Welcome to the backyard.

a sacred space to expand & share

We are a community-focused event that aims to elevate mindfulness and wellness in an approachable and digestible way. We believe that communal conversations and open sharing can be powerful tools for personal growth and building a supportive community.

The Backyard Banquet is a Permission Portal event that provides a safe and welcoming space for open-minded, open-hearted conversations about what it means to be human. Our Sharemonies encourage personal reflection and bonding from a place of reception and curiosity.

Each month we offer workshops and services led by Julia and members of our community, designed to provide you with tools to integrate mindfulness into your daily practice and inspire you to live more authentically and expansively. A nourishing night of mind, body, and spirit.

So why spend your Saturday racking up saved for later content? We believe that collective healing is best served in the moment IRL. Join us for an evening of exploration and conversation. Whether you're looking to dip a toe or deep dive, we encourage you to come and hang out in a safe and supportive space.

Hosted by Julia Henning and Claire Chapelli

“THIS EVENT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. THERE WAS THOUGHT PUT INTO EVERY DETAIL AND THE FLOW OF THE EVENING FELT SO GOOD AND FLUID. THE SPACE HELD FOR EACH PORTION FROM JULIA’S JOURNALING PROMPTS, TO THE PRACTITIONERS DOING THEIR MAGIC, TO CONNECTING WITH A PARTNER AND SHARING IN A GROUP ALLOWED FOR OPTIMAL MOMENTS TO INTEGRATE EVERYTHING WITH INTENTION. IT FELT SAFE TO GO DEEPER AND TO SHARE, WITHOUT FEELING ANY SORT OF PRESSURE TO DO MORE THAN WHAT FELT COMFORTABLE. THIS IS A COMMUNITY I’M SO HAPPY AND GRATEFUL TO BE A PART OF, AND I CAN’T WAIT TO EXPERIENCE MORE BACKYARD BANQUETS AND SHARE WITH MY FRIENDS!”
