🌿 Spiraling Upwards Workshop Series – Update 🌿
Out of love and care for our community, we’ve decided to postpone the Spiraling Upwards Workshop Series until next month. Due to delayed repairs following a recent incident, we want to ensure that our space is fully comfortable and welcoming before gathering together.
✨ The good news: we are preparing for a full re-launch celebration very soon!
In the meantime, Chill Spot Rendezvous is open with a soft opening, and we warmly invite you to come in, relax, and enjoy our beloved ice cream, desserts, and comfort food.
💬 If you’re interested in attending the Spiraling Upwards workshops next month, please reach out and let us know — your interest helps us plan intentionally.
Thank you for your patience, your support, and the love you continue to show our community. We remain deeply dedicated and look forward to gathering again soon.

Workshop Series:
SPIRALING UPWARDS
Community Workshops on Spiraling Upwards: Power, Energy, Resilience
Life can feel overwhelming at times — stress, relationships, work, family, uncertainty, and emotional ups and downs can easily pull us into patterns that leave us feeling stuck or depleted.
Spiraling Upwards is a community workshop series designed to offer simple, practical, and relatable tools to help people better understand themselves and others, respond rather than react, and navigate life with greater clarity, strength, and steadiness.
These workshops are educational and reflective — not therapy.
There is no diagnosing, no pressure to share personal stories, and no requirement to attend every session. Each workshop stands on its own.
The focus is on:
-
Understanding how thoughts, emotions, and energy impact daily life
-
Building awareness and resilience during challenging moments
-
Strengthening Spiraling Upwards: Power, Energy, Resilience in practical, grounded ways
-
Gaining tools that can be applied immediately to real-life situations
This series is open to everyone — no prior experience required.
