?✍️ Monthly Reflection Jam (First Sundays) [public]

On the first Sundays of every month, gather for an evening of guided journaling and sharing, to the rhythm of cozy lofi beats. You'll honor your personal experiences of the past month with a series of reflections, inspired by the life of the monarchs: Flourishing: What was a moment you felt closest to flourishing? Encounter: What was a moment you encountered the limits of your human existence? (.e.g. loss, choice, suffering?) Origins: What was a moment you felt, "This is what makes me who I am"? Becoming: What was a moment you felt, "This is who I want to be?" If you're in a social vibe, joining as a Mingling Muser will allow you to share reflections with a small group. If you want to journal alone, joining as a Solo Sojourner will give you space alongside quiet company for a private reflection. Come with something to write with/on. If you've come before, bring your pebble. Invite a friend! "A lovely way to spend a Sunday evening -- the jam gave me the chance to slow down and sit with the triumphs, disappointments, and transitions of a chaotic and difficult month.” —Justin “It was a great way to reflect on my month and what I'd learned from my experiences, while meeting some new people and discussing deeper topics.” —Trevor “Even though I opted for the solo track and was journaling to myself, I felt seen, connected, and celebrated.” —James Suggested Donation Please chip in any amount to help cover the costs of hosting and food.
