Join us for tea, gentle conversation, and meaningful reflection in a calm, supportive circle. Share a quote, poem, or thought — or simply listen. We’ll close with a loving-kindness meditation. All are welcome.

Shared Words & Reflection

What it is
A calm, intimate gathering centered on shared words — quotes, poems, passages, or reflections — and gentle conversation in a supportive circle.

Who it’s for
For caregivers, parents, helpers, listeners, and anyone longing for meaningful connection without pressure.
Especially supportive for those seeking quiet community, reflection, and a place to be heard — or simply to listen.

What to expect
We’ll begin at 5:00 PM with tea and light treats as we settle into a quiet circle. After brief introductions, each participant will have a few minutes to share a meaningful quote, poem, passage, or reflection, along with a short thought about what it represents.
Gentle questions and conversation are welcome, and listening is always honored. Sharing is invited, never required.

We’ll close with an open group discussion and a brief loving-kindness meditation, offering peace to ourselves, our loved ones, and the wider world.

Why it matters
Being witnessed — and witnessing others — is a powerful form of care. This gathering supports:

• Emotional connection and reflection

• Slowing down in a busy world

• Compassion for self and others

• A sense of belonging through shared humanity

Experience level
No preparation needed. You may bring something to share or simply come to listen.
