What we’re about
I started this Group in 2017 as a dinner meetup because I enjoy meeting and connecting with people. Today I am still friends with attendees from the very first meeting.
Connecting with other humans builds bridges between diverse experiences and perspectives, forging bonds that enlighten and enrich our lives. Whether it’s a deep conversation or a brief exchange, each interaction has the potential to inspire and drive personal and communal growth.
The pandemic paused these in-person meetings, and I am now bringing them back.
I will center future meetings around personal growth and connection. I am passionate about helping others discover their potential in life and make progress towards their goals. Many of the significant changes in my life began with a conversation with another human being.
Authentic connection with others fosters empathy and understanding, and expands our emotional and intellectual horizons. We gain insights into our own identities and the world around us, and we discover common ground in shared joys and challenges.
I encourage you to join an upcoming meetup and also reach out with ideas and suggestions. For each meeting, I ask that you bring your positive, engaging, intelligent and open-minded Self and be ready to contribute by making it great time for yourself and everyone else.
Who knows, you may build a long-lasting friendship as a result of one these meetings.

Coffee & Change – A space to get unstuck
Cafenated Coffee Co, 2085 Vine Street, Berkeley, CA, USIn a word of endless options and constant noise, it’s normal to feel paralyzed.
When things feel foggy, we often get stuck in the space between thinking and doing—carrying ideas, hopes, and half-formed plans, unsure how to move any of them forward.Coffee & Change is a small, heart-centered gathering for anyone feeling a little lost, overwhelmed, or unsure where to go next. All the answers we often search for outside of ourselves already live within—and together, we create space to bring them to the surface.
### This month's theme: What if I don’t know?
Sometimes, we get stuck in “I don’t know.”
Its a place of comfort, but also a place of limbo. Nothing happens while we are there.
In this circle, we’ll explore how “I don’t know” and “maybe” quietly block our wisdom and our movement.
What to expect:- A short, thoughtful reading to ground us
- Guided journaling prompts
- A tool to get out of the confusion of “maybe”
- Reflective conversation in a supportive, no-pressure circle
What to bring:
- Curiosity.
- A willingness to be honest with yourself.
- Openness to reflection and change, even if it’s just one small step.
- A pen, a journal, and your favorite cup of coffee.
