That idea you keep meaning to get to?
Bring it with you.

The proposal. The creative project. The next chapter of your business. Or simply the work you’d love to finish without stopping to switch the laundry.

I created Open Workday because I wanted more opportunities to share this space with people doing interesting things.

Somewhere to focus, enjoy beautiful surroundings, and have a little company while we each do our own work.

Bring your laptop, notebook, or whatever you’re working on. There’s room for you here. ✨

📅 Wednesday, Nov. 4 + Thursday, Nov. 12
🕘 9 AM–4 PM
📍 The Portal | 412 Main Street, Utica
💻 $35 per day · Registration required

When did everything become something we had to work at?

Our careers. Our relationships. Our bodies. Our healing. Even our ability to relax.

There’s always something to improve, something to figure out, something we could be doing better.

It’s exhausting, isn’t it?

But here’s the thing. You don’t have to try so hard. Especially when it comes to taking care of yourself.

You don’t have to quiet your mind. You don’t have to meditate perfectly. You don’t have to force yourself to relax or have some profound spiritual experience.

You can simply show up, get comfortable, and allow yourself to receive.

No expectations. No performance. Nothing to prove.

That’s your invitation.

✨ Gong & Gather: Weeknight Reset

🎟️ $44 | Limited to 12 spaces

75 minutes of immersive sound, stillness, and an opportunity to reconnect with yourself.

Gong & Gather: Weeknight Reset

10/28/2026

Sometimes I work from home. Today, my coworkers were leaf blowers, garbage men, and a very opinionated dog. 😂🐾

And I cannot WAIT to get to The Portal tomorrow.

Don’t get me wrong. I love the flexibility of working from home. But some days, you just need to GET OUT.

A change of scenery. A beautiful space. Some actual human interaction. And an environment that makes you feel inspired to get things done.

That’s exactly why I created Open Workday at The Portal.

Not quite coworking. Not another coffee shop. Just a really great place to bring your laptop, settle in, meet some interesting people, and get some work done.

So if your home office is starting to feel a little too much like home, consider this your invitation.

Tomorrow is Open Workday, and I’d love some company!

☕ Bring your laptop. We’ll provide the atmosphere.

Put the day down. 🧡

After several sold-out (and even overflowing!) Gong & Gather sessions, requests for weekday offerings, and a growing recognition of just how much we all need opportunities to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with ourselves, I’ve decided to create another invitation to gather at The Portal.

✨ Introducing Gong & Gather: Weeknight Reset.

A new monthly Monday evening sound immersion designed to help you step away from the demands of everyday life and make space for yourself.

Because somewhere between the responsibilities, expectations, endless notifications, and constant stimulation, it’s easy to lose touch with how we’re actually feeling.

And sometimes, what we need most isn’t another thing to do.

It’s permission to do nothing at all.

For 75 minutes, you can leave the outside world behind, settle into a comfortable space, and allow the resonant sounds and vibrations of gongs, singing bowls, and other instruments to invite you into deep rest and stillness.

No expectations.
No experience necessary.
Nothing to accomplish.

Just an opportunity to pause, receive, and reconnect.

🌙 Our first Weeknight Reset

📅 Monday, November 9 | 6 PM
📍 The Portal | Downtown Utica
🎟️ $44 per person | 11 spaces available

Everything you need to get comfortable is provided.

Your only responsibility is to arrive.

A full room. A whole lot of good energy.
And another opportunity to gather. 🧡

This Sunday’s Gong & Gather is officially FULL!

I’m so grateful for everyone who’s choosing to spend part of their weekend with me.

And if you missed this one, you don’t have to wait long.

We’re bringing Gong & Gather into the week!

✨ MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9 | 6 PM

Same immersive sound experience. A different opportunity to disconnect from the noise, lie down, and tune in.

Because sometimes the best way to begin a new week is to make a little space for yourself.

Registration is open through ATTEND in bio.

People came out tonight. They showed up for themselves, and for one another.

Several people acknowledged that they needed a reason to get out of the house, reconnect with themselves and spend time in the presence of other people.

Sometimes that decision alone shifts something.

Thank you, Josh, for bringing Restorative Qigong to The Portal and guiding everyone through an evening of movement, breath and focused awareness.

We’re already talking about doing it again in early December. ✨

And if you’re feeling that same pull to step away from the routine and reconnect, there is currently one spot remaining for Sunday’s Gong & Gather.

Soon, there will be more recurring ways to pause, practice and gather here at The Portal.

When was the last time you were completely unavailable?

Not checking your phone. Not thinking about what needs to happen next. Not consuming information, responding to someone, or trying to accomplish something.

Just here.

We live in a world that demands our attention almost constantly. And somewhere along the way, we’ve become so accustomed to being connected to everything around us that we rarely notice how disconnected we’ve become from ourselves.

That’s what I mean when I say tune in.

Notice your breath.
Feel your body.
Observe your thoughts without needing to follow every one.
Become aware of what you actually need.

And perhaps most importantly, remember what it feels like to simply experience a moment without trying to change it, capture it, or make something of it.

That’s the invitation behind Gong & Gather.

For a little while, let the outside world carry on without you.

Disconnect. Lie down. Tune in.

We spend so much time thinking, planning, scrolling, and moving from one obligation to the next.

How often do we give ourselves the opportunity to experience something different?

Tomorrow evening, Josh Kelly is bringing Restorative Qigong to The Portal.

Through gentle movement, intentional breathing, and focused awareness, you’ll explore a different way of working with your energy.

Six people have already said YES to trying something new. We’d love for you to join them.

No experience needed. Just curiosity.
