events CALENDAR
A varied schedule of wholesome events, classes, workshops and socials curated by our founding members.
the slowdown | art jam night
a cosy evening to get back into your flow. bring a sketchbook, canvas, sewing, tablet (whatever you’re making) and work alongside other creatives in good company.
this one’s hosted, not led. no class, no rules, just a gentle nudge to do the thing. we’ll start with a light icebreaker to warm the room, then it’s open session time. stay for an hour or the whole night.
come finish something, start something, or just be around people who get it.
the slow down | nurture (a space to reconnect)
a short, gentle session to come back to yourself.
no rush, no pressure; just a space to slow down and move at the pace your body wants. maybe that looks like movement. maybe breath. maybe stillness. whatever shows up, we move with it… together.
for anyone holding a lot and needing somewhere to set it down.
for anyone who wants to feel a little more human by the end of the day.
bring your breath, come as you are.

the slow down | slowdown, feel, express session
this is not a class.
not a performance.
not something you need to get right.
it’s a space to drop the mask — the version of you that’s “fine” — and come into real, messy, human presence.
we’ll slow down, listen to the body, and move with what’s really there. through gentle, improvisational practices (solo, partnered, and group), you’ll get to feel more, express more, and connect more deeply — without needing to make sense.
there’s no pressure to speak. nothing to rehearse. just an invitation to meet yourself as you are, and let that be enough.
come if you’re tired of hiding.
come if you crave freedom in how you feel and express.
come if you want to be seen without needing to explain.
slow down, feel, express.
you don’t need to know what that means yet. just bring your body.

wellness | embodiment expression & connection workshop
join us for a grounding and expressive journey into deeper connection with yourself. through a mix of individual, partnered and group practices, we’ll explore embodied movement and authentic expression in a supportive, open space.
you’ll have room to experiment with being seen, understood and accepted — letting go of social masks, reconnecting with your true self and finding your flow. this is a relaxed, improvisational session where there’s nothing to get ‘right’, just the chance to show up as you are and feel a little more at ease in your own skin.
come along, let go of the masks, and find your flow!

sip & paint | ABSTRACT ART SOCIAL
this thursday: we’re hosting an abstract sip & paint social.
skip the awkward small talk and come vibe with fellow creatives, photographers, event curators, artists, stylists, musicians, djs, models, brand/ business owners, and those multidisciplinary types who dont fit into a box.
this week’s activity: abstract sip & paint — think unusual techniques, an array of painting utensils, and an opportunity to make artwork outside of your comfort zone. we’ll start with casual ice breakers, a no paint brush & free reign painting segment, and a chance to mingle, cross-legged on cushions, with people as cool as you.
maybe you’ll meet your next collaborator, maybe you won’t. or maybe, at the very least, you’ll leave with a few paintings and a new pal!
