UPCOMING GATHERINGS
We gather for many reasons – celebration, support, learning, collaboration – but at the heart of it, gathering fills a deeper need for belonging, connection, and shared meaning. Practicing in community is a powerful catalyst to awakening. Far from a solitary path, awakening unfolds in relationship – with the world, with each other, and with our direct experience.
When we come together with intention, something greater than the sum of our individual experiences emerges. We reflect and reveal truths to one another, deepening our understanding. We create a field of support, where wisdom and compassion are embodied, lived, and shared. We awaken together in ways that we cannot realize on our own.
The gatherings I offer arise from a deep intention to support awakening in relationship with daily life. They foster a sense of belonging, reminding us that we are not separate but part of a larger whole. They create space for mutual support, where we can give and receive insight and encouragement on our journeys. And they serve as a platform for awakening, where shared practice, inquiry, and reflection inspire and challenge us to grow.
I look forward to sharing space and co-creating experiences that nurture this unfolding. And I hope to see you there!
