Let’s be real—this is not something students magically know how to do, nor is it something parents instinctively know how to guide. Most students don’t feel overwhelmed because they aren’t smart or capable; they feel overwhelmed because too many decisions get pushed into senior year all at once. Starting earlier reduces stress and improves outcomes.
Founded by Valerie Conte, a literary scholar and writer with 20+ years of marketing and branding experience, Ace the Essay offers a distinctive approach to college planning and essay writing. By using real-world marketing strategies, you’ll learn how to identify your strengths, understand your value, and make a genuine connection with admissions officers through your essay and application.

• a brief, accessible reflection on topics like
– how mindfulness works
– common misunderstandings
– why it can be hard to stay present
• space for quiet connection

Evening Yoga with Alexis Rice
You’re invited to join a gentle and supportive yoga practice focused on listening to your body. There’s no expectation to be flexible or experienced, this practice is about moving in a way that feels right for you.
We connect movement with breath and take time to notice how the body feels, rather than forcing any pose. You’re always encouraged to rest, modify, and move at your own pace.
This is a space to slow down, release tension, and build awareness in a kind, non-judgmental environment. The goal isn’t to do yoga perfectly - it’s simply to show up, breathe, and be present with yourself.
Please bring your yoga mat!
Option to bring blocks, yoga strap, cushion.

Jam Session Details
The house band will kick it off, and we will open up the stage for sit-ins as the night goes on. If you are a musician looking to sit in, speak to Jackson Whalan during the event. Gather near the stage if you are looking to play once the music gets going. There will be some gear backlined (drums, bass, keys, vocal mics, guitar amp, instrument mics, D.I.s). If you are sitting in, the only rule is: listen. Be aware of the other people on the stage. This is not an open mic. The aim is to create amazing music in the moment, together. Whether or not you get a chance to perform, this will be an incredible night filled with connection and opportunity.
About Your Host
Jackson Whalan is a recording artist and music producer, known for his fierce flow, his uplifting and genre-bursting hip-hop, his versatile beat-making skills and production, and his dazzling freestyle rap chops. His 100-plus song catalog bursts through perceived confines of hip-hop, veering into pop, electronic, and jam band territory. Whalan’s oeuvre includes LPs, EPs, singles, and features. His career highlights include performing at The United Nations, rapping with Quest Love on drums and Ray Angry on keys at Producer Mondays in New York City, national tours with Moon Hooch, collaborations with KRS-One, Myka 9, Wax, and other Hip Hop legends, and recent sync placements with the NFL, Netflix, Xfinity, BET, Vice, Reebok, and Meta.

Somatic Breathwork for Resilience
This breathwork group is an invitation to come as you are, shed what no longer supports you, and remember your resilience. Whether you're new to breathwork or have a personal practice, this space is to support you in reconnecting to your body's innate wisdom.
Please bring:
Yoga mat
Water bottle
Journal
Wear comfortable clothing, layers are ideal as it’s normal to feel a fluctuation in body temperature during this practice.
OPTIONAL: eye mask, item for the community alter
Somatic Breathwork* is an active meditation that uses a three-part breath technique to support the deep healing of the mind, body and Spirit. The three-part breath technique occupies the thinking-mind so the rest of the body can self-heal without the cognitive intervention of narrative and thought.
Breathwork is a powerful practice that can help the breather: rewrite outdated stories and subconscious beliefs, break through feelings stuckness, provide a path to feeling more “in” your body, reconnection to inner/ancestral wisdom, deeper connection to aliveness, strengthen resilience and help one access an expanded state of consciousness.
* Contraindications: A breathwork practice is not currently recommended for: people in pregnancy (unless you have discussed it with a medical doctor or already have a regular practice), epilepsy, retinal detachment, glaucoma, high blood pressure not controlled by medication, cardiovascular disease, family history of aneurysm, strokes and neurological conditions, and severe osteoporosis. If you have any questions about Breathwork, or if it is right for you please do not hesitate to reach out to Ciana Marie.

The Sacred Pause
Tuesdays beginning April 7 | 11:30–12:45
In times of chaos and upheaval — and really, anytime — it is a radical act of sanity to take up residence in the present moment.
Taking a pause… slowing down… allowing the nervous system a break from constant input… is a powerful form of self-care.
The Sacred Pause is a weekly community space to gently practice presence together.
Each gathering will include:
• simple mindfulness practices
• a brief, accessible reflection on topics like
– how mindfulness works
– common misunderstandings
– why it can be hard to stay present
• space for quiet connection

Join us for our monthly Narrative Processing + Liberatory Visioning Workshop
This is a casual, communal gathering hosted by seeing rainbows, where we hold space with writing, reflection, and collective dreaming.

In this continuing workshop (2nd Sunday of the month), we’ll explore the power of narrative for visioning and healing; though rooted in writing, all mediums and forms of expression are welcome.
This is an open workshop, with cis allies welcomed. Come early to grab a beverage and snack.
