our story
it's still evolving
We are an online community for individuals seeking personal development through self-exploration, creativity, and mindset shifts. We offer events, content, and connection with practitioners in the areas of health/wellness, spirituality, creativity, and lifestyle. We created North Node to provide resources that are fun and accessible, while supporting the evolution of self.
how it started
Evelina and Alyssa met through their 9–5 jobs in 2018. Alyssa relocated to LA and into an apartment one street away from Evelina (they like to think this was not a coincidence).
Queue endless multi-hour conversations about their struggles of living in the "grind" and questions like "where in all this did we lose touch with our dreams??" They embarked on a journey of self discovery and de-conditioning, supporting each other along the way. This led them to attend a women's circle (hosted by Maggie Gold) in January 2020. Here they met Kirsten, who, struggling with her own feelings of dis-ease, attended the event to meet like-minded women in LA.
Even during a pandemic, they grew closer because (again, not a coincidence!) they all live in the same neighborhood on the West Side of LA. The three spent picnics and socially distant walks sharing the endless podcasts, books, people and modalities they were discovering.
As they moved through their journeys individually and as a collective, they realized there was a need for a community like North Node. They didn't want to wait around for someone else to create it. Their shared passions for community and connection wove their stories together, and ultimately, created North Node.
