Conversations About Consciousness

"When in communion with others of like mind, the experience of one becomes the resource of all." - Carla L. Rueckert

I recently found a quote by Zig Ziglar that read, "You can make positive deposits in your own economy every day by reading and listening to powerful, positive, life-changing content and by associating with encouraging and hope-building people." Later that same evening, I had an amazing conversation with a stranger at the gym. We talked for about an hour and a half about a variety of topics and it energized me for days. It also served as the inspiration for this meetup.

There are so many stressful and concerning events happening in our world today. Our society is struggling with depression, anxiety, and addiction to drugs and/or alcohol in order to cope with daily life. The even sadder reality is that most of us feel alone and believe we have no one who truly cares about our hidden pains. For the most part, I've been ok and have kept my head up, but I have to admit that I've felt absolutely exhausted and drained by life lately.

Conversations about Consciousness is a meetup designed to bring people together to enjoy some food, drinks, and conversation about the deeper topics of life such as philosophy, spirituality, social issues, and the mental health and welfare of each member. The hope is that we can create an open, warm, and safe community through weekly communion.

People from all backgrounds are welcome and invited to join us. In fact, the more diverse it is, the better. At the top of this description is a quote from Carla L. Rueckert which serves as almost a mission statement for this group. I genuinely believe that we can learn so much from each other and I think we should leverage the experiences and strength of others to continue our soul's journey and development.

There are countless ways to go about this, but I have chosen to start with some food, drinks, and conversation. I hope to meet you soon.
