Thrive in Midlife learn and share discussions

Thrive in Midlife – Meaningful Conversations, Fresh Perspectives
Welcome to Thrive in Midlife—a space for connection, reflection, and forward momentum. We meet every two weeks at a centrally located, indoor public venue chosen by the week’s host. Each meetup offers a relaxed and supportive environment to talk, share, and grow together.

Midlife is a powerful turning point. We’ve lived through challenges and triumphs, gathered wisdom, and now we get to ask: What do I want this next chapter to look like? How can I create more joy, meaning, and purpose from here forward?
✨ Join us for thought-provoking conversations as we explore:

• What it means to truly thrive as we age
• How to reclaim agency over what matters most
• Building resilience, joy, and deeper fulfillment in the years ahead

Each event will have a posted theme to guide our discussion—though we welcome wherever the conversation naturally flows. Whether you’re navigating change, seeking clarity, or simply craving real talk with like-minded people, you’ll find a warm and welcoming group here.

🤝 Come meet new friends who, like you, are navigating the ups and downs of midlife and are ready for more connection, insight, and support.
🌱 Bring your curiosity, your questions, and your lived experience. Let’s support one another in making the most of midlife—together.

Group Guidelines
Thrive in Midlife is an inclusive and respectful community where everyone is welcome. We value diverse backgrounds, cultures, beliefs, and life experiences—and we’re here to learn from one another with openness and kindness. All perspectives are invited, as long as they are shared with respect. We have zero tolerance for any form of discrimination, judgment, or disruptive behavior. Let’s co-create a space where everyone feels safe, seen, and supported.
