A Call To The Primal Man: Fire Ceremony
For the men who are tired of carrying everything alone…
And ready to remember what real brotherhood feels like.
We gather to ground, breathe, and speak truth together through:
✔️ Ceremonial-grade cacao + intention setting
✔️ Grounded presence meditation to settle your nervous system
✔️ Primal qi gong to awaken your life force
✔️ Intentional silence and witnessing around the fire
✔️ Somatic alchemy to transform pain into power, capacity, and embodied pleasure
✔️ Drums, didgeridoo, and the sound of men at ease among brothers
Bring your challenges.
Leave with clarity rooted in your own inner authority.
Squishy Sound Sessions in a Dome
Join us for a cozy, intimate evening of live sound and creative collaboration inside the Honeycomb Dome, hosted by Gloria Merrick and Sam Bottner.
This 20-foot glass-paneled sanctuary transforms into a warm, cushioned space for musicians, vocalists, producers, and creatives to experiment freely and co-create in real time. We’ll explore cacao, vocal toning, world instruments, ambient beats, and open jam moments—capturing the magic as we lightly record the session so you can leave with inspiration (and audio) for your own projects.
Bring your voice and a small live instrument (uke, flute, shakers, drum, guitar, etc.). Light electronic setups welcome. Expect cozy floor seating, shared mics, soft textures, and a relaxed, cuddle-puddle style vibe.
Come open. Come inspired. Come ready to discover the melody that wants to emerge.
Feel free to invite a musical friend who’s aligned ✨

The Love Hormone
Enjoy a cup of uplifting tea while learning to tap into your body’s safety and resilience powerhouse, oxytocin. Then Misty will lead you through a somatic journey as you use your new skillset to cultivate a blissful journey that will upgrade your nervous system and increase neuroplasticity.
About Misty:
Misty is a somatic coach with three years of experience supporting individuals through nervous system–based healing and restoration. Grounded in a degree in addiction counseling and informed by an IFS (Internal Family Systems) lens, her work centers on bottom-up approaches that honor the body as a primary pathway to change.
With over a decade of meditation practice and formal training, she integrates somatic bodywork, nervous system education, and a deep passion for polyvagal theory to help clients reconnect with safety, resilience, and inner regulation. Her classes focus on nervous system training and restoration, offering practical tools to increase vagal tone, build capacity for presence, and gently unwind patterns shaped by stress, trauma, or addiction.
Through guided somatic practices, mindful awareness, and compassionate inquiry, clients learn to listen to their bodies, restore regulation, and cultivate lasting self-trust—creating change that is not forced from the top down, but organically grown from Within.
Sunflower Club Open Mic
“The most authentic, welcoming, sacred open mic I’ve ever experienced.” – Tanai Milgram
Sunflower Club is an inclusive gathering for creativity, community, and expression. An open-mic style format, all modes of creativity are welcome, from poetry to music to storytelling to dance to comedy.
We believe that creative expression is a healing modality. Making art should not be reserved for a privileged class of professional artists. Our motto: it’s not about being good at creativity. It’s about creativity being good for you.
Everyone is welcome. Bring something to share, or just come to listen, meet other creators, and soak up the vibes.
Event schedule:
6:30–7pm: Come early to add your name to the list
7:00–9:30pm: Open mic
9:30–10pm: Community hangout
Signups are on a first come, first serve basis.
Hosted by James McCrae
James McCrae (@wordsarevibrations) is an artist, poet, 3x published author, and teacher at the intersection of creativity and mindfulness.
This is a FREE event held on the second Tuesday of every month.

A cozy, intimate evening of collaborative sound unfolds inside the Honeycomb Dome, hosted by Gloria Merrick and Sam Bottner. This 20-foot glass-paneled dome becomes a warm, cushioned sanctuary for music, creativity, and connection unlike anywhere you’ve gathered before.

Musicians, vocalists, producers, and creatives are encouraged to experiment freely, co-create in real time, and capture the magic. The session will be lightly recorded so participants can take pieces of the jam back into their own projects.

A Call to the Primal Man: Fire Ceremony
Come with a challenge, leave with a clear solution from your own inner truthful authority received from grounded presence.
A grounded fire gathering for men seeking clarity, presence, and real brotherhood without performance, fixing, or forced vulnerability. This is a men’s gathering for those who want clarity, steadiness, and real connection
This is a 2-hour Primal Masculine Fire Ceremony for men who feel isolated in their strength and know, quietly, that doing everything alone is costing them something.
You will be guided through:
A grounded presence meditation to settle the nervous system
Primal qi gong activation to awaken and circulate life force
Intentional silence and witnessing around the fire
A somatic alchemy of pain into capacity, power, eros, and embodied pleasure
Brotherhood was never meant to be intellectual. It was meant to be felt. If something in you is tired of standing alone, trust that signal.
