What we’re about
❤️🩹 New Beginnings Relationship Support is a caring community for anyone going through a breakup or divorce—or simply looking to grow, heal, and build stronger relationships. Whether you're navigating grief, working through a major life transition, or wanting to show up more fully in your relationships, you’re welcome here.
🔷 We host weekly support meetings on Zoom every Wednesday evening from 7–9 pm (Pacific time). The first hour includes a video or short talk focused on personal growth, emotional healing, better communication, or understanding and managing the divorce process. The second hour is a confidential sharing circle, where participants are invited to have their cameras on to help create a safe, supportive environment. Meetings are $5 each or $17 per month to help cover the time and care we put into preparing meaningful content. There's no charge to join the Meetup group itself.
🔷 We also host weekly one-hour walks (rain or shine) for Divorced Dads in San Mateo, CA. These walks offer a relaxed, low-pressure way to connect with others who understand what you're going through, while getting a bit of fresh air, movement, and enjoying a beautiful view of Crystal Springs Reservoir. There is no charge for our weekly walks.
❤️ We’d love for you to join us! Please make sure to turn ON Meetup notifications so you can stay updated on all our gatherings and events.
