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.

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**.

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*.

**Caller: Gaye Fifer** **Band: Hot Coffee Breakdown** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
