NOSC: Community Integration

Have you ever experienced a non-ordinary state of consciousness (NOSC)? A NOSC includes a brief yet profound alteration to perceptions and awareness, often induced by flow state activities or psychedelics, such as yoga, dance, prayer, Psilocybin, MDMA, and Ketamine. These states have the potential to heal, especially when integrated.

Gather in community for a group exploration and integration of non-ordinary states of consciousness led by certified Psychedelic Guide, Brittany Spoolstra. Brittany will lead a grounding meditation and the creation of a group altar. You will then be mindfully guided to call forward past experiences and share healing wisdom with the cohort. Time will end with a closing devotion, and you'll leave with a renewed sense of self and connection to community.

You are invited to bring a nature-based altar offering, such as flower petals, leaves, rocks, sand, etc.

Meet your facilitator: Brittany is a West Michigan native, nature enthusiast, and music lover. She uplifts the power of the inner healer as she works to de-stigmatize mental and spiritual health. Brittany has provided over 200 hours of psychedelic support and is certified in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT) with Naropa University.

This gathering does not include the ingestion of psychedelic substances, and is not for promotion, seeking, or medical advice concerning illegal substances.

Autumn Equinox Mabon Moon Circle

Join Meagen in sacred community to honor a rare and powerful cosmic alignment -- the second New Moon in Virgo, a partial solar eclipse, and the Autumnal Equinox. This rare portal is the perfect moment to pause, reset, and align with the shifting seasons.

Time will begin by sharing altar items—symbols of personal meaning that you’ll take home after the event—woven together into a collective sacred space. You’ll be guided through a ceremony of release and intention-setting focused on gently letting go of what no longer serves you as you welcome in clarity, groundedness, and vision for the months ahead.

The circle will lead into a deeply nourishing Restorative practice designed to soften your body, reset your nervous system, and open your heart to new possibilities. The evening will close with intentional Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation harmonizing with the equinox’s balance of light and dark. This practice will help plant your intentions in the fertile soil of the subconscious and restore balance within.

Allow yourself to be held in the magic of community, the moon, the eclipse, and the turning of the wheel of the year. Bring your yoga mat, a water bottle, a journal and pen, and warm socks, and something meaningful for the group altar.

The Mindfulness of Emotions

Do you have a love/hate relationship with your emotions—you enjoy them when you feel good but quickly decide that something must be wrong when you feel bad?

You are not alone. We all experience a push and pull with our emotions and can benefit from exploring them in a truly mindful way. Meet April Kaiserlian (LMSW) for a guided afternoon of learning how to welcome your emotions with acceptance, curiosity, and care in order to unlock their messages of wisdom, compassion, and connection.

Using mindfulness and April’s unique approach of Steady-Study-Shape, you will discover the ability to center yourself as you experience the full range of your emotions, how to “rough draft” their wisdom, offer a skillful boundary or request, and negotiate in relationship to yourself, others, and the world. 

April will guide the group through several grounding practices, movement techniques, and periods of stillness. You'll listen to your adaptive inner child, wise adult, and shadow self all while using your body as your guide to tune into your emotions with awareness, self-compassion, and self-care. 

Wear comfortable clothes you can easily move in and bring a yoga mat, journal, and pen. Light snacks, coffee, and tea will be provided.

About April: April has been practicing and teaching mindfulness and self-compassion for 15 years. She is a certified meditation teacher through Dharma Moon and the Tibet House and participates in monthly mentoring with her meditation teacher and author, Ethan Nichtern. April also maintains a psychotherapy practice for individuals and couples. She is passionate about combining meditation practices and psychotherapy to deepen our connection to our very real, messy, human emotions. When she teaches she likes to wear her t-shirt that says, "I love to be irritated" because loving irritation (and all emotions) is how we transform these energies into wisdom and compassion.

Time will begin with a guided meditation, led by Rachel, to get you out of your head and ready to embrace the blank page.

After discussion you’ll take time to freewrite or to play with writing prompts that Rachel has prepared. End your afternoon with an optional sharing circle to hear and tell stories from within the group.

Whether you’re new to the craft or are a seasoned writer, you’ll leave empowered to continue your writing practice.
