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.
• Follow the discussion as it unfolds.
• 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 full 13-week experience, 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.

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.
