Upcoming Events


  • A weekly summer series for nervous system support, restoration, and embodied wellbeing.

    This summer, join us Tuesday evenings for weekly sessions designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and care for your nervous system through calming, wellness-centred practices.

    Each week, we’ll be offering a unique restorative experience.

    Throughout the series, sessions may include:
    ✨ Gentle yoga & mindful movement
    ✨ Breathwork & grounding exercises
    ✨ Guided meditation
    ✨ Sound baths
    ✨ Somatic and nervous system regulating practices
    ✨ Reflective therapeutic exercises
    ✨ Restorative wellness experience

    Held outdoors on the Risework patio (weather permitting), these evenings invite you to pause, exhale, and reconnect in community.

  • Old Books, New Meanings

    Join us for a creative, reflective evening where old books become the foundation for new expression. In this mixed media art workshop, we’ll transform discarded books into textured art pieces using words, shapes, imagery, collage, and intuitive creativity. The sleeve and pages of each book will become your canvas as we layer meaning, emotion, and imagination onto the pages.

    No art experience needed. This workshop is about slowing down, exploring creativity, and creating something personal in a relaxed, supportive space. All materials provided.

    You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind piece and a gentle reminder that even old stories can become something new.
