Please at least be versed in the basic rules, if you are a beginner that has never played. Meet at the champion court, by the bathrooms. Even though it's drop in when you can, the earlier our members can get there, the better we have a chance of claiming more courts that are close to each other. **A Different Format - Please Read:** What does "drop-in" mean? When you RSVP to the event, you ain't gotta be there right at the start. Stop by whenever and leave when you're ready. I will be there for at least the minimum time posted. Do RSVP so I have an idea of how many to expect, and it's good for the meetup group to track participation. **Play Format:** I need yall's help to keep play fair and fluid for all members. If there are members waiting to be rotated in, the 2 players that just lost in the current game rotate out to wait in line. The first 2 players waiting in line then rotate in, and the players that just won the game stay on court but split up. Holler at me if you need clarification. **What to Expect:** Casual pickleball for all levels; total beginners welcome. This venue is outdoors; if the weather turns, the event may be canceled. Please watch the event page and check your email for updates. We use public courts, and it’s not unusual to wait for court space to become available. **What to Bring:** * Paddle * Balls * Weather appropriate clothing * Hydration * Non-marking court shoes **Important:** If for any reason you are unable to attend, please update your RSVP. Thanks!

Join us for Tea, in the style of a Chinese gung fu tea gathering Friday's at 5pm. Gongfu tea or kung fu tea (Chinese: 工夫茶 or 功夫茶; both gōngfū chá), literally "making tea with skill", is a traditional Chinese tea preparation method sometimes called a "tea ceremony". It is probably based on the tea preparation approaches originating in Fujian and the Chaoshan area of eastern Guangdong.

For those of you who can't make it for Tuesday breakfasts (and anyone else who would like to come) we will be having an additional breakfast EVERY FRIDAY at Copper Canyon Cafe.

The pathway towards awakening wends its way through the depths of our hearts. But our glimpses of the heart are fleeting. Join us to explore how to wake the heart and keep it open, through the powerful avenues of poetry, music, imagery, and text. *"If one learns to listen to the heart, it will tell one things so clearly—what must be done, what must not be done, the real nature of people, places, and things. Only it speaks so quietly, so subtly, and immediately a flood of reactions, explanations, excuses, theories have swamped it, and we do not even recognise it speak. Only listening carefully to what it wants to say, and remaining still until it has spoken, one cannot really do the wrong thing."* \~ Rodney Collin, from *The Theory of Conscious Harmony,* Chapter on *Heart* ***Jennie Hansen*** *is a professional musician and writer who has studied philosophy for 22 years and has been a Director of the Los Angeles Center of the Academy.* ***Banner Image:*** *Mary Magdalene* by He Qi (c.2012)

Last year I was asked about doing La Ventana Arch. It’s always been on the list. Today I was out exploring El Malpais and came across Sandstone Bluffs Trail. As I was looking into it more, I realized it’s only about 10 minutes from Ventana Arch. Sandstone Bluffs is 2.6 miles with wide open views across the desert and lava fields. Ventana Arch is a short walk but such an iconic spot. Since we’re trying to explore new areas this year and mix things up a bit, I thought why not pair them together? We’ll start with Sandstone Bluffs, then head over to La Ventana Arch and take in both in one trip. Two great spots, one drive, something new for us to experience together. See you on the trails.

Three New Mexico writers with new books from Casa Urraca Press will read and discuss their work: Scott Wiggerman, Dodici Apzadu, and Wayne Lee. Emceed by Zach Hively, their publisher, and followed by Q&A. At Albuquerque's Books on the Bosque, 6221 Riverside Plaza Lane, starting at noon.

**On this new moon, you're invited to come celebrate and honor the Sacred Feminine in this powerful ceremony. In this feminine age, the Mother of all Mothers, the Cosmic Mother, is revealing herself to her children. She is dancing powerfully and beautifully to her own internal rhythm as she reveals her sacred heartbeat to us and our world. As she dances, she is shaking the systems of our world, revealing a creative power and potential within her children that will help them give birth to a new and better world. On this night, we will discuss the concept of who the Cosmic Mother is, how she is expressed through the Goddess and the female saints of all traditions, and the role of the priestess that every woman is in her own unique reflection of the Mother. We will finish with a Mother, Goddess, Priestess activation ceremony. This activation will bring you into contact with the powerful presence of the Cosmic Mother and the Goddesses as she awakens the inner priestess within. Archangel Gabrielle, the Holy Woman, and my female students will be assisting in holding space for this event. Men are welcome to attend and receive a spiritual activation from the Cosmic Mother and Goddesses as we support and honor the priestess. I only do this ceremony when I am guided to, so I know Spirit has something special for all who attend. I'm asking for a $40 energy exchange. Please message me to RSVP and for the location. I look forward to an unforgettable evening with all of you. 🙏💜**

**The Love that Walks Beside Us** Listening to the silent language of our animal companions through the lens of Family Constellations. Our pets often stand beside us as quiet witnesses to our lives—holding loyalty, emotion, and sometimes even the unspoken stories of our families. Through the heartfelt and natural process of Family Constellations, we open a doorway to understanding their language, and the profound love that quietly walks beside us each day. Join me to gently explore your pet's behavior, deepen your bond, or process grief after loss in a supportive, heart-centered space. We will be doing several short experiential exercises, one or two mini constellations with volunteers with pet issues, and some sharing. Donations welcome. Margot Gwin is a certified Family Constellation Facilitator living near Santa Fe, New Mexico, with a 25-year background in massage therapy. She combines her love of animals with her work supporting people, offering Pet Constellations for behavior issues and grief after the loss of a pet.

No experience is necessary. Come as you are, learn and practice neuro-somatic techniques for managing stress, creating resilience and re-patterning old habits and cycles. Explore how your nervous system works with this simple and effective set of tools that can be easily duplicated and done by yourself at home! This group meets every 3rd Wednesday of the month from 6:30-8:15pm and is followed by [Somatic Self-Knowing](https://www.meetup.com/sourcings/events/zhrfvtyhcqbwb/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=announce_event&utm_source=link&utm_version=v2&member_id=235254959), a more intuitive somatic self exploration that focuses on body sensations and movement. It is not necessary to stay for both, please feel free to come and go as you need to. If you have any questions you can contact Sermine at info@hearthlightwellness.com Donations are welcome $10-$30 recommended in person, [Venmo](https://www.venmo.com/tyler_begg), [PayPal](https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/US482LAMETZMC), or [Square](https://square.link/u/lvk6sua8) Each meeting I, and others in the group will share tools and information you can take home and use to make foundational change. Both gradual and instantaneous relief from Neuro-Somatic Intelligence (NSI) may occur. The greatest benefits for regulation and re-patterning come from a regular practice because the NSI tools have a cumulative effect on your body's capacity to handle stress and emotions. The advantage of practicing together in a welcoming community is to experience the co-regulation of others and to be reminded on a body and nervous system level that we are not alone in what we are going through. This can help the lesson to become more than just an intellectual understanding. Sermine is a Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Practitioner and Trauma-Informed Parts Work coach with a background in counseling and Compassionate Inquiry. His priority is to provide practical, sustainable, results-oriented methods of personal growth, and healing.
