Black Couples

Hi everyone! 👋🏾 My friend Forest and I are hosting a **year-end Sharing & Caring Circle** — a small, intimate in-person gathering designed for folks who want genuine connection, grounding, and reflective community before the year wraps up. We’re opening this up to this group because we know many of you value depth, reflection, and honest conversation. **However, space for this event is very limited**, and we are also inviting people from outside this group. ### **📌 IMPORTANT NOTE — PLEASE READ BEFORE RSVPing** RSVPing here on Meetup **does *not*** guarantee you a spot. Your RSVP here is *only* to show that you’re **interested**. If, after reading the full event details below, you feel this gathering truly speaks to you **and** you know you’re available on December 20, **please message me directly**. Once you message me, I’ll send you the official registration link. This is to ensure we can curate the right number of people and hold the intimate structure of the circle. *** # **✨ About the Event** **Sharing & Caring Circle** **December 20 • 3–5 PM EST** **Centre for Social Innovation, Spadina** 2025 has been an intense year — globally, collectively, and personally. Before we stumble into the new year, this circle offers a moment to pause, release what’s heavy, regain your footing, and remember that you don’t have to carry everything alone. This is **not therapy**. It’s a supportive human space rooted in presence, storytelling, and community care. No fixing. No advice-giving. No “shoulds.” Just real connection. ### **What to Expect** * A gentle welcome + grounding breath * A reflective prompt to help you settle in * **Two rounds of open, story-style sharing** * Optional connective conversations * A closing ritual to leave you feeling clearer, lighter, and supported ### **Who It’s For** Anyone navigating: * Midlife transitions * Career or identity shifts * Relationship changes * Emotional exhaustion * The general “WTF-ness” of this year * Or anyone simply craving real community before the holidays Come as you are. Leave a little steadier. *** # **🔗 How to Attend** 1. **RSVP here only if you’re interested.** 2. **Then message me directly** to confirm you want to attend. 3. You’ll receive the private registration link *only through DM*. 4. Your spot is confirmed *once you complete the official registration*. Again, attendance is capped and we’re curating a small group — so please reach out early if this resonates with you.
