What we’re about
Welcome, Empaths! Please note that this group is local to the Triangle area of NC (only some events are online if you live in other areas; most are in person). Our original founder started this Meetup group in 2021 to find and unite like-minded others who want to talk about life as an Empath. The vision was (and still is) for this group to become a safe space for Empaths at all stages of awareness. We have members of all ages and on varying paths in life journeys who meet and discuss our successes, ideas, struggles, and anything else that comes up (sometimes from the metaphysical to life’s mysteries to spirituality to deep thoughts to ponder and things that others might think as a little “weird” or out there, but most of us don’t. A lot of us tend to really like non-judgmental stimulating conversations about all sorts of topics). The requirements to join the group are that you do believe you are an Empath, that you are coming from a place of Love and Light, and that you have a photo that shows your face on your profile. We can discuss specific topics, like how to protect your energy, meditation and grounding exercises, relationships, spirituality, or have general discussions about our lives.
If you are not an Empath, we do ask that you look for other groups for socializing, as we aren’t sure you’ll get what you are looking for out of our group events and discussions if you aren’t “feeling” or experiencing life in a similar way. If you’re not sure if you are and think you could be, feel free to message me and we can chat about what you might want to get from this group.
A few general considerations for our group and events: 1) Please make sure you are respectful of other members (including their energies and identities, keeping things they share private, personal space, no harassing or discriminatory behavior, asking permission to talk about sensitive topics where needed, etc.) at all times. If this is in question, you may be asked to leave the event and/or group. 2) Pause to listen as much as you share. Some of our members may feel especially sensitive to “over-talking” or being “talked at” instead of “talked with,” so check that you are inviting questions from individuals and the group just as much as you share. 3) Respect that others’ opinions may be different from yours and that is ok as long as the values behind it do no harm to others. 4) When you respond to attend an event, there may be waitlists. Please change your RSVP as soon as you know you can't attend so that you don’t keep someone else from being able to participate. If you are a no-show to more than one event and do not change your RSVP, we may remove you from events unless you message the Organizer or Event Organizer to ensure you are attending. 5) Please do not show up to an event you have not RSVP’ed to. By doing this, you may skip people who are on the waitlist and the Event Organizer has also considered space and other planning needs if they have set an attendance limit.
The Meetup group is totally free. If you would like to make a small love donation to help with the cost of the Meetup fees, feel free to (but not necessary). Venmo is @Beth-BurtCary.
If you have questions at all, please do not hesitate to message me. This group belongs to all of us. Also, let me know if you would like to become an Event Organizer (after you have attended some of our events). The Event Organizers and I are always open to find ways to improve the group, so your feedback is valuable.
Thanks, and I look forward to meeting you and sharing good energy.

About the Raleigh Drum Circle:
Every Wednesday from 7:00pm - 8:30pm (6:45pm setup), the Raleigh Drum Circle gathers in Pullen Park for a completely free drum circle. You are welcome to bring any drum and join in, and they also have a limited number of drums available to borrow, but you can also just sit and listen. They have some chairs they pull out, but you can also bring a blanket to sit on the lawn. In addition to the drumming, there are typically all sorts of activities in the background - hula hoopers, dancers, acro yoga, slack lines, jugglers, and a ton of music, dancing and good energy. When the weather is nice, it can be pretty magical to be outside among all of it. See pics on their website here:

Come and experience the restorative power of nature and community. Let's ground ourselves, release what no longer serves us, and fill our cups in this special place.
