**A deliciously grounding 1-hour workshop that turns chocolate into a calming and quieting experience for your mind and body.** Instead of rushing through a treat, you’ll learn how to slow down, engage your senses, and savor the moment. Through a guided sensory meditation, you’ll experience chocolate in a whole new way, tuning into the subtle shifts and offering a gentle reset for your nervous system. There will be a variety of chocolates to choose from and you will discover how a single bite can become a grounding ritual of presence and pleasure. The sweetness will continue after the workshop ends, as you'll be invited to take some chocolate home to enjoy later...a simple reminder to slow down and relish life’s moments. **Investment: $20 \| EARLY BIRD SPECIAL: $15 \(register by 2/6\)** *Registration deadline is Wed 2/11* Led by Mojgan Pourmand, Psy.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist

If you’re a dad over 35, you probably feel it: * Your energy isn’t what it used to be. * Work stress drains you before you even get home. * The weight has crept on around the middle. * Your kids still have endless energy, but keeping up with them feels harder every year. And deep down, you know your family looks to you as the example. If you’re running on empty, short on patience, and out of shape, that’s the standard you set at home. The **D.A.D.S. Program (Dads Achieving Discipline & Strength)** was built for men like you. Ordinary guys with jobs, families, and full schedules who want to: * **Reclaim strength** so you feel capable, athletic, and confident again. * **Boost energy** so you’re sharp at work and fully present with your family. * **Drop the aches, stiffness, and sluggishness** that make you feel older than you are. * **Find balance and accountability** by training alongside other dads in the same fight. * **Crush male loneliness** by connecting with men who “get it” and have your back. Here’s the best part: You don’t need to be a seasoned gym rat. This is designed for **beginner to intermediate exercisers**—dads who may have been out of the gym for years or have never had a structured program, but know it’s time to get serious.

Higher Grounds – Del Ray is part of a growing network of gatherings where we create space for thoughtful, authentic dialogue about what matters most. Whether we’re exploring the nature of happiness, the challenges and possibilities of midlife, spirituality, culture, capitalism, parenting, or the role of art and travel in a meaningful life, every conversation is shaped by the people in the room. There’s no set leader or rigid agenda—just a shared commitment to listen as much as we speak. We start with brief introductions focused on what makes you *you* (not your LinkedIn bio), then dive straight into whatever is on people’s minds. The direction of each meetup emerges organically, making every event unique. MANDATORY: PLEASE REVIEW OUR COMMUNITY GUIDELINES IN THE GROUP DESCRIPTION. Everyone is expected to engage in respectful conversations and listen deeply as well as share. We have a zero tolerance policy of sexual harassment and hate speech.
