Spiritual Support Group

Get grounded, feed your soul, and express yourself in a safe & supportive environment


With Ryan Drodz, Reiki Master & Sound Healer


Second and Fourth Tuesdays of each month starting May 27th from 7pm-8:30pm 


If you are seeking support on your spiritual path, craving authentic connection, and need a space to speak your truth, look no further! Ryan will open each group with a brief sound meditation to help participants get grounded, then share his own spiritual experiences, struggles, and self-expression practices. This group is held in an open forum style. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences, challenges, and joys with no pressure to do so. Sharing within the group is optional.



Ryan wishes to serve others walking a spiritual path after hearing similar struggles from others on their journey. Please read through the group rules before attending. These rules must be honored to provide safety, common ground, and respect for other participants.  


Is this group right for you? Read the below and if you agree to the below then this may be the right group for you:

1. Spiritual Support Groups are confidential–what is shared in the group stays within the group. Do not share names, stories, and details about attendees outside of a group that could be used to identify them. This is a safe space that encourages vulnerability, authentic expression, and spiritual growth.

2. The group is held in an open forum style. If you would like to speak, limit responses to 3-5 minutes to allow everyone a chance to speak. Refrain from crosstalk and talking over others. Discrimination and rudeness will not be tolerated in this group.

3. Offering genuine support and encouragement is highly recommended! Keep in mind that each person's spiritual journey is unique. I encourage you to share your journey and refraining from offering unsolicited advice to others. We do not “should” on others within the group because this is disempowering. For example, “You should do this, say this, try this” is not allowed.


What participants should bring: An open heart, mind, and the courage to express what may be dimming your inner light. 

Event Fee: $20 suggested donation.

PLEASE RSVP:  https://soundslikerad.setmore.com/book

For Questions: radliving13@gmail.com

Bio: Ryan has struggled with depression and undiagnosed chronic pain for years which led him to do much inner work. During this journey, he learned to identify ego vs soul and to trust his heart’s intuition over thoughts created by the mind. Ryan is a Reiki Master, Sound Healer, RYT-200, and eternal student.

In 1841, Farmington was home to the African Mende captives who had rebelled and overtaken the slave ship La Amistad. On several dates this summer, the Farmington Historical Society will host a presentation and guided walking tour of these Freedon Trail sites that played a role during their stay in Farmington. The lecture and tour will be led by Connecticut storyteller Andre LePelle Keitt. Mr. Keitt serves as Consultant for Education and Programming for the Farmington Historical Society. The walking tour will also feature other sites in Farmington village which are part of Connecticut’s Freedom Trail and the Underground Railroad. 

The 53 captives of La Amistad, mostly Mende from what is now Sierra Leone, were being shipped to Cuba to work on plantations. While at sea, they rebelled and the 44 survivors sailed the ship ending up in Long Island, New York. They were then taken into custody aboard the USS Washington, sent to New Haven and jailed to start trials in Hartford and later in Washington, D.C. The trials lasted 18 months. In February 1841, their case was argued by former President John Quincy Adams before the U.S. Supreme Court. On March 9, 1841, the decision was made declaring the Africans to be free people with permission to return to their homeland. Nine days later, they arrived in Farmington where abolitionists provided housing, schooling, and the fundraising necessary for the Mende passage back to their homeland. 

The event will be presented on most Saturdays at 10 a.m., meeting at First Church of Christ, Congregational,1652 at 75 Main Street, Farmington, CT. Dates are: June 7, 14, 21; July 12, 19, 26; and August 2, 9, 16, 23; September 6, 13, 27. Cost for the lecture and tour is $20 per person (19 and up), $15 for seniors, and $10 for those under 18. Free for children 5 years old and under. The event will take place rain or shine. If the walking portion of the tour is not possible due to extreme weather, the event will continue in the church with a special presentation. Tickets must be purchased prior to the tour at https://bit.ly/4iD4qrK.

Spirit Within: A Weekly Women's Circle

Where women reclaim their magic, connect with Spirit and rise together.


With Kristen Naes (She/Her)


Wednesdays, 6:30 pm-7:45 pm (starting June 18)

Step into a sacred space where your intuition is honored, your gifts are welcomed, and your voice is heard. Spirit Within is a weekly women’s circle devoted to the development of psychic and mediumship abilities in a nurturing, heart-centered environment. 

Each week, we gather to explore practices such as:

-Evidential mediumship and spirit communication

-Channeling messages from guides and loved ones

-Inspired and automatic writing

-Strengthening the clairs (clairvoyance, clairaudience, etc.)

-Grounding, protection, and energetic hygiene

-Rituals for deepening your connection to the unseen

Whether you're just beginning to awaken your intuitive senses or seeking to expand your existing connection with Spirit, this circle offers guidance, sisterhood, and sacred space to grow. Together, we listen, receive, practice, and rise. Open to women and non-binary folks who enjoy women-centered spaces. 

What Participants Should Bring: Notebook and pen, or preferred writing materials

Event Fee: Donation-based (suggested $15-$25 per circle)

Payment Link: Registration/Donation Link

RSVP Deadline: 12 pm on the day of the weekly circle you plan to attend
