With Willow Gibbons

Sliding Scale: $45/$55/$65

When you open yourself to the next unfolding moment, what seems to be emerging in your life? As you wonder and wander in the realms of creativity, what comes to mind for you? Freedom, or something that feels forbidden, blocked, or just out of reach? In this monthly series, we gather to cultivate the inner conditions that allow creativity to live through us in welcoming and expansive ways. Within a shared environment of curiosity, presence, and possibility, you’ll be guided through subconscious explorations, hypnotic techniques, mindfulness, and a splash of expressive arts practices to access resource states, deepen sensory awareness, and shift perspectives. Part immersive practice, part class, this gathering supports the discovery and integration of the resources and insights most needed for your creative life now.

A Meetup and Conversation with Portland Psychedelic Arts & Practice

Free to attend. Donations optional. Suggested donation: $5-$20.

For the first gathering of Portland Psychedelic Arts & Practice, let’s start with the people who are actually here. We’ll spend the evening getting to know one another, sharing some of the stories that brought us to psychedelics, and talking about what we want this community to become.

A Way of Love
With Josephine Spilka

Friday, October 23, 2026 - 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

A way of love is all about union. In union, you find no resistance to things as they are. You feel the presence of a wisdom deep and ancient even as you reckon with the limitations of your human form in this lifetime. In intimate connection with the flow of your own vitality, energy, and awareness, you are invited to imagine yourself as She Who Hears the Cries of the World, embodying compassion and mercy in the form of the goddess herself. As the goddess, your own ideas of who you are and who you may become fall away. She cannot help but respond to all who ask for her support. You too, hear the cries of the world and you, too, wish to respond.

2-Day Workshop Sliding Scale: $425/$525/$625
(installment plans available)

There are stories that began long before us—stories that still live within the ways we love, connect with others, and move through life.

At times, we may feel that something is holding us back. We repeat the same relationship patterns, carry pain we cannot fully understand, or remain trapped in situations that continue to arise despite our efforts to change. Perhaps it is not a lack of strength. Perhaps a story is waiting to be seen. Roots of Love is an invitation to reconnect with our origins and gently explore the invisible dynamics within our family system that may still be shaping our lives today.

Writing has long been a practice that supports truth-telling, insight, courage, capacity, and connection. It’s a place where what lies below the surface of awareness can emerge as insight and often meaningful change. In this workshop, open to women and non-binary-identifying people, we will add a layer of group process and meditation in which listening and being seen set us up to live freely and wholeheartedly. Writing, mindfulness, and group therapeutic experiences are all supported by clinical research as tools through which we can gain strength and steadiness through which to meet our days. Let’s gather together and see what’s possible. As Anton Chekhov says, “Art prepares us for tenderness.”

With Mandy Miller

Please join us at this Spring’s Happiness Lab, an in-person group experiment of connection, introspection, and laughter. We will practice the six elements of Happiness in a series of group and individual activities that are mindful and playful, relational and courageous. Think of a micro-workshop where Authentic Relating meets Meditation.

The results of the evening’s experiment promise to inspire a bright spark in a time of uncertainty, to provide a supportive and grounded space to foster connection at a time of separateness and divisiveness, and to leave you with portable personal skills to use any time, anywhere, to slide your mood further up the Happiness dial.

Bring a journal, a fellow alchemizer, and curiosity.

With Ramiro Peralta and Alejandro Alfonsin

Ramiro and Alejandro are traveling from Argentina and will be offering a special teaching and practice session in Family Constellations.

Family Constellations is a powerful, experiential approach that brings hidden dynamics within family systems into the light, offering understanding and the possibility of healing across generations. Whether you're new to this work or have practiced before, this evening promises to be both profound and intimate.
