Change Studio: Time to Get Unstuck

Challenge your thinking. Reflect deeply. Play with your next step.

Coffee & Change is a recurring gathering in local cafés for people who want to think more clearly, challenge old narratives, and consider new possibilities.
Each session centers around a real-life theme—like indecision, resistance, doubt, or goals—and blends open conversation, guided reflection, and coaching-inspired tools to help you see what’s coming up for you and explore what could be next.
You’ll walk away with sharper self-awareness, a new way of thinking, and maybe even a next step that feels lighter—and more doable—than before.

Our Topic This Week:

• Resistance: Why It Shows Up & How to Work With It
• Why does it feel like we have to fight against ourselves to achieve the things we truly want?

What to Expect:

• A small group of thoughtful humans
• A bold theme or concept to spark reflection
• Space to write, speak, and explore what the topic means for you
• Questions and conversations that challenge your thinking and expand what's possible

Meeting Details:

• Hosted in cafés across Oakland & the East Bay (surroundings may be noisy)
• Please arrive early to grab coffee—we begin right on time
• Bring a notebook and pen
• Come ready to think, question, and engage
• Small group sessions that last ~ 60 minutes

Because space is limited, please only RSVP if you genuinely plan to attend.

Join us for an afternoon of guided journaling, quiet reflection, and meaningful connection.
Our theme this month is Powerful Questions.

As the year begins, this Heart on Paper workshop invites you to slow down and turn inward — not to look for answers outside yourself, but to work with the questions that already live within you.

Through guided prompts and quiet reflection, we’ll explore how asking honest, well-formed questions helps your mind do what it naturally does best: search, notice, and connect.

Together, on the page, we will experience journaling as a practical tool for self-exploration and clarity, using questions as a way to access insight from within.

This workshop is an opportunity to:

• Slow down and listen inward, instead of searching for answers outside yourself
• Work with powerful questions that open perspective
• Explore what you want more of in 2026 through writing
• Connect in a supportive space where reflection is valued
• Leave with one or more questions you can carry with you into the year ahead

What to expect:

• Thoughtful and imaginative journaling prompts
• A warm, welcoming space (sharing is always optional)
• Time to reconnect with yourself through writing, stillness, and presence

You don’t need to consider yourself a “writer.” Just bring a notebook, a pen, and a bit of curiosity.

Facilitated by:
Janine Grossmann and Laura Paradise – two certified coaches who believe in the power of words, self-trust, and the heart’s quiet guidance.
