Host a Gathering
Connection Cure gatherings are intimate experiences for groups of friends, families, communities, and strangers.
Gatherings are for those interested in deepening their connections; if you’ve ever experienced feelings of isolation or loneliness, if you’re longing to engage with yourself and delve into meaningful conversation and connection with others, and have a desire to create a sense of belonging, then it is time for you to gather.
Gatherings happen in living rooms, backyards, community centers, wellness spaces, boats, restaurants, co-working spaces, etc. Gatherings have been held for women’s groups, men’s groups, book clubs, non-profits, and schools, and are customized to address the group’s unique needs. All groups and communities are welcome to apply for a Connection Cure gathering to come to you!
Connection Cure gatherings are about creating spaces to learn, explore, and talk about connection while deepening our relationships and creating new community.
