POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Another year older ✨🖤

The fun part of getting older is getting hotter and having more stories to tell. And giving less f*cks.

It’s never too late to find a community where you can be uncompromisingly loved for exactly the nuerospicy, chroncially ill, nerdy baddie you are.

We have been itching to announce this!! We’re sooo excited to announce that tickets for our next event, the Queer Mystic, are live today on our website!

If you’ve ever wanted a space to step away for healing, this is it. This time, Mana Grove is pairing up with the wonderful @winplacehome and @ahavenforus to bring a truly magical day together.

Our Queer Mystic retreat will be a day-long retreat, to escape from the loudness of the world and lean in to the magic of our own energy✨

We’ll spend time with horses, practice somatic work, enjoy a riveting sound-bath, walk amongst a market of healers & makers, and so much more.

We’ll provide spaces for facilitator-led conversations about what it’s like to be queer in today’s time, while we unravel and release the weight of recent events

While our conversations and support spaces will be queer focused, we welcome any allies to join us for the day to give space for our friends, and our family, to feel safe and seen💜

🎟️Tickets are on sale for $99, and use code EARLYBIRD before Oct. 17th to snag them for only $85.

Tickets are limited to keep this gathering intimate, intentional, and connected. All proceeds raised from ticket sales will go directly back in to the organizations’ efforts.

Stay tuned for our program details and vendors list

Come lean in to the magic of our own energy for the purpose of healing, together🫂🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Fanciful feywild guests from our Midsummer Dream Soirèe… not everyone because I stopped filming when I got distracted 😉

We build immersive events, but it’s our brilliant creative community that brings it alive by showing up + participating with their whole self! 🥹

Grateful to have found our people.

The portal to the fey realms is open! 🧚 
It took a year to make the 2nd part of the video about our immersive party for a million reasons, but now that midsummer rolled back around we wanted to revisit the magic. ✨🌸 
Utterly grateful for everyone who crafted this world with us: @elliotphonehome84 + Raul, @babimiche, @the_craftographer, all our vendors, performers, and volunteers. From building literal bridges to drafting bingo items—the midsummer dream was a HUGE labor of love (and whimsy.) 🥹💕  What’s your favorite part of the fey realms?

‘If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumbered here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream’ 💜

Still processing everything from Saturday.

We’re exhausted, emotional, and incredibly grateful.
Thank you to every single person who showed up, volunteered, donated, supported, shared our posts, sponsored the event, or simply spent time with us. Seeing our community come together for mental health, animal welfare, education, and connection meant more than we can put into words.

We had at least one animal adopted, got to hear amazing rescue organizations share about the work they do, and had so many meaningful conversations throughout the day. One person even told us they came because they saw one of our videos on Instagram - which honestly reminded us why sharing this journey matters.

Our biggest goal was to create a space where people could learn something, feel connected, and leave feeling inspired or supported. Hearing that people genuinely felt that made all the hard work worth it. And we could not have done it without @vicioussss who helped design the space to create the comfortable energy we were going for.

While we didn’t fully reach our fundraising goal of $5,000, we made it about halfway there in just over a month - and for a grassroots community effort, that’s something we’re deeply thankful for.

And this is the important part: Mana Grove was never meant to be just one event.

This is about building something lasting. A future where people can access ongoing support, healing spaces, animal-assisted care, education, and community resources that help people, and animals, lead healthier, more joyful lives.

If you believe in that vision, we hope you’ll continue following along as we grow.

Extra big shout out to all of our sponsors and partners that joined us to make this event happen:

My favorite thing about fantasy is being able to embrace the shapeshifting that matches my inner spirit, which is also an ever changing creature.

This OC I put together was inspired by my desire to connect more with my Native heritage and my deep love for the winter solstice, which also happens to be the day I was born.

I’ve always loved the Kitsune, whose spirit is cunning and intuitive, whose form transforms through cultural narrative and names.

What should I name her?

Hey LA 💫

We’re bringing the community together May 23rd to raise funds for a Residential and Rescue Center, to house humans in need of support and animals rescued from life threatening situations, and we’d love for you to be part of it🫂

Get your tickets early to join our wellness activities, and share this with your circle - because when word spreads, impact grows🌱

When we’ve shared our concept with Mana Grove, we’re usually met with “I love this idea” 🌱

And we love that our vision can be see in the eyes of others, because that means what we’re building is truly worth building🌳

And we need your help.

Our upcoming wellness event is designed to kick off our land acquisition campaign - a campaign dedicated to securing land - and we’ve decided to break that goal down in to bursts, sprints and events🏃🐴🧘‍♀️

On Monday, we launched our first 10-day sprint to raise $2,000 by May 1st as a kickstart our goal of $25k to go towards land for our center. We wanted to do this sprint in preparation for our event to use as both feedback and proof that people believe in this space as much as we do🥰

So, please consider sharing, donating, or grabbing a ticket (all sales go towards our goal) for our upcoming event at the link in our bio🎟️

Because we can’t make big dreams happen alone🫂💖

Funny Bones take the Ren Faire (again!) 😈

Who doesn’t love 30+ jesters jingling through town + wishing all a good marrow? 🖤💀🦴

Had to set our shenanigans to Ferryman, the perfect dark (yet upbeat) song by my friend @shayferjamesmusic.

Also shoutout @mikefinchmma for that *chef’s kiss* opening shot! #livelaughdie
