🌈 It's Pride Month! 🌈

This month is an opportunity to celebrate the diversity that makes our communities stronger, richer and more beautiful 💜

While progress has been made, many LGBTQ+ individuals still experience discrimination and do not always feel accepted or safe being their authentic selves. Continued advocacy, education and open-hearted conversations are important as we work toward a more inclusive and equitable world 💚

We invite you to do your part. Join a march. Support a q***r creator, artist or local business. Reach out to someone who may be feeling lonely. Offer a smile, a kind word or a moment of connection 🫂 Small acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference 😊

And in our studio space, EVERYONE is welcome 🫶

Join us with a friend, or come solo and connect with a community that welcomes you 💖

This is a safe and supportive space for all identities 🏳️‍🌈

We see you, we celebrate you, and we stand with you! 💛

🌊 From Overwhelm To Regulation: A Sensory Meditation Workshop with Justin Monton ✨

🌊 Saturday June 13 at 5:30-7:00pm ✨

This 90-minute guided sensory meditation workshop invites you to slow down, settle in, and gently explore your senses. Whether you’re completely new to meditation or looking to deepen your practice, this class offers a calm and supportive space to turn inward while expanding your awareness of both self and environment.

Together, we’ll move through grounding techniques, breath awareness, quiet moments of stillness, and a guided exploration of sensory experiences—including visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, proprioceptive, and vestibular input. This session is designed as a light, curious journey through all eight senses, helping you feel more present in your body, mind, and immediate surroundings. No experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to explore.

Come as you are. All bodies, backgrounds, and experience levels are welcome. Please dress comfortably. This is a mostly seated experience, with only gentle stretches offered. You’ll remain in one spot throughout the session.

All materials for the sensory exploration will be provided, and you’ll be guided through each experience step by step.

🌊 Meet Justin ✨

Justin is a q***r, trans non-binary occupational therapist and certified lymphedema therapist offering sensory-based meditation and regulation workshops designed for increasing self and environmental awareness. With a background in working with carers and individuals navigating complex health conditions, including dementia, their approach bridges clinical knowledge with accessible, embodied practices.

Their sessions guide participants through sensory exploration, grounding techniques, and gentle awareness practices that support presence and nervous system regulation. Grounded in trauma-aware, systems and anti-oppressive principles, they create spaces that are inclusive, flexible, and responsive to different bodies and experiences. Participants are encouraged to engage at their own pace, with no pressure to perform or participate in a specific way.
