Hello Pittsburgh People :)

I hope you all are doing well. Here are some upcoming community events to consider checking out :

ECSTATIC DANCE - This Saturday, August 23rd

MORE INFO AND TICKETS HERE

I first found Ecstatic Dance in 2013, when my girlfriend at the time encouraged me to try it in San Francisco. I felt a bit awkward and out of place, since I didn’t really consider myself a dancer… After going a few more times, I had a 💡 LIGHTBULB moment- for all my life previously- dance was always EXTERNALLY focused - trying to make my friends laugh, avoid being made fun of, or trying to dance with someone else- but in Ecstatic Dance, I was finally able to tune into my INTERNAL experience :

🤸‍♂️How did I want to move?
🔥What inner feelings could I express or alchemize through movement?
🐬 How could I simply have fun without caring how others perceived me?

The welcoming atmosphere of Ecstatic Dance has allowed me to develop a very healing, liberating and fun relationship with dance over the last 12 years.

I’m very excited and grateful to be a guest facilitator at @ecstaticdancepgh this weekend and to have the magnificent @djnicenate return to bring an incredible set and fresh energy ⚡️

I’ll be leading the opening circle and guiding everyone through a fun group exercise to get some good vibrations flowing before we shift into full dance mode 🙌 If you’re near Pittsburgh, I encourage you to consider joining us on the dance floor ⚡️💜🌅

WELLNESS IN THE WOODS FAIR - Sunday Aug. 24th

MIND. BODY. MONEY

Sunday August 31st - Metta : A Healing Arts Community - 5118 Penn Ave.

A movement-based workshop to unpack your money story & shift it with your whole being. Transform your financial future from the inside out.

More Info + Tickets

What if your beliefs about money aren’t just in your mind, but living in your body?

Your money stories live as patterns of energy in your nervous system. These patterns shape how you think, feel, and act, and your actions create your financial reality. When you explore these patterns with your body & breath, you can start to shift them. This is where real change begins: from the inside out. You are not defined by your past, your upbringing, or your experiences with money. This is your chance to start fresh.

Join Somatic Expressive Arts Therapist Alyssa Jurewicz Johns and Money Mindset Coach GianCarlo Lies for a one-of-a-kind workshop that blends mindset work with movement & reflection. Because changing your relationship with money takes more than spreadsheets.

This isn’t a finance class. No pie charts. No budgets. No shame. Just your body, your story, and some curious exploration.

We’ll uncover hidden beliefs like “Money is the root of all evil” or “I’m just not good with money.” Through journaling, group sharing, simple movement & relational play, you’ll learn where those stories came from, and how to start letting them go.

Whether you’ve been hustling for years or are just beginning to unpack your money mindset, this is your invitation to get curious (not critical), and take a new step forward.
