Shared care. Meaningful connection. A little breathing room before the holidays.

Hello, Alchemy Guild Community,

November often brings fuller calendars, familiar traditions, and more opportunities to gather. It can also bring a need for rest, thoughtful boundaries, and connection that leaves us feeling nourished.

This month, we’re making space for all of that.

At Alchemy Guild, we value the ways different practices and practitioners can support a community. Movement, sound, intentional rest, and time together offer opportunities to check in with ourselves and connect with one another.

Our November gathering brings these elements together in one restorative afternoon.

Our featured gathering:

Holiday Preset

A five-hour mini retreat
Saturday, November 21, 2026 | 1–6 PM

A practical wellness focus for November: build in a pause

A full calendar can leave little time to notice how you’re feeling. Before adding another commitment, take a brief pause:

• Check whether you have time to eat, hydrate, and rest around it.
• Leave a little space between activities when possible.
• Consider what kind of connection would feel supportive that day.
• Give yourself permission to communicate your limits clearly.

Small choices can make gatherings more comfortable and help us show up with greater attention for one another.

Community care includes receiving

It can be easy to become the person who organizes, helps, or holds everything together. This month, we invite you to make room for receiving care, too.

Come spend an afternoon with us. Meet local practitioners, enjoy a shared experience, and take time to reconnect before the season becomes busier.

With gratitude,
Jennifer Wilsey & Trava Faust
