About Andrew

I began attending this men’s group over 3 years ago after meeting and being invited by Justin Ternes, who formed the group. It wasn’t something that I sought out or was looking for, but it quickly became clear to me that it was something that I needed. 

This group has been a massive benefit in my life. It has improved my ability to feel and express my emotions, improved my relationships, and provided a community of brothers who I can rely on for support when things are tough and celebrate with when things are going well.

My work as a physical therapist specializing in pain has led me to seek out many different ideas, approaches, and modalities. It has helped me to view pain through many different lenses, and been a catalyst for me to face my own pain and suffering. I see my work in continuing the Legacy of this group as part of my larger mission to reduce human suffering, for others as well as for myself.

And while I am the current “leader” of the group, the group is really led by its members. I am simply here to try to help preserve the values and integrity of the group as it continues to naturally morph and change.

Just show up or text/call Andrew at (301) 514-2954 with any questions!

Full Moon Release

Sunday, August 18th

6:30pm-8:30pm

Meet your facilitator: Makayla is a 200hr Yoga Teacher through Sage Yoga Studios in Fallbrook and is passionate about creating sacred spaces for individuals to come home to themselves. Makayla felt so disconnected from herself for years after experiencing debilitating chronic pain following a work injury. Discovering yoga and primal movement saved her life! She recognizes and honors the medicine that movement, meditation, yoga, and breath work have to offer. Makayla feels most connected to Spirit and herself when incorporating these in her daily practices.

About the event: The Full Moon in August is especially powerful because it is a Supermoon! This means the moon is unusually close to Earth, making it appear extra bright and beautiful. Because we contain so much water in our body, the moon intensifies emotions and boosts energy; an opportune time to sit with our emotions, release, and manifest. 

This Full Moon Release incorporates deep meditation, yoga, primal movement/dance, breath work, and sacred journaling time. You don’t need to be a pro yogi or dancer to join, ANY BODY is welcome! Upon your arrival, we will do brief introductions followed by a guided meditation. You will set intentions for what you desire to release and what you want to bring into your life, then move energy with yoga, breath work, and primal movement/dance. We will close with journaling and commune in a gratitude circle. 

To maximize your experience, please bring the following:

•Yoga mat or blanket

•Water

•Journal+Writing Tool

•Pillow for meditation and release

•Wear comfy clothes to do movement in

•An open heart and mind

With Gratitude and Blessings,

Makayla

Exchange: Please send Venmo or bring cash.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to bring what you desire into your life?

In this 6-part series, Francesca Bandino guides you through effective metaphysical techniques that she has worked with for years to manifest things into reality, both big and small. In her experience, some things have taken a few hours to manifest, and others have taken a few years. There are various components at play when working with manifesting something you desire into your life.

Francesca believes in taking a practical approach, always with the intention to do what is for the highest good of all, and allowing it to flow in with ease.

*We will begin and end each class with a Chakra Healing to Release and Receive*

You are welcome to bring your own journal and pen, or use the worksheets that Francesca has created for you.

8/14 - Week 4: Co-creating with Your Higher Self

Within this workshop, Francesca shows you how to get to know your Higher Self and use this relationship as an amazing resource for you. Your Higher Self is your Soul, the Spirit version of yourself that represents the most authentic version of you. It has lived many lives before today’s version of you and may live more lives after.

7/31 - Week 2: Ask and Let Go (a lesson in trust and patience) 

Once we set our intention and make our request, we must give the Universe time and space to make it happen. In a fast-paced world where we expect to receive what we ordered immediately, this is especially difficult. Francesca gives tips and tools for letting go and bringing trust and patience into your practice.

NEW Weekly offering!!

Adult Art Lab

Life  is complicated and the more and more we consume and don’t take time to create and express… the more and more we move farther away from ‘feeling better’.

Why?…because we need to learn how to FEEL TO FEEL BETTER!

This is one of the main reasons I created ADULT ART LAB! My name is Robin Rene Burgin and I am a Somatic + Sensorimotor Art Therapy Practitioner. It is my mission to change how ADULTS experience ART! 

