🍻 Nine Steps: Fridays At the Nest

Every 1st & 3rd Friday | 7:00–10:00pm | The Nest Lounge, Portland, OR

Step in from the storm. Slide into a booth. Take a breath. You have arrived.

Every other Friday, seekers of truth, healing, and human flourishing gather at The Nest—a cozy, friendly pub tucked away in Portland’s heart—to share stories, sip spirits, and explore what it means to be alive together.

This isn’t a lecture. It’s not a workshop. It’s a conversation—an open invitation to connect over drinks, dinner, and deep thoughts in a place where your quirks are cherished and your questions are welcome.

🌿 What to Expect

• Soft light. Warm food. Sparkling eyes and the quiet thrill of real talk.
• Conversations about the Nine Steps to Home: our signature path of human development through Self-Care, Connection, Ambition, Identity, Understanding, Alignment, Freedom, Sovereignty, and Wholeness.
• Laughter, resonance, and the joy of not needing to perform.
• No pressure. No prerequisites. No masks. Just show up as you are.

🍷 Why The Nest?
The Nest is more than a pub—it’s a pocket dimension for the tender and the wise. Nooks for introverts, games for the playful, and a menu that nourishes the body as well as the soul. It’s our hearth away from home.

🌕 Who’s It For?
These Friday gatherings are perfect for:

• Curious newcomers
• Longtime wanderers of the soul path
• Those who find cities overwhelming but still crave connection
• Queer, neurospicy, and spiritually seeking folk of all stripes
• Anyone who wants to meet the human behind the mission

🕯️ Guided by Devid
You’ll be welcomed by Devid Sword, creator of Nine Steps to Home—part mystic, part mischief-maker, part humble seeker. Come say hello, ask questions, share your story, or simply bask in the vibe. And yes, you’re welcome to keep it chill and just listen.

✨ So if your heart’s been hungry for something real—if you’re craving kinship, courage, or just a quiet corner to be yourself—you’ll find us here. No script, no sales pitch, no small talk unless that’s your thing. Just a circle of souls, gathering to remember what it means to be human. 💫
