Sound Bath
January 7th | 6:30 – 7:20 pm
Join us at our studio on the first Tuesday of every month for a deeply calming sound bath with Certified Sound Practitioner and Senior Life Coach, Clara Belden.
Sound Baths are a meditative, multisensory, and unique experience in which participants are bathed in the vibration of various instruments while lying down. Unlike other forms of meditation, Sound Baths focus on ambient sounds, rather than silence or a guided practice to reach a new state of tranquility.
This lie-down meditation encourages deep relaxation, allowing you to unplug and find release. We encourage you to bring a mat, a blanket, pillows, eye coverings, or whatever helps you to settle into rest.
All are welcome to our space to enjoy the benefits. Whether you are curious about sound meditation or meditation in general, seeking to deepen your practice, or are just in need of an evening to reset, Clara will be your guide into a transformative practice of sound healing.
Did you know we also offer Private Sound Healing?
Neurodivergent Support Group
Next session January 8th | 12 – 1 pm
Navigating the complexities of living with, or caring for individuals with neurodivergent conditions such as autism, dyslexia, ADHD, and more can be both deeply rewarding and immensely challenging. For caregivers, the journey is often marked by a unique set of hurdles and triumphs, requiring not just patience and dedication, but also understanding and specialized knowledge.
Our support group offers a nurturing space for people with neurodivergence and their caregivers to share experiences, insights, and coping strategies.
In our meetings, you’ll find solace in knowing you are not alone. We’ll discuss practical tips for improving daily routines, managing behavioral differences, and accessing resources like specialized therapies and educational support. Beyond practical advice, we’ll foster a sense of community where mutual support and empathy thrive.
Neurodivergence affects not just those diagnosed, but their entire support network. Our group aims to empower you with the knowledge and resilience needed to navigate this journey effectively. Together, we celebrate milestones, share setbacks, and reinforce the belief that every individual, regardless of neurodivergent traits, deserves understanding, respect, and the opportunity to flourish.
BYO Lunch.
Group meets: 1/8, 1/22, 2/5, 2/19
Intention Setting Workshop
January 11th | 4 – 6 pm OR 6:30 – 8:30 pm
Align with your hopes and dreams this new year with our Intention Setting workshop… no new year’s resolutions here! Setting an intention is about choosing how you want to show up each moment of each day. Think about it as your personal mantra, a touchstone of your choice that inspires and helps guide your decisions and actions in 2025. When you intentionally choose how you want to move through life you become empowered to take control over fear and stress, and start the year off on the best foot!
You don’t need to suddenly become a “new you” to create a life you love. But, if you’re looking for a little inspiration, serenity, motivation, and guidance to figure out exactly what your personal intention is for this next year, this workshop is for you.
We’ll start the experience by turning down the frenzy of ‘new year self-improvement’ through a series of gentle yoga poses to allow for you to feel settled and tuned into your intention exploration. Following a centering of your physical connection, Clara Belden, Certified Holistic Life Coach will empower you to openly reflect upon your emotions, share challenges, and understand your hopes for 2025.
By finding a place of serenity physically and a compassionate place mentally, you’ll be prepared to hone in on one intention to live by in the new year, helping you to create the life you want. Whether your intention feels like it’s right at the surface or buried amidst clutter, this professionally-led conversation will be one of openness, curiosity, and hope.
We will conclude the experience by sealing in and resting in our intention with a sound bath – a deeply meditative experience that will help to seal your intention into your mind, body and soul. This experience is one that harmonizes the senses, creating the perfect environment for your heart, mind and spirit to connect and clear out negative vibrational energies before setting out into the world with your intention.
Acceptance + Commitment Therapy
Four sessions starting January 13th | 6 – 7:15 pm
ACT therapy is a mindfulness therapy that is designed to help individuals live a fulfilling life despite the day-to-day challenges. This practice will combine mindfulness and behavioral strategies to help strengthen your own relationship to your life and yourself.
There are a variety of challenges that ACT therapy is designed for including: anxiety, depression, chronic pain, substance abuse, grief, and stress. Some of us face panic attacks, grief, intrusive thoughts, lack of self worth & purpose to name a few. These things are an everyday struggle, ACT therapy will help you uncover some of that weight and allow you to live in the present moment.
A few components of ACT therapy are:
Acceptance, Cognitive Defusion, Present Moment Awareness, Self as Context, Value Clarification, and Committed Action.
During this series, we will explore our own individual experiences and find ways to cope and release this distress. Alongside a community of supportive people here at The Happy Hour, we invite you to take time for yourself and see what it will look like to lead a more fulfilling life.

Greater Nashville Therapists Meet Up
January 24th | 12 – 1 pm
Being a therapist, especially in private practice, can be so isolating. Our days are filled with the invaluable work we do with clients, punctuated by administrative tasks, leaving little room for meaningful interaction with professionals in the community.
Recognizing this need for connection and support, The Happy Hour is excited to announce a therapist meetup aimed at fostering genuine support, mutual learning, and the cultivation of lasting connections. Our goal is to carve out a space where therapists in the Greater Nashville area can come together to find fellowship in and inspiration from the company of peers who understand the nuances of our profession.
