What we’re about
Welcome!
The purpose of this group is to highlight wellness-based and community-centric events in Central Oregon. The most common theme of these events involve coming home to your authentic Self, your health, your joy, and a broader community.
We invite event organizers to join this group to add your events. Themes within this group are likely to be very broad and event organizers are a remarkably diverse group of artists, healers, entertainers, visionaries, and more.
In general, there is NOT an expectation to use this Meetup group to actively track RSVPs, event registration, or to communicate about specific events. The focus at this time is to have a cohesive landing page for information. You are still welcome (and encouraged) to RSVP here just so we know you're listening and finding value with this group.
This project is ever-evolving and there are opportunities to support. Please feel free to reach out to Organizers!
We deeply honor the seed gardeners of the former "One Well" Meetup Group, and the loving foundation they built: Barb, Hill, Marci and Shanti.

The Shift: What (On Earth) is Happening?!
Big Story Bookstore, 228 NE Greenwood Ave A, Bend, OR, USMany of us have been feeling a big shift in... well, everything! Let's have a friendly and supportive conversation about what we think/feel is going on (personally and collectively) on planet Earth right now. Could it be
- ancient prophecies coming to fulfillment
- reaching vertical point in technological advancements
- Mama Gaia telling us we've been terrible stewards and we're fired
- the fourth turning of historical cycles
- Kali Yuga choice point for humanity
- evolution of consciousness
- encounters with extraterrestrials
- all of the above? something else? Let's hear what you're feelin!!
How fun to explore these ideas right before 3I Atlas makes its closest approach to us! This is NOT a doom and gloom session. Please come with an open heart and mind. The intention is simply to share, listen, laugh (because sometimes that's all you can do!) and cultivate ideas on how to be stable and resilient in the midst of chaos.
Feel free to post book or media recommendation for us to explore beforehand! Big Story Bookstore is generously hosting us and space is limited so please RSVP to save your spot, then actually show up. ;)
So looking forward to this conversation! Reach out with any questions to Brenda@FromTheFortress.com

Women's Winter Solstice Circle
Hanai Foundation, 62430 Eagle Road,, Bend, OR, US## Peeking into the Darkness and our Divine Femininity
Enter the Womb of Winter:
As we near the Winter Solstice...the longest night of the year...we step into the ancient embrace of the dark. Not the darkness of fear, but the darkness of creation. The same darkness that held us in our mother’s womb, the same intelligence that births seeds beneath the soil, the same quiet mystery from which new light emerges.
This December, we gather as women have gathered for centuries... to honor the sacred feminine, to listen deeply to our own inner knowing, and to root ourselves in the fertile stillness that winter offers.
Reserve your spot here as space is limited:
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/winter-solstice-peak-into-the-darkness-and-our-divine-femininity-tickets-1974948989592?aff=oddtdtcreator
This is an evening to…
- soften into the mystery
- reconnect with your inner light
- rest in a space that nourishes and restores
- connect
- sense what is quietly taking form within you
- feel held, seen, witnessed, and supported in circle
We’ll drop into slowness, weave our intentions with the season’s natural rhythm, and remember the creative power that lives inside the dark... the place where all new beginnings form.
Winter Solstice whispers an invitation:
Let yourself be guided from within. Let the darkness be a friend. Trust what is becoming.
Come join this sacred, soulful evening as we receive, restore, and gently prepare to welcome the returning light.
Circle led by Joy of Wellbeing and Brenda From The Fortress
Tickets via Eventbrite.
What Women Will Receive:
Nervous System Softening
A gentle unwinding... the kind your body has been craving.
You’ll leave feeling more grounded, centered, and nourished.
Connection with Like-Hearted Women
The gift of being seen, heard, and supported in sisterhood.
This circle is a place where masks fall away and genuine connection rises.
A Journey into the Divine Feminine
Time to honor the sacred energy that lives within the darkness...the womb-like mystery that births intuition, creativity, and new beginnings.
Reflection + Inner Clarity
Guided prompts that help you release what’s ready to fall away,
and sense what is quietly gestating within you as the Solstice approaches.
A Reconnection to Your Inner Light
Even on the longest night, your own wisdom is bright.
Ritual, Intention, and Meaning
A chance to step into ceremony...something many women long for without realizing it.
We’ll honor the season, the cycle, and your own becoming.
A Felt Sense of Belonging
That deep, quiet knowing… “I am not alone.”
Embracing the womb from where we all originated...the darkness of creation...from formless to form. The darkness is not to be feared...it's a place of creation!
Thank all those women who came before us, as they have made this life of ours possible!4 attendees - $100.00•Online
