Have you ever scanned your phone for moments of complete authenticity, past and present. When you and your community are not concerned with how you appear, but only to capture the raw truth of the moment—the joy, the pain, the sorrow, the love, the longing. Little kids are really good at it, and then the research shows that for young girls in particular (around age 12), they start to question what they know and adjust to social standards to ensure acceptance (research by Carol Gilligan).

What would you say and do differently if no one could judge you and there was no consequence? How might you move through the world? Join us tomorrow, for a free digital convo, on how to be real in a world that encourages shallowness and glossiness. And if you’re not free at 1pm EST, sign up anyway and you’ll be sent the recording.

Anxiety has served us well over the past two years–it has kept us going, allowing us to show up for work and our families when we may have wanted and needed to quit–but it has also cut us off from our intuition, pleasure centers, and ability to settle into rest, relaxation and joy. You may notice you are high functioning, but feel like you’re on autopilot and going through the motions of life rather than truly living it. Many interventions for “getting rid of” anxiety actually fuel it. In reality, cognitive interventions cannot be applied to a body-based challenge. Anxiety is our body’s way of letting us know it has a message for us. Join us for an evening of tuning into this message and leave with a series of practices that will enable you to tend to your anxiety so that it loosens its hold on your daily life.

This evening will include 3 components:

Support Circle: Learn the evolutionary science behind anxiety, get a better understanding of the unmet needs your anxiety is cueing you into, connect with yourself and others who are interested in living in the sensations of aliveness.

Community Acupuncture: Receive an acupuncture treatment using points located in the ears that soothe the nervous system to promote ease and tranquility in your body.

Somatic Awareness Guided Meditation: Tune in to your sensory experience to ground your body in moment by moment awareness, and befriend the breath as a tool to support joy and rest.

To honor our lived experiences during the pandemic, Spoke would like to offer you the space to reflect on the past and to bring forward what supports you in dreaming and intention setting for the future. We will be partnering with , national employee-owned art supply store.

The last year 2 years…have been a whirlwind of intensity, adjustment, coping, chaos, numbness, joy, loss, excitement, fear…We’ve managed to push through, but there have been relatively few opportunities for real reflection. When we’re searching for something to jog our memories about an experience or a moment in time, we often resort to scrolling through the photographs on our phones. Inevitably, we find images of forgotten moments or find ourselves smiling, laughing, or crying as the visceral experience of that time and place comes rushing back.

Spoke would like to offer you the creative environment to get those images out of your phone and integrated into your mind and life. A space to process and reflect on the past months, and to make meaning of your experiences while looking forward to the year ahead. A space to sort through what lessons and moments you’d like to carry with you as you move into a new period of your life and how they inform the dreams you have for the days to come. Join us for an afternoon of crafting and reflection. You will leave with a scrapbook created by you in community with others, allowing you to move from the cloud to the page and to engage with your memories and dreams in a tactile way.

Sign up for an afternoon of creativity, co-facilitated by and .

You are a wonder. To be in relation to others exposes and lifts up all the joy and complexity of human-ness. What a privilege to be a part of it all.

What are the things you need to hold front and center so you can show up authentically in your relationships? How do you lean into harnessing your power and taking on the risk?

18/01/2022

To be authentic is to risk being misunderstood--by expressing where we are in our processes of self-knowing and becoming, we are committing to not getting it right, to offending, and to fumbling.

This does not mean we should blindly spew without reflection, but Perhaps we could lead with statements like: "I think, I feel, I believe" because they invite relationship.

These statements are rooted in understanding (either limited or extensive) of our identities and histories and by putting them out into the world, we set conversation and connection into motion.

We come to feel safe in relationships through the process of rupturing and then repairing. If we avoid conflict, we also avoid the potential of feeling cared for and loved after a fight. We develop new grooves in our brain when we express our madness and feel accepted in the aftermath. This is how we heal: rupture and repair, over and over again.

12/01/2022

To be authentic is to not get it right all the time.

You will make mistakes. You will offend. You will feel like you could have done it better.

If you are held in positive regard by everyone at all times, you may not be living out who you really are. Follow the lead of Paulo Freire, who encourages us to "act and then reflect" over and over again.

Do not stay in a paralyzed state of reflection: there is no out from here.

Join us for a 4-session biweekly in-person circle series led by , LCSW, recovered anorexic and social and cultural analyst: Nourishment: Food, Hunger and Body Image.

This series will kick off on 1/24 and this circle will likely sell out very quickly, as space is limited for socially distanced cushions!

Appetite is defined as a natural desire to satisfy a bodily need. So then what makes our relationship to it so complex and loaded? What happens for us as we feel our hunger, for both food and our soul desires, that can be so terrifying or threatening? What would it be like to give ourselves permission to be fully in our bodies and trust them to guide us toward what we want and need? Join this 4-session biweekly series to begin to map out your journey to fullness and develop more empowering relationships with food and your body.

10/01/2022

The narrative around the holidays is one of warmth, merriment and togetherness.

At Spoke, we want to hold closely the ones for which this holiday season is anything but joyous. You are not alone in your heartbreak.

For many and for a multitude of reasons, the holidays can be synonymous with grief, loneliness and pain. We see you. We're with you. We're holding you in mind and heart.

Emotions are complex and fluid. Your joy, your pain, your excitement, and your anxiety can coexist. We’re here for all of it.

We have a new DIGITAL drop-in offering—come to one, a few or all!

As women, we often carry tremendous emotional weight. We hold onto responsibility and expectation to be everything for everyone around us. This leaves us with the question: "What about me?"

Come share that weight with us. This circle has been created with the intention to provide a safe, non-judgemental space to work through issues that are meaningful to us and release what we want to let go of. We will dive into many of the challenges that women face, develop greater self-awareness, and connect with one another in our joy and in pain by expressing and processing our inner worlds.

We will explore topics related to relationships, sef-care, developing self-compassion, forgiveness and healing, freedom, s*x, and other parts of our experience that may feel off limits or transgressive in our current relationships. By exploring these topics together, we will come away feeling empowered to be and express our authentic selves and experience the felt sense of belonging and togetherness.

Come as you are. Find your circle.
