Evolving Conversations

Over the years, many members of our community have expressed a longing for more space to simply connect with one another—not only through contemplative practice, but also through meaningful conversation around the things that matter most.

In our Contemplative Practices & the Enneagram groups, we hold important agreements around confidentiality, no cross-talk, and honoring each person’s inner process. These guidelines help create a deeply sacred contemplative container.

And yet, when we first began meeting in person in 2017, something else also happened organically in the hallways before and after gatherings: conversations about spiritual awakening and deconstruction, the Enneagram, contemplative books and teachers, activism, relationships, embodiment, prayer, and the evolving questions of our lives.

Over time, many of you—both longtime and brand new community participants—have asked for more opportunities for this kind of connection.

So we’re experimenting.

We live in a time of endless information and constant connection, yet many people still feel profoundly alone.

There are countless places to consume content, argue perspectives, or curate identities—but far fewer spaces devoted to genuine presence, thoughtful conversation, spiritual openness, and authentic human connection.

Perhaps this gathering can be one small response to that.
