Spiritual Support Group

Get grounded, feed your soul, and express yourself in a safe & supportive environment

With Ryan Drodz, Reiki Master & Sound Healer

Second and Fourth Tuesdays of each month starting May 27th from 7pm-8:30pm 

If you are seeking support on your spiritual path, craving authentic connection, and need a space to speak your truth, look no further! Ryan will open each group with a brief sound meditation to help participants get grounded, then share his own spiritual experiences, struggles, and self-expression practices. This group is held in an open forum style. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences, challenges, and joys with no pressure to do so. Sharing within the group is optional.

Ryan wishes to serve others walking a spiritual path after hearing similar struggles from others on their journey. Please read through the group rules before attending. These rules must be honored to provide safety, common ground, and respect for other participants.  

Is this group right for you? Read the below and if you agree to the below then this may be the right group for you:

1. Spiritual Support Groups are confidential–what is shared in the group stays within the group. Do not share names, stories, and details about attendees outside of a group that could be used to identify them. This is a safe space that encourages vulnerability, authentic expression, and spiritual growth.

2. The group is held in an open forum style. If you would like to speak, limit responses to 3-5 minutes to allow everyone a chance to speak. Refrain from crosstalk and talking over others. Discrimination and rudeness will not be tolerated in this group.

3. Offering genuine support and encouragement is highly recommended! Keep in mind that each person's spiritual journey is unique. I encourage you to share your journey and refraining from offering unsolicited advice to others. We do not “should” on others within the group because this is disempowering. For example, “You should do this, say this, try this” is not allowed.

What participants should bring: An open heart, mind, and the courage to express what may be dimming your inner light. 

Event Fee: $20 suggested donation.

PLEASE RSVP:  https://soundslikerad.setmore.com/book

For Questions: radliving13@gmail.com

Bio: Ryan has struggled with depression and undiagnosed chronic pain for years which led him to do much inner work. During this journey, he learned to identify ego vs soul and to trust his heart’s intuition over thoughts created by the mind. Ryan is a Reiki Master, Sound Healer, RYT-200, and eternal student.

Spiritual Support Group

Get grounded, feed your soul, and express yourself in a safe & supportive environment

With Ryan Drodz, Reiki Master & Sound Healer

Second and Fourth Tuesdays of each month starting May 27th from 7pm-8:30pm 

If you are seeking support on your spiritual path, craving authentic connection, and need a space to speak your truth, look no further! Ryan will open each group with a brief sound meditation to help participants get grounded, then share his own spiritual experiences, struggles, and self-expression practices. This group is held in an open forum style. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences, challenges, and joys with no pressure to do so. Sharing within the group is optional.

Ryan wishes to serve others walking a spiritual path after hearing similar struggles from others on their journey. Please read through the group rules before attending. These rules must be honored to provide safety, common ground, and respect for other participants.  

Is this group right for you? Read the below and if you agree to the below then this may be the right group for you:

1. Spiritual Support Groups are confidential–what is shared in the group stays within the group. Do not share names, stories, and details about attendees outside of a group that could be used to identify them. This is a safe space that encourages vulnerability, authentic expression, and spiritual growth.

2. The group is held in an open forum style. If you would like to speak, limit responses to 3-5 minutes to allow everyone a chance to speak. Refrain from crosstalk and talking over others. Discrimination and rudeness will not be tolerated in this group.

3. Offering genuine support and encouragement is highly recommended! Keep in mind that each person's spiritual journey is unique. I encourage you to share your journey and refraining from offering unsolicited advice to others. We do not “should” on others within the group because this is disempowering. For example, “You should do this, say this, try this” is not allowed.

What participants should bring: An open heart, mind, and the courage to express what may be dimming your inner light. 

Event Fee: $20 suggested donation.

PLEASE RSVP:  https://soundslikerad.setmore.com/book

For Questions: radliving13@gmail.com

Bio: Ryan has struggled with depression and undiagnosed chronic pain for years which led him to do much inner work. During this journey, he learned to identify ego vs soul and to trust his heart’s intuition over thoughts created by the mind. Ryan is a Reiki Master, Sound Healer, RYT-200, and eternal student.

This exhibition explores the range of spectacular shows that were offered to the fee-paying public in Georgian London, from exhibitions of paintings, to scientific demonstrations, to the display of wondrous animals. The exhibition primarily focuses on images drawn from the extensive collections at the Lewis Walpole Library that announce, depict and satirize what people paid to gaze at. It will consider how derogatory ideas about spectacle were expressed in caricatures and political discourse.

Miss Porter's School is excited to launch Daisy Days, our new day camp for girls entering grades 3-5, from June 23 - August 1, 2025. Designed to be full of joy and discovery, this day camp helps girls find their confidence to be their unique, authentic selves while having a ton of summer fun. Join us as we explore music and dance during Swiftie Summer, expand our imaginations during Enchanted Explorers, or be our authentic selves during Bee Brilliant! Campers will spend their days participating in engaging activities, meeting special guests, building their confidence, learning new skills and on Wednesdays, campers will venture off campus for exciting and enriching field trips. We offer extended care in the morning and afternoons for families requiring additional flexibility and extended fun! Learn more here and sign up to receive the opportunity to register early. Registration opens for the general public at 6am on January 15, 2025.

Early bird registration is officially open for Summer in Farmington 2025, our residential camp for middle school girls entering grades 6 through 9 in the fall of 2025. We are so excited to bring back some of our campers’ favorite sessions and activities in addition to the new program offerings that we know our campers are sure to love! Campers can choose to work intensively on their leadership skills through the Sarah Porter Leadership Institute, work towards making positive change in their communities through the ChangeMaker’s Institute, or gain specialized content knowledge and skills through one of our three Institutes run in partnership with Miss Porter’s School academic departments. In addition to their core experience, campers will participate in other exciting and fun activities during afternoons and evenings. Dates, prices, and details can be found here. Spaces fill up quickly so don't wait!

With two different camps and a variety of exciting program options, summer at Porter’s will offer an enriching, defining experience for any girl entering grades 3 through 9 in the fall of 2025!
