Narrative Therapy: Creative Writing
We all carry stories—some we’ve been told, some we’ve told ourselves. And over time, those stories can shape how we see ourselves, what we believe we’re capable of, and how we relate to others.
This 6-week therapeutic writing group is a space to explore those stories with curiosity, compassion, and creativity. Using narrative therapy and guided writing prompts, you’ll begin to notice which parts of your story feel true, which ones you’ve outgrown, and which ones you’re ready to rewrite.
Each week includes a grounding check-in, a themed prompt, quiet writing time, and space to share (if you’d like to). You don’t need to be a writer to join—just someone who’s ready to show up, reflect, and express.
Whether you’re working through a life transition, healing from something hard, or simply wanting to get to know yourself better, this group offers a supportive and nonjudgmental space to begin writing the next chapter—on your own terms.
Session led by Elena Greenland, LAPC, NCC

Somatic Yin Yoga
Whether you’re holding it all together on the outside but exhausted on the inside, or simply need to befriend your body and come back home to yourself, this practice is for you.
Somatic Yin Yoga weaves longer-held, gentle yin postures with somatic movements to release tension in the body and mind, and nourish you on every level.
So often our bodies are stuck in fight, flight or freeze without us even realizing it — sticky shoulders, shallow breath, tight hips, clenched jaws, that constant hum of anxious energy and buzzing thoughts... this practice meets you there.
Grounded yin yoga shapes work with your muscles and fascia to soften long-held tensions. (Supported by tons of props, time and tenderness!)
Embodied mindfulness practices release the grip of busy “thinking brain” and guide awareness down and into the body to rest in a powerful space of quiet awareness.
Somatic movements retrain the nervous system to release habitual patterns, contractions and stuck energy.
Come as you are and connect, explore, release, and cultivate inner stillness. Somatic Yin Yoga is yoga from the inside out.
Sessions led by Lori Wieder, LAPC, C-IAYT.
8-week series runs September 30–November 18

No experience needed. Just show up and play! Drum Flow is a monthly community drum circle focused on rhythm & connection.
Let go of the noise in your head and find your rhythm. DrumFlow is a monthly community drum circle where you can drop the stress, pick up a drum, reconnect, and have fun. We don’t lecture. We don’t analyze. We just play. Whether you’re a total beginner or you’ve been drumming for years, DrumFlow is about showing up, making noise, and letting the rhythm move you. Bring your own drum or use one of ours. Come ready to shake off the day and let the beat do what words can’t.

Somatic Yin Yoga
Whether you’re holding it all together on the outside but exhausted on the inside, or simply need to befriend your body and come back home to yourself, this practice is for you.
Somatic Yin Yoga weaves longer-held, gentle yin postures with somatic movements to release tension in the body and mind, and nourish you on every level.
So often our bodies are stuck in fight, flight or freeze without us even realizing it — sticky shoulders, shallow breath, tight hips, clenched jaws, that constant hum of anxious energy and buzzing thoughts... this practice meets you there.
Grounded yin yoga shapes work with your muscles and fascia to soften long-held tensions. (Supported by tons of props, time and tenderness!)
Embodied mindfulness practices release the grip of busy “thinking brain” and guide awareness down and into the body to rest in a powerful space of quiet awareness.
Somatic movements retrain the nervous system to release habitual patterns, contractions and stuck energy.
Come as you are and connect, explore, release, and cultivate inner stillness. Somatic Yin Yoga is yoga from the inside out.
Sessions led by Lori Wieder, LAPC, C-IAYT.
8-week series runs September 30–November 18
Tuesdays 5:30-6:30, $120 for the series
NOTE: class is waitlist only. Please email lori.thehealingroom@gmail.com to be added!
Narrative Therapy: Creative Writing
We all carry stories—some we’ve been told, some we’ve told ourselves. And over time, those stories can shape how we see ourselves, what we believe we’re capable of, and how we relate to others.
This 6-week therapeutic writing group is a space to explore those stories with curiosity, compassion, and creativity. Using narrative therapy and guided writing prompts, you’ll begin to notice which parts of your story feel true, which ones you’ve outgrown, and which ones you’re ready to rewrite.
Each week includes a grounding check-in, a themed prompt, quiet writing time, and space to share (if you’d like to). You don’t need to be a writer to join—just someone who’s ready to show up, reflect, and express.
Whether you’re working through a life transition, healing from something hard, or simply wanting to get to know yourself better, this group offers a supportive and nonjudgmental space to begin writing the next chapter—on your own terms.
Session led by Elena Greenland, LAPC, NCC

Yoga Nidra
Say yes to rest! Yoga Nidra is a guided journey into restoration and nervous system reset. No expectations. Just you, your mat, some cozy props, and the power of rest.

Art Journal Alchemists
Creative journaling is a safe space to explore and release feelings through visual and written expression. A regular art practice can help with understanding one’s emotions and can improve clarity and insight. Art journaling also encourages experimentation with different materials and techniques without fear of judgment. It can help rekindle creativity that may be dormant due to daily life pressures.
Join us for this monthly art journaling gathering where we will learn expressive techniques to encourage healing, growth, and creativity. This group is designed for adult participants who are seeking something engaging and creative. Our monthly sessions will focus on process, exploration, discovery, and play.
This group provides a safe and sacred space for expressing our creative selves through a variety of activities including collage, acrylic paint, pastels, and watercolor.
All materials supplied. No art experience necessary.
Sessions led by Amy Frank, LAPC, ATR-P on the third Monday of each month.
