’t recommend her enough.”-Sara B

Mindfulness for Children and Parents - Overcoming Negative Self Image
Join Christopher Kokoll for an evening of mindfulness to bring children and parents closer together.
When children receive feedback from society (warranted or not) that their actions are bad it forms a self image, often in the child's unconscious. Even if surface level behaviors are resolved, unfortunately this self image remains. And like a seed it can grow other negative manifestations in ones life. Self forgiveness is key softening this seed. Mindfulness softens the identities we automatically play out. There is specific benefit to softening and dissolving negative identities. During this class we will be using mindfulness and self forgiveness to achieve this.
