Step into the holiday season with intention. Join Cristi Kaido of The Mindful Mixer and Chelan Vanno of The Portal for a cozy, sensory evening that blends mindful mixology and sound healing.
Cristi will share the inspiration behind her new book, The 12 Sips of Christmas, created to offer the community celebratory, alcohol-free alternatives for the season. Guests will enjoy a live mocktail demo and mindful sipping experience led by Cristi, followed by a restorative sound journey guided by Chelan.
Each $50 ticket includes a welcome mocktail upon arrival, a tasting and full serving of the featured holiday mocktail demonstrated by Cristi, and a restorative sound experience guided by Chelan—plus a $10 donation to the Center for Family Life and Recovery (CFLR), supporting recovery and resilience in our community.
When registering, guests may also add on a signed copy of The 12 Sips of Christmas to pick up at the event. Additional books will be available for purchase during the event, and Cristi will be signing copies at the closing portion of the evening.
This intimate experience is limited to 40 guests.
Reserve early and join us for an evening of connection, celebration, and mindful giving.
