Friendship Gathering:

a time to connect and reflect on your life and each other.

Nourish your soul and the collective soul of your friend group, family, Bible study, or book club at the same time. This unique and specially curated time for groups of friends or family will leave you and your group not just filled up, but overflowing.  This is a one-of-a-kind experience that will enrich your relationships with each other while providing untroubled space and time for private personal reflection.  You’ll leave with a clearer and refreshed sense of self as well as an enriched and reinvigorated group connection.

In this 60–90-minute gathering, punctuated by beautiful readings, poetry, and music, groups of up to 8 participants are gently guided through journaling prompts for connection to self and to each other.  The first set of prompts are designed for private individual exploration, reflection, and intention-setting, for example “What habits, emotions, patterns would you like to take with you in the next season? What would you like to leave behind?”  As the goal is for honesty and true self-reflection, any responses are confidential unless a participant chooses to share.   

The second set of prompts is for the collective group, as each participant has time to reflect on an appreciation, memory, characteristic, or encouragement for every other participant.  Time is given for true contemplation of one another.  The responses are meant to be shared, as life-giving appreciation is multiplied exponentially when witnessed by others. 

Participants can meet virtually, either individually or all together from one person’s home if geographically convenient.    

This gathering time is meant to foster and increase connection that already exists; therefore, each participant should know each other well.  Friends, families, book clubs, Bible studies, small groups, siblings, families, or other groups are welcome.  

This experience makes a unique and life-changing gift. It can be used at the beginning or end of a season or anytime in lieu of a “girls’ night out” or trip. Bonus: it is a budget-friendly way to connect with your friends instead of an expensive night out (dinner, drinks, movies, transportation, etc.)!

The only requirement is the commitment to confidentiality: what happens in the group, stays in the group.  Additionally, while appreciation and gratitude are meant to be vocalized amongst witnesses to create connection and warmth, each individual can choose whether to share personal reflections.    

Each participant - $65
