The Possibility Session #1: An Intentional Reset
Ready for your next chapter — but want to approach it differently this time?
There’s a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from carrying a life that no longer quite fits and a particular kind of longing for something you can’t yet name.
Each Possibility Session can be attended on its own or experienced as part of the full three-part series.
Possibility Session #1: An Intentional Reset is for people who are in-between, on the edge of something new, or quietly craving more. Through guided reflection and hands-on art and craft experiences, we’ll explore what’s next in a way that feels playful, intentional, and deeply personal.
No pressure. No perfection. Just space to imagine, create, and design your next season with clarity and joy.
Come curious. Leave with vision — and something tangible to remind you of it.
What to expect
A structured grief circle with conversation, writing, and movement
A creative visioning session using collage and art-making
A shared lunch, warm drinks, and snacks to keep you energized
A handcrafted take-home kit to carry the work forward
By the end of the session you’ll have reflected on what you’re ready to leave behind, explored what feels possible next, and created something tangible that captures the direction you want to move toward.
Facilitated by Nicole Nelson of Unruly Grief and Michelle Magat and Lisa Murray of Making Room.
MEET YOUR FACILITATORS
Nicole Nelson (she/they) is a death doula, grief worker, and tender of stories whose work lives at the intersection of grief and hope. Over the last two decades, she's worked in retail, communications, marketing, special education, and massage therapy. Her eclectic career path didn't always make sense in the moment, but the through line was always human connection, finding ways to show up for people when they needed it most.
After years of walking alongside others through pain, loss, and grief, becoming a death doula felt less like a career choice and more like finally putting a name to something she'd already been doing. Her personal philosophy is deeply influenced by the Muppets, who have always understood that belonging, authenticity, and not taking yourself too seriously aren't distractions from serious work. They’re the bit of magic that makes everything else make sense. She brings that spirit into everything she does, because real learning tends to happen when people feel safe enough to be a little curious, a little vulnerable, and occasionally a little silly. She also believes that even in the darkest moments there's a little magic to be found, and that sometimes, if we want to imagine what's next, we have to grieve what came before.
At The Possibility Session, Nicole leads the grief circle, a structured, embodied ritual that opens space for the kind of grief we rarely make room for.
Michelle Magat (she/her) is a storyteller, strategist, and dedicated maker who believes creativity is the antidote to anxiety and the doorway to imagining and acting on what's always been possible for you. For nearly 30 years, she has built her career in newsrooms and at global communications agencies, co-founded a national PR firm and school communications startup, and now supports entrepreneurs at La Cocina, San Francisco's celebrated food business incubator. She has built brands, raised millions, and created new things from nothing more than once. But it's her own creative practice, which includes drawing, painting, art journaling, snail mail, and years of making art with kids and adults, that taught her the most important lesson: when your hands are creating, your anxious mind gets quiet, and what's truly possible finally comes into focus. That insight became Making Room, her creative facilitation practice that uses intentional making and reflective experimentation to guide people back to what energizes them and forward into what they genuinely want to do next.
At The Possibility Session, Michelle facilitates the afternoon creative visioning session with guided art-making, reflection activities, and a low-stakes experiment rooted in your own genuine curiosity.
Lisa Murray (she/her) is a builder of businesses and belonging who has spent decades turning spaces into places where people feel genuinely seen, fed, and cared for. Her career spans the high-volume intensity of restaurant management, the art of retail and catering, and the mission-driven world of social enterprise. At every turn, her secret ingredient has been operational precision wrapped in deep human warmth, which she now channels as co-founder of Making Room, a creative facilitation practice. The moment someone walks into a space that Lisa's created, they immediately feel at home. How people are welcomed, nourished, and sent off with something beautiful in their hands is never just a detail to her.
At The Possibility Session, Lisa is our Keeper of the Hearth, tending the nourishment and curating the small handmade gifts you'll carry home. She is, in every sense, the warmth you'll feel the moment you walk in the door.
