About us
🌿 Welcome to Community Connect! 🌿
We’re glad you’re here.
Community Connect is a space for discovering wellness-based, community-centered, and creatively inspired events throughout Central Oregon. At the heart of these gatherings is an invitation to come home to our shared authentic selves, health, joy, creativity, and connection with one another.
This community and the range of events is intentionally broad and beautifully diverse. You may find events led by artists, healers, musicians, facilitators, teachers, visionaries, movement practitioners, entertainers, community builders, and more. The common thread is a desire to create experiences that bring community together in meaningful ways.
🌱 Are you an event organizer?
We warmly invite you to join the group and share your events with the community.
Community Connect is primarily intended to serve as a landing place for discovering what’s happening across Central Oregon. There is generally no expectation that organizers use this Meetup to manage RSVPs, registration, or event-specific communication (for example, it’s important that all events listed include details for how to register/pay).
🪴 Help us shape what comes next.
Community Connect is always evolving, and there are many ways to contribute. We welcome fresh ideas, leadership & initiative, and collaboration.
Please feel free to reach out to the lead Organizer anytime. We’d love to hear what you’re excited about, what you’d like to see here, and how you might be able to add your gifts to the bigger picture.
With deep gratitude, we honor the seed gardeners of the former “One Well” Meetup Group and the loving foundation they created: Barb, Hill, Marci, and Shanti. Much of what is possible here grows from what they lovingly planted many years ago. 🌱
