A supportive space for connection, belonging, and authentic conversation

The LGBTQ+ Community Circle is a recurring gathering created to offer a safe, welcoming, and affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals to connect within community. This circle centers on mutual support, listening, and shared experience — a place where you can show up as yourself without pressure, explanation, or judgment.

Each gathering invites participants into thoughtful conversation and reflection around themes such as identity, belonging, relationships, resilience, and navigating life authentically. You are welcome to share openly, listen quietly, or simply be present — participation is always at your own pace.

This is not a therapy group, but a community-based support space grounded in respect, compassion, and confidentiality. Our intention is to foster connection, reduce isolation, and strengthen a sense of belonging through shared humanity and care.

What to Expect

• A calm, respectful, and affirming environment
• Open conversation guided by gentle prompts
• Opportunities for sharing, reflection, and listening
• No pressure to speak or participate beyond your comfort level

Who This Is For

• LGBTQ+ individuals seeking connection and community
• Those looking for a supportive space to be seen and heard
• Anyone wanting to engage in conscious, respectful dialogue

Community Agreements

• Confidentiality and mutual respect
• Listening without interruption or judgment
• Speaking from personal experience
• Honoring boundaries — your own and others’

Full details, including meeting format and access information, will be shared after RSVP.
We’re honored to hold this space together and look forward to welcoming you into the circle.

Theme this season: "Summer of Light"
Summer is about discovering the Truth of who you are and the Light that is within you!
Heart-to-Heart this season is not about becoming someone new, but about peeling back the layers to reveal the golden light that has always been yours.

Our Intention
The heart of these gatherings is holding space.
We are not here to analyze, advise, or solve one another. Instead, we practice being present—with ourselves and with each other—offering encouragement, grounding, and gentle reminders of our inner resilience.

Facilitation
These sessions are led by John Feliz, Shaman, Affective Empath, and Spiritual Healer. John brings a calm, steady presence to the circle, helping maintain emotional safety, flow, and respect while allowing the group’s shared wisdom to unfold organically.

Cost & Ongoing Support
Heart-to-Heart gatherings are offered at no cost to all membership levels in The Village, and for a limited time we are welcoming nonmembers through our meetup groups.

For those who feel called to deeper, individualized support, one-on-one coaching and mentorship with John are available separately.

Your sensitivity is not something to fix—it’s something to honor.
Come as you are. Share what you can. Rest where you need.
We’ll hold the space together.

Curious about the program but not sure if you're ready to commit?

You're invited to sit in on one of our live lectures as a guest.
Over the next 13 weeks, we'll be exploring A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn—a book that challenges us to examine American history through the eyes of ordinary people rather than those who traditionally wrote the history books.

This is not a debate. It is not a political rally.

It is an educational lecture series designed to help us think more critically, ask better questions, and explore history from multiple perspectives.

### Guest Attendance

Meetup guests are welcome to attend this session as observers.

As a guest, you'll be able to:

• Listen to the full lecture live.
• Submit questions through the Zoom chat.

To preserve the continuity of the course for enrolled participants, guest attendees will remain muted during the discussion portion of the program. Since each session builds upon previous lectures and assigned readings, live discussion is reserved for registered participants who are actively progressing through the curriculum together.
If, after attending, you decide you'd like to become part of the conversation, participate in discussions, and Join the We the People Program, we'd love to welcome you.

Whether you come to observe or decide to join the full journey, we're grateful you're here.
History belongs to all of us. Let's explore it together.

Join us for our next Village Movie Night as we watch George Orwell’s Animal Farm—a timeless story about power, freedom, equality, and what happens when a revolution begins to resemble the very system it sought to replace.

🗓 Friday, October 2nd, 2026
⏰ Showtime: 7:30 PM ET
👋 First-timers: Please arrive at 7:15 PM for setup
💻 Platforms needed: Zoom + Teleparty + YouTube Movie Link

🐷 About the Film
The animals of Manor Farm overthrow their cruel human owner with dreams of creating a society where “All animals are equal.” But as the pigs assume leadership, their new society slowly transforms into something far darker.
Originally inspired by the Russian Revolution and the rise of Stalinism, Orwell’s political satire explores power, propaganda, inequality, manipulation, and the fragility of freedom—themes that continue to resonate more than 80 years later.

📺 How to Join
We’ll meet on Zoom first to say hello and get everyone connected. From there, we’ll share the Teleparty link so we can watch together in sync.
Before joining: Install Teleparty for free at https://www.teleparty.com and make sure you have access to the streaming service being used for the film. Streaming details will be confirmed before Movie Night.
