Swap a Book, Spark the Future!

Thursday Night Social

Join us for a relaxed and joyful evening as we come together for our Thursday Night Social, a chance to unwind, laugh, reconnect, and discover something new. This year, we’re adding a special twist: a Book Swap that invites you to share a favorite read and pick up a new one that just might spark your next great idea. Whether you’re passionate about professional development, wellness, massage therapy, personal growth; this is a chance to share something that has inspired you and discover something new from a fellow member.

Bring a book you’ve loved, leave with a story waiting to inspire you, and enjoy a night built around community, curiosity, and the simple joy of passing something meaningful along.

How It Works

Bring a gently used book(s) you’ve enjoyed
Add a note inside the cover if you’d like: why you loved it, how it helped you, or a message for its next reader.
Browse the collection and choose a new book to take home if you’d like.
No pressure, no formalities — just a relaxed, community‑building activity to spark conversation and connection.

We can’t wait to see what treasures show up on the table and what conversations they inspire!

Course Description

The course provides a more specific understanding of how the organs’ physical functions and positions affect the body as a whole as well as a comprehensive approach to understanding, assessing, and releasing visceral restrictions. Integrating a number of mindbody perspectives, it also explores the extensive relationships among the organs, meridians, emotions, structure, function and common pathologies associated with organ restriction. The body’s structure, function, posture, emotions, consciousness, pain patterns and physiological function depend on healthy organs and healthy organ movement. And vice versa: issues in these other areas can impact organ health. This course takes an integrative and holistic approach to visceral work, and provides a comprehensive overview of these interrelationships as well as a means to assess and address the organs through massage. To deepen the students' understanding of the organs, there is an experiential movement component utilizing the Franklin Method approach of dynamic imagery, anatomical embodiment and educational skills to create lasting positive change in body and mind. Each organ has its own movement and rhythm cycles (motility). They also each have movement patterns with the breath cycle as well as movement of the body (mobility). Students experience the organ movement (or lack thereof) and learn how to restore these movements and release the fascia and congestion that restricts the organs. Visceral Dynamics integrates and utilizes concepts from: Structural Integration, Visceral Manipulation, Applied Functional Science, The Franklin Method, and Chinese Medicine
