🍻 Nine Steps: Drinks & Deep Discussions

Rotating Venues | 1st & 3rd Fridays, 7-10pm | Portland, OR

💬 Come for the drinks. Stay for the metaphysics.

Nine Steps: Drinks & Deep Discussions is our nomadic night of connection and conversation—part salon, part soul-search, part delightful descent into the depths of what it means to be alive. Each time, we gather at a different bar, pub, or lounge in Portland. Sometimes it’s cozy and quiet. Sometimes it’s wild and weird. But always, it’s real.

This is neither lecture nor support group, per se. It’s something in between: a place to sip, laugh, muse, and meander into the mysterious. If you're a spiritual seeker, philosophical nerd, lonely heart, cosmic weirdo, or just bored of small talk—pull up a chair. 🍻

🍷 What to Expect

• A changing venue each time (we'll post the spot in advance)
• A 3-hour come-as-you-please gathering, ages 21+
• No formal agenda—just deep talk, good questions, and bold hearts
• Light guidance from the Nine Steps to Home framework
• Optional card games, weird questions, or spontaneous rituals
• Drinks encouraged, pressure discouraged—sober folk welcome too

Some order cocktails, some sip soda, some just show up for the company. We usually gather around a table or two, pulling in chairs as the circle grows. What matters isn’t what’s in your glass—it’s the conversation you pour into it.

🌈 Who It’s For

• People who feel too weird for church and too deep for brunch
• Neurodivergent, queer, and curious humans
• Thinkers, seekers, and overthinkers
• Extroverts, introverts, and those shapeshifting in between
• Anyone craving conversation that actually goes somewhere

🕯️ Hosted by Devid Sword

You’ll be welcomed by Devid—creator of Nine Steps to Home, philosopher in a funny hat, and sly instigator of conversations that hit like truth bombs. He’s here to hold space, guide dialogue, and make sure nobody gets left out.
