Confident Connections: Conversation, Food, & Fun | 30s–50s

This one's for my fellow entrepreneurs and business owners! Not a business owner? No problem. You’re probably a consumer, and we’d love to have you too! 😄

Tired of dry elevator pitches and surface-level networking? Same!

I've been hearing about Minnow and have been meaning to try it. Let's try it together and see what a mid-day Thursday lunch crowd looks like.

I’ll have a few fun, thoughtful questions prepared to take us beyond the mundane “What do you do?” and into the things that actually help us connect.

Come hungry, curious, and ready for good conversation and laughs! You never know who you'll meet! I'll be limiting this to 8 so sign up now if you want to lock it in.

The best way to form deep bonds, especially with new people, is to see each other regularly, build familiarity and trust, and connect around shared interests. What better way to connect than with people who come together each week to learn how to speak love and respond to others as though their words and actions are all simply a call for love?

Are you a fellow deep thinker and feeler looking for your tribe? Join us for a discussion group focused on A Course in Miracles, a text about choosing love over fear and how that applies to relationships of all kinds. No need to be religious to attend. I'm not. It's a thoughtful, open group, usually about 12 to 20 people who meet weekly on Sundays at Unity of Phoenix Spiritual Center. I'll be there by 9:15 to greet folks.

I've personally attended for several years and am grateful for the teachings I've learned from others in the group each time I show up. Whether I'm there to host or not, you will be met by wonderful humans each time!

🗓️ Sunday | 9:30–10:45 AM
📍 Unity of Phoenix Spiritual Center
1500 E. Greenway Parkway, Phoenix, AZ 85022
💰 Free to attend

Whether you’re brand new to A Course in Miracles or have been studying it for years, all are welcome! I feel confident that you'll leave feeling more hopeful about humanity.

Members of our group are welcome to meet downstairs in the courtyard after class to chat about your experience in class and connect 😁

In this session of Reading Between the Lines, let's continue reading through A Course in Miracles together and explore ideas about perception, illusion, forgiveness, relationships, and finding greater peace.

I'll have the ACIM book and we will read excerpts aloud together and discuss our understanding.

For those interested in staying, we will roll right into the next book discussion group, reading and discussing excerpts from the book I authored, Don't Be a Stranger to Difficult Conversations.

I look forward to sharing thoughtful, enlightening conversation and ponder questions that don't have easy answers!

All guests are asked to contribute to food/drink and tip (at guest's expense) to ensure our hosting establishments feel supported.

How might you say something hard without making things worse?
Silence is so often about fear, not unkindness. How might we remain in a place of compassion even when hurt to stay aligned with our values?

Let's read random passages from my book, Don't Be a Stranger to Difficult Conversations, on how to have difficult conversations with dignity. We'll talk about how to bring those pages to life, focusing on healthy boundaries, communication, conflict, listening, repair, and how to have honest yet difficult conversations while still caring about the other person. No need to have the book to join us.

Bring your curiosity and an open mind with the intention of leaving a gentler person than you arrived.
