Sit & Share: Let’s Chat About Belonging, Grounding & the “Shittery” of Life

Let’s gather in the park for an afternoon of connection, curiosity, and honest conversation.

This month’s Sit & Share is about leaning into community and belonging – even (and especially) when life feels messy, unpredictable, or downright exhausting.

We’ll weave together meditation, meaningful conversation, and shared reflection in a relaxed, supportive space. No pressure. No small talk. Just the joy of sitting together, asking big questions, and seeing what unfolds.

What to Expect

We’ll begin with a short grounding meditation, then explore thought‑provoking prompts in rotating small‑group conversations. We'll have about three prompts, each about 15 minutes long.

Prompts may include:

• How to lean into community & belonging in the face of the “shittery” that life can present
• Practices that help you stay present instead of numbing out
• What energy you want to ground and carry forward

You’ll get to connect with several different groups throughout the afternoon, then gather as one circle to share insights and close together.

What to Bring

• Blanket, cushion, and/or chair
• Water bottle
• Hat and/or sunglasses (recommended)
• Journal & pen/pencil (optional)
• Food and/or beverages (optional)
