About us
Deeper conversations. Practical wisdom. Real friendships.
Introducing: Hearth -- a secular community for younger adults to explore wisdom, support each other, and have fun. Like the best parts of religion, without anyone telling you what to believe!
This Meetup is meant to showcase Hearth opportunities for the general public to mix and mingle with the community at our open socials.
Hearth Circles are small group of about 10 members who gather twice monthly in living rooms to check in with one another, reflect, hang out, and hold longer discussions on important life topics such as love, friendship, gratitude, or grief.
Hearth has four parts:
- Wisdom discussions
- Peer check-ins for consistent, mutual support
- Volunteer/service opportunities, and
- Parties!

***
We’re borrowing a format inspired by other reading party clubs (e.g. Reading Rhythms): part quiet reading session, part conversation, part cozy hangout! Bring whatever you’re actually excited to read—fiction, nonfiction, poetry, essays, a favorite childhood novel of yours, graphic novel, Kindle, whatever :)
đź“– **What to Expect**
We’ll start with time to just settle in and meet people. Then:
**25 minutes — Read together** Pick a comfy spot and enter your literary world.
**15 minutes — Pair conversation** Meet someone new and talk about what you’re reading, why you picked it, or something that caught your attention.
**25 minutes — Read together again** Back into the book cave.
**20 minutes — Small-group convo** We’ll split into groups based loosely on what our books are making us think about—relationships, how to live, society, imagination, or just reading for fun.
**15 minutes — Hang** Mix and mingle, swap book rec's, enjoy the rest of the evening.
**A few notes**
We’ll have a few extra books on hand if you forget yours.
You also do not need to be a “big reader” to come. The whole idea is pretty simple: spend some quiet time reading in a room full of people, then use what you read as a jumping-off point for good convo.
Bring a book and RSVP đź“š