I am excited to tell you more about ADULT ART LAB! 

ADULT ART LAB is a weekly class that is designed to transport you back to a time of childlike wonder. Where, you are free to express yourself, let loose and let go of all your daily pressures. AND JUST BE without expectation.

ADULT ART LAB is built on the foundations of Sensorimotor Art Therapy®, Somatic Experiencing® and Neuroscience. Through art we will be curious, explore and learn about ourselves and what we hold inside.

Here, you simply get to BE AND DETACH FROM THE MONOTONY OF THE DAY TO DAY ADULTING AND be transported into a whole different realm of creativity and play that you haven't experienced since you were a child.

Which will allow you to release the pent up stress, overwhelm, and anxieties of daily life or begin to release the bracing, holding and grief from past lived experiences that may be leaving you feeling helpless, hopeless and isolated. 

ADULT ART LAB is an environment that you can come to and drop all of that at the door and explore your felt sense with a professional who will hold space for you to creatively express yourself. Forget the pressure of creating a finished product or artistic perfection. Here, the focus is on the journey of exploration itself. Through various artistic mediums, be it painting, drawing, sculpture, collage or even poetry– you'll be guided to tap into your emotions and experiences, even those hidden from your conscious mind.

Each week you will be given a new creative practice to explore. No artistic skills needed! Only curiosity!

You will leave ADULT ART LAB:
🧠 KNOWING yourself better than ever before!
💪🏼 EMPOWERED by your inner wisdom
🌳 GROUNDED in your ability to access your cultivated resources for play, creativity, and passion at any moment.
🫶🏼 CONNECTED to a community of like-minded individuals who share your desires to flourish, grow, and create change.

Magical Messages

Thursday, June 27th

6-7:45 pm

Class Description:

I will start the session with a meditation for grounding and relaxation. I will then open up the channel to the Other Side and begin delivering magical messages from Spirit, the Angels, or even your Higher Self for healing, growth, and moving forward. I will give as many Readings as time allows, but not everyone may receive a Reading. Often Spirit brings multiple people together who will need to receive similar messages. I will then end the session with a short Q&A before thanking Spirit for bringing through the messages that were needed.

I believe that we are all always surrounded by Angels, Spirits and loved ones on the other side and that during a session, only the ones with messages for healing will step forward.

Artist/Medium Bio

Francesca Bandino is a Psychic Medium, Fine Artist, Energy Healer, and Spiritual Teacher.

In her work as a Medium, Francesca brings through messages from the other side for healing and guidance to help you move forward in this lifetime. She does this by communicating with loved ones who have passed, the Angels, your Spirit Team, the Ascended Masters, and your Higher Self. 

Francesca considers herself a painter of feelings. She uses energetic movement and visible brush strokes to express her emotions and points of view, no matter what she paints. She feels the presence of Angels who often guide her through her creations. Her use of color is assertive and joyful.  

Francesca’s mission is to help her clients continue their journey of healing and growth through her Spiritual work and her artwork. She wants those who work with her to know that we are never alone. We will always be guided and supported when we ask for help. Francesca began to show and sell her paintings in 2017 and started to have solo exhibitions in 2018. She then began the work of Medium and Energy Healer in 2020.

Francesca was born in Sardinia, Italy and raised in New Jersey. At the end of 2021 she drove across the country to settle in San Diego, CA. Francesca's objective was to be in the place that inspired so many of her paintings and continue the flow of beautiful creations.

Meet your teachers Nichole + Jeanine:

Nichole Anne Ferro is a Psycho-Somatic Trauma Recovery Coach, Somatic

Educator, Breathwork Facilitator/Educator, Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Educator, Womb Medicine Women, and Ceremonialist.

She has been in the Healing Arts industry for 15 years and is devoted to

various practices of holistic healing. Nichole has over 3,000 training hours in trauma-informed; yoga, breathwork, somatic therapy, and nervous system recovery, and has over 10,000 teaching hours. 

