As part of our mission to help build a connected and resilient community, I am thrilled to share that one way we are doing this is by launching our next project and bringing Wind Phones to our communities! It is here! We currently have a traveling Wind Phone to use at your next event.
The Wind Phone is a simple but powerful tool for emotional healing. It is an unconnected phone placed in a serene location that offers a private space for individuals to speak to those they have lost. It is a symbol of remembrance, connection, and the ongoing journey through grief.

November 6, 2025
5:00pm-7:00pm
Browne Family Distillery
This event is free to Helix Members! If you are not yet a member, now is the time to join!
This kick off event is just the start of a transformational year and we want you to be part of it. 🌀
p.s. Chef Johnny and I will be cooking for you... if you know...you know.
Post Event Update: I just wanted to say thank you again to everyone who was able to attend the Helix event on November 6, 2025. For those who couldn’t make it, we truly missed you!
The Helix Membership is not just a networking space to pitch your services. It's all about connection, creativity, and making a real impact. Helix offers an opportunity to be part of a supportive community cohort and a chance to be part of something bigger: to connect with like-minded people, spark new ideas, and elevate the work we do in our community.
Connection and a positive mindset were the anchors of the event. Guests learned effective techniques for remembering names (Jim Kwik) and participated in a Reverse Gap exercise (Vishin); a reflective activity to celebrate accomplishments, recognize growth, and acknowledge personal and community impact.
We’ve already heard wonderful feedback that the event was fun, thought-provoking, and inspiring... and yes, the clam chowder, fancy crostinis, and those chocolate chip, pistachio cream, toasted coconut cookies were definite highlights!
Helix is your opportunity to make a difference alongside people who are just as passionate and driven as you are. We’re capping the group at 30 members, so if you haven’t signed up yet, now’s the time to join with only 10 spots left. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to here more

Dare Designs: 2224 E Riverside Ave, Spokane, WA
The pop-up will be open to the public from 4:00–8:00 PM, with our Helix group gathering at 6:00 PM. At our last Helix gathering, we dove into simple and effective ways to connect with others, shared practical tips for remembering names, and explored how a reverse gap analysis can help quiet imposter syndrome and ease the stress between where we are and where we want to be. This time, we’re turning up the energy. Connections, collaboration, and a little bit of charisma.
If you are not yet a member, now is the time to join!
Whether you are part of Helix or not, we’re excited to bring everyone together and would love for you to be part of this pop-up!
