Unwritten Legacies - The Stories We Carry
In a world that often centers motherhood as the default story, it can feel rare - and deeply nourishing - to gather with women who share a difference experience. Unwritten Legacies is a heartfelt and supportive circle for women (and stepmothers) who are childfree - by choice, by circumstances, or simply by following the rhythm of their own lives. This space is for reflection, connection, belonging and celebration.
This warm gathering will be hosted by Unwritten Legacies founders Kristen Rzasa and Donna Vella.
The Art of Wintering
Winter often arrives with mixed feelings. For some, it brings beauty and quiet; for others, fatigue, disconnection, or a sense of simply getting through. This workshop invites you to try something different: to gently befriend winter rather than resist it.
This uplifting, positive psychology–informed workshop weaves together the science of human flourishing and nature’s wisdom, offering a supportive, hopeful (maybe even joyful!) approach to caring for yourself during the season of cozy. Instead of pushing against winter’s slower rhythm, we explore how aligning with it can nurture mental health, physical well-being, and emotional resilience.

January Theme: The Power of Ritual
From communal celebrations like ringing in the New Year, to our daily practices, to the most important moments of our lives — rituals guide our journey. They bind us to one another in celebration, gratitude, and loss. Our January gathering is an invitation to think about the power of ritual in our individual and collective lives and how we can create meaning, a sense of belonging, and peace in our days.
New Year Forest Immersion: The Art of Wintering
The art of wintering is the practice of living in rhythm with the season instead of pushing against it. It invites us to slow down, conserve energy, and listen for what wants to rest and what wants to be tended.

December Theme: Crossing Thresholds
As we approach the end of the calendar year, the idea of crossing thresholds with clarity, courage, and gratitude seems especially relevant. Our December offering is an invitation to think about the changes and transitions in our lives as thresholds — gates or portals that we step through and across with intention and guideposts to lean into.

November Theme: Seeking Simplicity
Valuing simplicity not only increases our pleasure in daily life, it serves as a guard against the bombardment of cultural messages suggesting that we always need something better, newer, different. A vibrant gratefulness practice helps us appreciate the places in our lives where simplicity is not only sufficient but bountiful. Join us in community to explore this as we approach the holiday busyness!