Nichole completed the year-long graduate-level program Compassionate Inquiry with Dr. Gabor Mate, 3 months certification from the School for Shamanic Arts, year-long program with Melanie Swan to become a certified Womb Medicine Woman, 50hr Somatic Psychedelic Facilitator certification through the Embody Lab with teachers such as Dr, Richard Schwartz, Dr. Peter Levine and more, and a year-long Somatic Educator certification through the Somatic Institute for women with David Bedrick, Dr. Saida Desilets, and more. 

Through years of study and practice, Nichole has learned firsthand that the healing process is not linear but more like a spiral that contracts and expands. She believes surrendering to the spiral process of birth, growth, death, and rebirth is crucial to deeply understanding Self. She firmly believes we hold ancient wisdom within that is designed to heal old wounds and broken patterns that are holding us back from reaching our fullest potential.

Nichole is the Founder of Somatic Arts Academy. The Somatic Arts Academy is a school that offers certifications in various holistic and trauma-informed healing modalities. It was founded on the belief in the transformative power of the body-mind connection while profoundly normalizing the human landscape. The academy is a sanctuary for those seeking to explore the rich terrain of somatic arts facilitation, where the body becomes a canvas for creative expression, self-discovery, and holistic well-being - and you become the guide to support people’s transformation.

Nichole has developed the Embodied Breathwork Certification, and Guided Visionary Meditation Certification, and co-created the Somatic Arts Facilitator Certification with Jeanine Talento, for both in-person and online programs. 

She is dedicated to helping others reclaim their body, mind, and spirit, and specializes in supporting others in reclaiming their authentic nature, reconnect with themselves, and create a life they love living.

Jeanine Talento, E-RYT 500, is a Trauma-Informed Educator, Yoga Teacher Trainer, Somatic Arts Facilitator & passionate writer. Jeanine believes in the power of healing through reclaiming the body as the central space through which we experience life. Jeanine believes that through nervous system education and embracing vulnerability, individuals can learn to revere and celebrate all parts of who they are, thus living more full and vibrant lives.

An outspoken and unconventional facilitator of 1:1 mentorships, Yoga Teacher Trainings, Somatic Facilitation courses, Retreats & Women’s circles, Jeanine brings a light hearted approach to Trauma-Informed work that normalizes and releases shame around the difficulties of being human. A firm believer that healing requires a sense of humor, Jeanine loves to infuse her lectures and trainings with the opportunity to reclaim joy, playfulness, and laughter. The foundation of Jeanine’s work is that liberation from trauma requires a collaboration of compassionate inquiry, somatic curiosity, releasing shame, and recognizing our limiting core beliefs. The mission of all Trauma-Informed endeavors is to create a safe space where folks can explore their inner landscape with patience and permission.

Jeanine’s yoga journey began in 2006 in New York City as a way to seek relief from mental health struggles including anxiety, OCD, and insomnia. Little did she know, the same perceived suffering that brought her to Yoga would be exactly what she alchemized into her power, purpose, and personalized offerings. Jeanine uses a multidisciplinary approach to body-based interventions that gradually guide her clients to orient towards feelings of safety and regulation within their physical form. Her work is invigorated by and founded on the belief that:

Soma is Spirit & your embodiment is your art.

In other words, the precious and nuanced journey back home to the body is a spiritual endeavor that opens us up to a life of more meaning, expression, and connection.

A long time student of Psychology, Jeanine is adamant about the intersection of Yoga and Trauma-Informed principles. She received her B.S in Psychology and Communications in 2013 from CUNY Queens College and has 3000+ hours of Trauma-Informed Training. Jeanine weaves the powerful topics of Yoga for Mental Health, Addiction, and Trauma into YTT curriculum in a way that is accessible, inclusive, and allows for integration.

Jeanine is committed to her on-going development as a teacher, space holder, and human being. Jeanine completed the year long graduate level program Compassionate Inquiry with Dr. Gabor Mate, six-month Introduction to Internal Family Systems with Dick Schwartz, a year-long Certificate in Contemplative Psychotherapy at the Nalanda Institute, and an Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy Certificate through The Embody Lab.
