Conversations are typically held in my living room, sitting on sofas, chairs and the floor so we can all see each other.

​

Casual conversations starts as people filter in and we gather around the kitchen island with food, wine, water, kombucha, tea.  This gives you a chance to say hello and catch up.  Soon, we sit down and put our food aside so we can really gather.

​

Gathering is intentional.  We do a brief meditation to bring us together.  

​

I re-introduce the topic and some thoughts about the safety of our space.

​

Next are the 'Conversation Starters' - think of it like kindling.  We may listen to, watch or even read together. I encourage bringing a notebook to allow you to jot things down - for me writing gives me focus while listening and helps keep my attention.  I have small, colorful journals for you if needed.

​

We talk for about an hour to an hour and a half.  We focus on a couple of topics prompted by the conversation starters. 

​

There is no prep required although I send some conversation starters ahead (and you can find them on the events page).

​"I have never participated in a group-led discussion of that nature before (or at least not for a very long time.).  I walked away with a sense that a door has been wedged open."
