The First Gathering: A Sacred Circle of Remembrance & Rising

### Updated Meetup Details—New Date, New Space & Potluck Info!

Hi, everyone!
I’m excited to share some wonderful updates about our first gathering — and yes, it’s all good news!

New Date
Our first meetup will now take place on Thursday, May 15th, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
This allows everyone a bit more time to arrive after work and ease into the evening.

New Location Secured!
We now have a confirmed space to meet — our gathering will be held at
Unity Center of North Spokane
4123 Lincoln Rd, Spokane, WA 99217

This space is peaceful, welcoming, and beautifully aligned with the soul-centered community we’re co-creating. While it is technically a “church,” please know that this is a gathering space, not a religious setting — one that honors all paths, backgrounds, and beliefs. Our intention here is unity, oneness, and shared healing.

Potluck Style Gathering
Yes, this will be a potluck! If you’re able to bring a dish — home-cooked, store-bought, or just a simple snack — it’s all welcome. I’ll be making a big pot of homemade chili for everyone to enjoy. Sharing a meal is such a powerful way to connect, and I look forward to breaking bread with all of you.

Please RSVP
This is important so we can plan accordingly and choose the right space. The Unity Center has a few smaller rooms, but anything over 10 people will be held in their main meeting area, with access to the kitchen. I’ll be meeting with the spiritual director this week to confirm those details and will keep you updated.

Want to Contribute or Help?
If you’d like to contribute toward the space fee, bring extra food, or offer help with setup or cleanup, please email me at **connect@brandilyndeeannllc.com**. Even small acts of support mean a lot and will help this community grow strong from the start.

I know this is just our first gathering, but I already feel the potential for something truly special here. If you’re feeling called to be a part of it — trust that. We’re building something sacred, and I believe we each have something powerful to offer.
With love and excitement,
Brandilyn

### Event Description:

This is where it begins.

Our first circle. A space of remembrance, healing, and rising together.
Join us for the very first gathering of Voices of the Shift: Rising in Oneness — a sacred community of spiritually awakened and awakening individuals in Spokane. We are healers, seekers, visionaries, creatives, teachers, and guides — each carrying a piece of the whole.

This first circle will be a time to:
✨ Introduce ourselves and why we’ve felt called to gather
✨ Share intentions and visions for the community we’re building
✨ Open our hearts and voices in a safe, sacred container
✨ Experience a short guided meditation or spiritual practice
✨ Connect, listen, speak, and remember — together

This gathering will also be a potluck-style dinner — because nourishment is sacred, too.
Let’s break bread, share what we can, and nourish our bodies as we nourish our souls.

Bring a small dish or snack to share if you’re able — homemade or store-bought, all is welcome.
Let’s make this circle feel like home from the very beginning.
There’s no pressure to “perform” or be anything other than who you are.
Come as you are — with your voice, your presence, your curiosity.
This is a beginning. A soft and powerful one.
You don’t have to know the full path — just trust that you’re being called for a reason.

### What to Bring:

• A journal and pen
• A floor cushion or something comfy to sit on
• A dish or snack to share (optional but appreciated)
• An open heart
• Optional: any sacred object you'd like to place in the center of our circle (crystals, feathers, flowers, photos, etc.)
