As practitioners, we hold space for the unknown every day. Lately, that’s been feeling… different.

Collective grief. Systemic injustice. Shifting norms. And through it all, we show up for our clients as they navigate their own deeply personal versions of this ambiguity.

So this month, we’re showing up for each other.

Join us for a Walk & Talk through Palisades Park in Santa Monica, where we’ll reflect, share, and move through the uncertainty together.

🗓 Sunday, March 22nd
🕙 10AM – 12PM
📍 Palisades Park, Santa Monica
🎙 Facilitated by Cori Rosenthal, LMFT (she/her)

To keep things intimate and connected, we’re opening this one to just 6 participants. RSVP using the link in our bio.

Can’t make it this month? Stay tuned for our April Meetup: a mini book club co-hosted by Dr. Lauren Muhlheim in Mid-City!

Monthly Meetups will continue throughout the year with a variety of formats, group sizes, locations, and times to expand accessibility.
We look forward to building community with you ~

As we close out our very first year, we’re pausing to reflect with deep gratitude.
What began as an idea has become a growing community shaped by collaboration, generosity, lived experience, and a shared commitment to challenging weight stigma through an intersectional lens.

Thank you to our sponsors, speakers, volunteers, and everyone who showed up with time, energy, and heart.
We’re proud of what we’ve built so far and excited for what’s ahead in 2026.

Thank you for believing in this work.
Here’s to rest, reflection, and what’s ahead.
