The Healthy Sensitives

### Creati-Time (Body Doubling Hour)

Need a little support getting something done?
Creati-Time is a relaxed body-doubling hour where we gather to work alongside one another. Whether you’re writing, organizing, studying, brainstorming, or finally tackling that task you’ve been putting off, this space helps make it easier to start and keep going.
Body doubling simply means working in the presence of others. For many people—especially creative thinkers, sensitive folks, or people with ADHD—having others quietly working nearby can make focus and follow-through much easier.
During this hour you can:

• Work on a creative project
• Tackle a task on your to-do list
• Write, plan, or organize something
• Make progress on something that’s been hard to start

We’ll begin with a quick check-in where you can share what you plan to work on, spend most of the hour quietly working, and end with a brief check-out to celebrate progress.
This is a supportive, low-pressure environment. You don’t have to be perfectly focused, productive, or finished with your task. The goal is simply to show up, begin, and move something forward.
Fridays at 12:00 PM Pacific
Bring whatever you're working on—and let the group energy help you get started.

Mindfulness Monday — A Gentle Start to Your Week (8:00 AM PT)
Join us every Monday at 8:00 AM for a calm, supportive hour created for people who think deeply, feel a lot, and want a quieter way to begin the week.
We start by checking in about what kind of mindfulness practice the group is in the mood for — meditation, breathwork, gentle reflection, or something else. If no one has a specific request, I’ll guide a simple practice for everyone.
This is not about doing mindfulness “right.” It’s about creating space to arrive, exhale, and feel grounded before the week picks up speed.
No experience is necessary. You don’t need to talk if you don’t want to — you’re welcome to simply listen and be.
Come as you are.

Let’s Talk About Relationships
Highly sensitive people often care deeply about connection — and somehow still end up confused, exhausted, or hurt by it. This is a judgment-free space to talk honestly about what’s actually happening in our relationships.
We’ll share experiences, explore patterns like attachment styles, and celebrate what’s going well — without blaming, fixing, or pretending we have it all figured out. This is not group therapy and it’s not advice-giving unless you ask for it. It’s simply a place to be real with people who get it.
Whether you want to listen quietly or share what’s on your heart, you’re welcome here.

### Simple Living, Tried Gently

A Weekly Experiment Group Inspired by The Art of Simple Living by Shunmyo Masuno
What would happen if we explored simple living together, one small experiment at a time?
This meetup is a slow, curious group for people who want more ease, presence, and clarity in daily life — without turning simplicity into another thing to “do right.”
Each week, we’ll work with a short section of The Art of Simple Living by Shunmyo Masuno, a Zen Buddhist monk and garden designer, and turn insight into gentle, real-life experiments.

***

### How it works

• We meet every Tuesday at noon (12:00–1:00 pm)
• The group runs for 14 weeks
• Each week, we’ll focus on 7 experiments from the book
• You’ll choose 4 experiments to try during the week
• Experiments are small, practical, and low-pressure

When we meet, we’ll:

• Briefly review the week’s theme
• Share which experiments we tried
• Talk about what felt nourishing, awkward, surprising, or clarifying
• Reflect on how simplicity actually shows up in real life — not just in theory

There is no requirement to complete everything. This group is about noticing, not performing.

***

### Joining late is completely okay

If you happen to find this group after it has already started, feel free to jump in.
We’re simply moving through the book seven experiments at a time, so it’s easy to join wherever we are and start experimenting right away.

### What this group is (and isn’t)

This group is:

• Curious, reflective, and experiential
• Focused on how simplicity affects energy, attention, and well-being
• Supportive, conversational, and non-competitive

This group is not:

• A productivity challenge
• A minimalist purity test
• A space for comparison or pressure to “keep up”

***

### Who this is for

• People feeling overstimulated, overextended, or quietly burned out
• Those drawn to simple living, mindfulness, or gentle structure
• Anyone who prefers experimenting over being told what to do
• Folks who enjoy thoughtful conversation and learning in community

No prior experience with the book is required — just openness, curiosity, and a willingness to try a few small things.
