My first career was in hospitality, and I worked at a local wine bar for twelve years when the pandemic began. As the reality of the situation began to hit, I knew I wanted to help my friends and regulars from the bar by sharing the tools and practices of mindfulness and self-awareness to navigate the stress, anxiety, and overwhelm that was present.

One of my favorite nights to work at the bar was called “Locals Night,” which I loved because I connected with the people in my community every week. So, I created the Peace of Kate Happy Hour, which met every Tuesday over Zoom. A group of eight women came together, and we met for a year and a half before closing it down since life was returning to “normal.” We all credit this group as a lifeline during such a difficult time.

In August of 2023, I continued to feel the anxieties and worries of the collective increasing. Because of this, I again felt the call to unite and lift people with positivity and inspiration. So, I started the happy hour back up, but this time in person. Local tasting rooms were excited to collaborate and have been extremely generous with allowing our group to meet there. Being out in the community and supporting local businesses is so fun, and it provides joy to the members of our group and the teams at the tasting rooms.

My work is centered around taking ownership and responsibility for your wellness and overall well-being. Now more than ever, we are being called to look within and heal our past traumas, shift our inner narrative from negative to positive, and shower ourselves with love and compassion. When we do this, we begin to heal, show up at a higher vibration, and share our light with the world.

The seed of Inspiration

What you can expect from a
Peace of Kate Happy Hour

You will be warmly greeted and welcomed when entering a Peace of Kate Happy Hour. Whether you come by yourself or with a friend, you can count on the members who are present to be kind and gracious.

After taking the first fifteen minutes to get a glass of wine or a non-alcoholic beverage of your choice, I gather the group to begin. I will then speak to the group for fifteen to twenty minutes about a mindfulness, wellness, or personal development topic, and then we close with a “Spiritual Seed” word card. This is a positive word to take into the rest of your day, week, or month. The remaining time is spent connecting with like-minded people in the Napa Valley community.

Whether you are a wine brand that wants to partner with us, a business that wants to bring wellness programming to your employees, a visitor or a local who wants to enjoy this at one of my tasting room partners, or you want to host an in-home event, please contact us to create an unforgettable experience!
