How On Earth
Sunday, May 17th
The Ground Floor
2808 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd #9
Portland, OR 97212
How On Earth is a group ritual somatic practice for calling in joy, robust resources, and community resilience to get through these times. It is created and led by Mindy Nettifee and Trinity Capili, at The Ground Floor studio in Portland, Oregon. This first one is happening on Sunday, May 17th, just two days after the Taurus new moon, to help us sync up with that fresh current of manifestation in the sign of our creativity and resourcefulness.
There are two options to join: one online, from 10am to noon PST via Zoom, and one in-person from 2pm-5pm PST. Expect gathering and greetings, Trinity facilitating a grounding practice, Mindy sharing a poem, some private intention setting, some group somatic movement to music (could be stillness, could be dancing, whatever is good to you and your bod), then relaxing, radiating, and a practice we call “Fairy Godmothering.” The in-person version will be held at The Ground Floor in Portland, Oregon, and will also include some hand-selected tea, fruit, and chocolate.
The exchange to join is a donation in any amount! With a suggested sliding scale of $36-$360 for the online gathering, and a suggested sliding scale of $90-$360 for the in-person gathering (we do prefer offerings for this be made in multiples of 3, it’s a sacred number for initiating new forms).
We do not want anyone’s current state of joy, resources, or community resilience to get in the way of taking part in this community ritual blessing! And, if you are working with some enoughness or abundance, please consider a gift that’s substantial and meaningful to you. 100% of proceeds will go to support our new baby nonprofit Inner Doors, to support the growth of future courses, events, and community offerings.

ABOUT THE FACILITATORS
Dr. Mindy Nettifee is a poet, artist educator, depth psychology researcher, and depth somatic practitioner with expertise in trauma healing and integration. In private practice, she specializes in supporting those who want to heal, develop, and fully reclaim their creative voice, and in the process, their power to know and express themselves honestly, share their story and connect with others, and ultimately discover and enact their calling. She is trained in the Somatic Experiencing® trauma resolution method, Dream Tending, and a variety of other depth somatic practices. In individual sessions and group workshops, she creates containers for safely accessing and engaging the unconscious through the body and imagination, leading to accelerated healing, greater freedom and joy, and more capacity for the work that is ours to do. She also teaches courses in creative writing and performance through Oregon’s Literary Arts and Free Delivery, and works locally in Portland with Back Fence PDX and the Artist Repertory Theatre.
Trinity Capili is a movement therapist here to inspire a joyful existence and unconditional love for/through/with the human body. Her experience is wrapped in two decades of field work in movement, yoga, and self-awareness practices. Her specialty is opening real conversations between people and their own parts. After a five year hiatus from advising business leaders, teaching and training teachers, Trinity took to re-educating and reframing her body’s context in today’s world. She discovered more ways to bridge the gap between ancient wisdom techniques and day-to-day living. Trinity teaches body-positive meditations, holistic ergonomics, and facilitates embodiment workshops for businesses and educators. She is a teacher and demonstrator of the movement technique, The Thinking Body- The Feeling Mind®. Trinity offers one-on-one coaching for those seeking a connection or deeper conversation with their bodies. Trinity created Creaturepace® as a resource to help bodies be who they are and do what they love for longer.
