KC Deep Connection & Active Nights (30s–40s)

Very small, slow-growing circle in the KC / Overland Park area for people who:

• feel most at home in one-on-one or tiny groups
• have a rich inner life and strong conscience
• like life and connection side by side and in motion (courts, trails, parks)
• enjoy listening, talking, supporting, sharing, and caring
• keep their presence with others steady, kind, and clear

Many of us will have some kind of Christian or spiritually reflective background and cherish traditional family setups: thriving relationships and marriages, and loving, resilient children. Core values: integrity, responsibility, warmth, and treating people well.

This will feel like “home” if most of this is already true for you:

• You’ve been “the intense one” – strong mind, strong heart, strong sense of what’s right.
• You prefer deep connection with a few people over general socializing.
• You enjoy being in your body and are consistently active most weeks (several days of movement): racket sports, walks, runs, hikes, lifting, yoga, kid play, etc.
• You care about how you show up in your body, your energy, and your character.
• Status, ego, and image matter little to you compared to being solid, kind, and trustworthy.

You might resonate with things like:

• “Deep one-on-one relating is key for me. I keep my circle small and tight because time, energy, and attention are limited resources.”
• “One of the few ways I reach a flow state is through deep and clear connection. Clear channels, mutual attunement, and self-containment feel like true mirroring.”
• “Finding my correct partner and a few mutually orienting peers would be game changing. I wasn’t built to be alone; deep co-regulation makes life feel worth living.”

What we’ll do

Offer a few similarly wired people repeated exposure to one another, helping create safety and allowing connection and trust to grow at a natural pace through things like:

• Tiny active meetups (pickleball, tennis, walks, hikes, runs)
• Simple hangs like coffee, shared meals, park time (sometimes with kids), or music/creative nights
• Optional chances, for those who want it, to explore gentle spiritual spaces or practices together

If this reads less like a goal and more like “that’s just how I already am” — if this feels close to your natural shape — you’re probably the right kind of person for this space, and are welcome to join and feel it out. ✌🏻 We’ll keep the circle small and very attuned, and see how it wants to grow.

More optional reading below, for the few who really resonate with this...

The group description is the short version of what this space is about.
This is the longer, inside-language version — for the people who read it and feel like it’s describing their nervous system.

If most of this feels familiar, you’re probably extra in the right place.

How some of us are wired

You might resonate with things like:

• “I enjoy diving deeply into relationship with one person at a time, exploring each other’s internal universe in as many ways as possible and agreeable.”
• “I enjoy cultivating interdependence and shared meaning from a place of joy and mutual attunement; it is play for me.”
• “I have found I can bond deeply with literally one person at a time in an interaction. If another person joins, my whole system contracts in confusion and I reflexively start masking.”
• “Deep one-on-one relating is key for me. I keep my circle small and tight because time, energy, and attention are limited resources.”
• “Finding other people who are integrated and mutually oriented for relational attunement would be game changing for me.”
• “There appear to be different types of presence and connection. I thrive in relational differentiation and connection through orientation. Both people are tracking the relationship; the attunement labour is shared.”
• “Finding people who are naturally mutually orienting has been a strange breath of fresh air — relating feels rich, dense, immediate, alive, and full of reflection.”
• “One of the few ways I reach a flow state is through deep and clear connection. We keep ‘clear channels’ with ourselves by being present, attuned, regulated as a baseline, aware, self-contained, and then we can offer that presence to someone else. It’s effortful, but so rewarding. This is true mirroring.”
• “I am looking for peers who enjoy high-bandwidth, compassionate, nonlinear dialogue — one-on-one chats or very small groups are my sweet spot.”
• “Finding my correct partner would change everything for me. In a non-codependent way, I feel I wasn’t built to be alone. I’d genuinely thrive into the person I am to become with a right partnership and the growth and support that comes with it. Deep coregulation makes life feel worth living.”

What this space is really trying to hold

Underneath the activities (pickleball, walks, coffee, games), the hope is to find a few people who:

• are dyad- or tiny-group–primary
• enjoy high-bandwidth, emotionally aware connection
• like life side by side and in motion
• value clear channels, shared attunement, and steady presence
• care about faith, family, and living well in very practical ways

If this reads like how you’re already built (rather than an ideal you’re reaching for), then you’re exactly the kind of person this experiment is for.

Feel free to react, comment with which lines land most for you, or add a line of your own that describes your wiring. That helps us find each other more clearly. ✌🏻
