Gatherings & Experiences to cultivate connection, creativity, and vitality
Process & Therapy Groups to foster brave, support spaces for communal grow
Workshops & Trainings to raise awareness and deepen learning
Rituals & Retreats to protect sacred space to integrate mind, body, and spirit
We invite you to gather, commune, and grow with us.

In the Gallery: Acolyte by Johanna Christianson
We are honored to hold space in our Apothecary this month for Acolyte, a body of work by Johanna Christianson. Our gallery is open to the public Thursday-Saturday 12-4.
Acolyte was birthed during the pandemic when Johanna found a meditative practice in branding ropes from single-use plastics. These ropes found their way into her studio where she played with light to cast shadows. The result is a complex, contemplative series of paintings that remind us of the power of tending to light and hope in dark times.

Pioneer Square Art Walk: SWATHE by Ellen Cline
We are proud to be holding space for a body of work created by Ellen Cline, a local multidisciplinary artist and psychotherapist.
SWATHE
”I’m curious about how bodily, tactile ways of working with material can shape and change our internal landscapes. In times of ambiguous loss, how do we retrieve, honor, work with what remains? Wrapping, sewing, knitting, and weaving are care-giving gestures that ravel forward a map in the dark.”
