Our Programs
Every program is a concrete expression of our mission to help people practice mindful presence.
Musical Storytelling
Spellbound
Live music integrated with personal storytelling. A Spellbound evening feels like being in a living room concert where the musician pauses between songs to share the story behind the music—and invites the audience to share theirs too.
The result is something rare in modern life: a group of people, fully present, connected by sound and story. No screens. No distractions. Just music, narrative, and the kind of presence that only happens when art and authenticity meet.
First event: Spellbound in the Forest — July 2025
Nourishing Yourself and Others
Cooking Education
Community cooking experiences that teach practical skills while exploring the deeper meaning of food. Our cooking programs are about more than recipes—they're about learning to nourish yourself and others as an act of care.
From basic knife skills to exploring specific cuisines, these sessions build confidence in the kitchen while creating space for connection and conversation.
Group Mindfulness Practice
Meditation
Group sits welcoming all traditions and experience levels. No dogma, no prerequisites—just space to be still together.
We believe meditation is a skill that benefits from community. Sitting with others creates accountability and deepens the practice in ways that solo meditation cannot replicate.
Whether you're drawn to mindfulness, Zen, Vipassana, or simply want to learn to sit quietly, you'll find a welcoming space here.
Community Dining
Shared Meals
Community dining as a practice of presence and belonging. Our shared meals aren't just about food—they're about creating space where people connect across difference and find common ground.
We practice hospitality that welcomes everyone: dietary restrictions accommodated without fuss, newcomers greeted warmly, conversations that move beyond small talk to genuine connection.
Jobs for Humans
Tech Support
Human-centered technology assistance. In an age of chatbots and automated support, we believe there's value in real people helping other people with their technology.
Tech support is included with membership at collective locations for basic issues. More complex remote or on-site support is available for an additional fee.
This isn't just a service—it's a statement about the kind of organization we want to be: one that creates meaningful work for people, even (especially) in technical roles.
