Science-backed perks include better sleep, reduced stress, improved mood, and more.

In a world that constantly asks us to do more, this hour offers permission to simply be.
Every person's experience is unique. Some people leave feeling deeply relaxed, others find space for quiet reflection, and many simply appreciate an hour of uninterrupted stillness in the midst of a busy life.
Led by licensed therapist & musician Josh Crownover, LAPC, CCTP-II, each session is guided with warmth, intention, and an emphasis on safety, presence, and creating a welcoming space where you can simply be.

Date and Time coming soon!
Step into a creative experience where art-making and live music come together to quiet the mind, awaken the senses, and invite authentic self-expression. In this expressive arts group, you'll explore a variety of art materials, mixed media techniques, and intentional sound experiences while creating a series of layered abstract paintings. As live music unfolds throughout the session, you'll be encouraged to respond intuitively—allowing color, texture, rhythm, and movement to guide your creative process in a supportive, judgment-free environment.
Layering becomes more than an artistic technique—it becomes a practice in freedom, presence, and trust. By working on several small paintings simultaneously, you'll discover the relief of letting go of perfection and embracing curiosity instead. Each layer offers an opportunity to pause, listen, respond, and begin again, reminding us that beauty often emerges through the process rather than the plan. Like our own lives, the most compelling works of art are often those that evolve over time.
Participants will experience a live, therapist-led sound immersion using a variety of acoustic instruments, creating an atmosphere that encourages slowing down, focused attention, and creative expression. The music is offered as an invitation to notice one's inner experience while engaging fully in the artistic process.
Whether you're seeking stress relief, creative renewal, or simply a meaningful way to reconnect with yourself, this unique experience offers space to slow down and be fully present with what is unfolding—one layer at a time. All art materials are provided, and no prior art experience is necessary. Come as you are, immerse yourself in the healing combination of creativity and live music, and leave with both original artwork and a renewed sense of inspiration.
All art materials are supplied. No prior art experience required.
Cost: $60

Thursday, Oct 15th 6-7:30pm
As children grow into adolescence and young adulthood, life naturally becomes busier. School, work, sports, activities, friendships, and increasing independence often leave less room for intentional time together. While families may still share the same home, opportunities to simply enjoy one another's company can become surprisingly rare.
Parent & Child Connections is a 90-minute guided experience designed to help parents and their children intentionally slow down, engage together, and strengthen the relationship they already share.
Through thoughtfully facilitated experiences that may include rhythm, movement, collaborative activities, conversation, creative expression, and moments of reflection, participants are invited to connect in ways that everyday life doesn't always make possible.
Rather than teaching parenting techniques or focusing on problems, this experience creates space for meaningful interaction, shared enjoyment, and authentic connection.
Facilitated by Josh Crownover, LPC, CCTP-II, the experience draws upon principles of attachment, emotional wellness, child and adolescent development, and healthy relationships while maintaining one simple purpose:
Creating opportunities for parents and their children to share meaningful moments together.
Whether your child is entering adolescence or adulthood, Parent & Child Connections offers an opportunity to step away from the busyness of everyday life and simply enjoy being together.
No special skills or experience are needed—just come as you are, ready to participate together.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this experience designed for?
Parent & Child Connections is designed for parents (or primary caregivers) and their children ages 12 and older.
While this experience is intentionally designed for parents and children ages 12 and older, maturity and readiness are often more important than age alone. If you feel your younger child would benefit and be able to meaningfully participate, we encourage you to reach out before registering. We'd be happy to help determine whether the experience would be a good fit.
What kinds of experiences will we have?
Each session includes a variety of guided experiences that may incorporate rhythm, movement, collaboration, creativity, conversation, and quiet moments of reflection. Every activity is intentionally chosen to encourage meaningful interaction, shared experiences, and authentic connection rather than competition or performance.
Do we need any special skills or experience?
Not at all. No musical, artistic, or athletic ability is required. The focus is on participating together—not doing anything perfectly.
What should we wear?
Comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and participate in a variety of activities.
Can I bring more than one child?
Absolutely. Registration includes one parent (or primary caregiver) and one child.
Additional children are welcome when space allows. Please contact us before registering so we can reserve enough space for your family.
Investment
$40 per parent-child pair
Registration includes one parent (or primary caregiver) and one child.
