Santa Cruz CAMFT

Join us for A Collective Pause 🎶✨

As mental health professionals, we hold space for others every day—but when do we create space to be held ourselves?

This upcoming Tuesday, April 14th, join us for an evening of connection, nourishment, and deep restoration. We'll begin with intentional networking over food and drinks, then transition into a 45-minute guided community sound bath led by Jessica "Ruby" Hernandez, M.A., LMFT.

Jessica brings a grounded, trauma-informed approach to sound healing, weaving together gongs, crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, drums, chimes, and more to support nervous system regulation, deep relaxation, and collective presence.
This is your invitation to slow down, restore, and be held by our professional community. 💫

📅 Tuesday, April 14th
⏰ 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM
📍 Camp Recovery Center, 3600 Glen Canyon Rd, Scotts Valley
💰 FREE for SC-CAMFT Members | $20-25 Non-Members
⚠️ Registration closes Monday, April 13th—don't wait! Link in bio.

We can't wait to pause, breathe, and heal together. See you there! 🌿
