ABUNDANCE IS A HUMAN RIGHT
WITH FERN CAPELLA ALLEN

1212.jpg
March 25th - April 29th
Tuesdays @ 8pm-9pm / Room #2
$5 per class / $30 for the semester

What if everything you’ve been taught about abundance is a lie? What if wealth, success, and limitless opportunity weren’t things you had to earn — but things that were always meant to be yours? This isn’t just a class. It’s an initiation. A paradigm shift. A total rewiring of how you experience abundance. ​Over six weeks, you will: ~ Break free from scarcity conditioning and reclaim your birthright to infinite wealth & success. ~ Step into your highest identity with the exclusive I AM Social Club, where we affirm each other into power. ~ Activate the Laws of Abundance—including Assumption, Attraction, and Circulation—to shift into effortless receiving. ~ Trust-fall into Plentyful Earth, where we reprogram the way we give, receive, and circulate wealth. ~ Burn away every limitation in a powerful FIRE CEREMONY, where you release the old and step fully into your infinite self.  This is not a class where you “learn.” This is a class where you BECOME. Abundance isn’t coming. It’s already here. The only question is — are you ready to claim it? Fern Capella Allen is a trailblazing thought leader, author, and architect of the abundance revolution. With a deep understanding of the Laws of Assumption, Attraction, and Circulation, she is on a mission to dismantle scarcity conditioning and awaken humanity to its birthright of infinite abundance. Founder of the “I AM” Social Club, an exclusive identity-shifting experience where individuals step into their highest selves and affirm each other into success. Creator of Plentyful Earth, a bold new vision for a world where people give and receive freely, trusting in the natural flow of abundance. Fern’s work is not just about changing beliefs—it’s about creating a reality where abundance is the norm. Through her groundbreaking classes, powerful speaking engagements, and revolutionary ideas, she is helping people unlock their infinite potential and claim the life they were always meant to live.

$5 per class / $30 for the semester

Class Duration & Format: 2-hours, participatory including meditation, movement, relational meditation, and intentional conversation practices Embodied Communication + Co-Regulation is all about harnessing our embodied capacities to turn towards natural and nourishing states of being. The current collective moment teaches us to subjugate our nervous systems in various ways; the aim of the practices and wisdom shared here is to help you engage your nervous system in service of regenerative connection, microdosing low stakes yet still authentic connection and using those lessons to better attune to your emotional-relational ecosystem. What Students Will Learn: Participants will learn mindfulness, embodied communication, co-regulation, attunement, and basic wisdom about orienting to healthy ways of connecting. Materials Needed (If Any): Participants are welcome to bring anything to help them feel comfortable sitting on the floor (meditation cushion, backjack, pillows, blankets, etc). About Will O’Connor I’m a coach that focuses on tending to emotional, relational, and spiritual well-being from an ecological framework. That is, I aid clients with attuning to the embodied signatures of well-being and how they can access them within their connections, thus fostering healthy forms of chosen family, village, and community. I help orient clients to tracking their real-time experience and cultivating emergent, embodied language with those close to them in order to harness the benefits of co-regulation and attunement, or the ways our nervous systems interact within relationships, thus allowing for more consistently nourishing connections to flourish. I believe this leads to more deeply integrated ways of stewarding personal development. Outside of coaching, I love dancing, cooking, walks in nature, reading, writing, and just generally enjoy people and life.

WITH JULIE OSBURNE

IMG_1234_edited.jpg
March 25th - April 29th
Tuesdays @ 4pm-5pm / Room #1/2
$5 per class / $30 for the semester

Have you ever felt your voice stuck in your throat—literally or metaphorically? This class is for anyone who longs to sing but feels blocked by self-judgment, fear of taking up space, or trauma held in the body. Through mindfulness, vocal exercises, and play, we’ll explore how to use our voices to release tension, ground in our bodies, and express ourselves authentically. As we learn singing techniques and engage in exercises, we’ll process and share together, with space to explore other forms of expression like movement and theater if the group is interested. About the Teacher: As a former professional musician and voice teacher of 15+ years, I found my passion when students came to me not just to sing, but to unlock their voices. Their voices would catch or shake—often followed by tears and stories of feeling small. I saw how singing could be a pathway to healing and empowerment. Now, as a somatic therapist, I help others reclaim their voices through embodied expression and play. Note: I’ll be bringing my 6-month-old baby to class. He’s a great model of unfettered self-expression, but this also means occasional interruptions! Please assess your own comfort level with this when signing up for the class.

March 25th - April 29th
Tuesdays @ 4pm-6pm
Room #9
$5 per class / $30 for the semester

This class is dedicated to exploring and practicing the art of giving and receiving love. We will learn to be a fountain, not a drain. Building on a foundation of self love is how this fountain will flow. Coming from wholeness within and expanding outward. I’m here to humble myself and tell you that I’m working towards truth, which is that we are love. Our being is love peace and joy and anything besides that is not the truth. We’re here to come together to walk towards that truth as a team. We’re here to help each other on this journey. It may not always be easy. When we go towards this truth, we have to go through all the lies, all the things we’ve believed and in doing this it will bring up unpleasant feelings and emotions. If you want peace love and joy, even if this prior statement scares you, there is undoubtedly excitement behind that fear. The excitement is telling you that you want freedom, and to get there we need to feel all the feelings. Let’s talk about all of this. Let’s be courageous for ourselves and all beings! Let’s step into the places that scare us and come out on the other side so we can be beacons of light for all! Thank you so much for joining on this journey. It first starts within. This is how we give and receive love. We have to love ourselves first. Thank you for taking this step. Thank you for choosing love. Much love -Hunter

Learning dances and drinking the sacred herbal brew was a life changing experience. In Cambodia she explored the temple city of Angkor Wat, offering prayers and incense with the local Buddhists. In Thailand she visited ancient temples and studied Thai massage at the esteemed school of Shivagakomarpaj, the healing lineage that traces its roots back to the Buddha's personal physician. While in China, she practiced Tai Chi with elders. She also brings practices from qigong, and other ancient Taoist healing exercises to add a unique flavor to her classes. Aside from these travels and adventures, Sprout is a lifelong Portland resident, a PCC alumn, a yoga teacher since 2006 and caregiver for senior and disabled people since 2000.

Have you felt the Delphic call toward divination but don’t know where to start? In this 6-week workshop we will dive deep into the understanding of the tarot, bringing together psychology, spirituality, and oracular intuition to develop masterful perception and powerful discernment. We will build our foundation on the comprehension of symbolism in the tarot, cultivating a personal relationship with symbology in which we can each share our unique understanding rather than following strict, dogmatic interpretations that stifle growth and truth. Taking the Major Arcana + each suit in the Minor Arcana one by one, we will learn to communicate with each card. Once we have built the underlying foundation, we will practice doing 1:1 readings for each other as well as group readings. We will also learn how to calculate birth cards, craft penetrating questions for the most effective readings, eloquently articulate our interpretations, and create our own spreads. Bring your deck, if you have one, but there will be decks available to borrow for the duration of the class if needed. Join us to peek behind the veil and tune into the abyss 🔮 What Students Will Learn: Students will learn the history of tarot, the significance of the suits and numbers separately + the meaning of each card, basic spreads + how to create their own spreads, how to calculate a person’s birth cards, and what the tarot should not be used for. They will also practice cultivating and maintaining their own personal relationship with symbolism, articulating their interpretations when reading for others, and crafting poignant and effective questions. Materials: Bring: a 78-card Smith-Rider-Waite tarot deck and a notebook + pen or pencil Provided: A few decks will be available for use for the duration of the class if someone does not have their own.
