Gatherings

Our gatherings are simple, warm, and unhurried. They are held for anyone who is carrying something heavy and would like company while setting it down.

What Attending Is Like

You arrive into a welcoming space where nothing is asked of you but your presence. There is time to settle before anything begins. When we start, you are gently guided through releasing what weighs on you — not by explaining it to the room, but by letting the breath, the words, and the quiet do their work.

Together we speak a group affirmation and a prayer of gratitude. There are moments of silence, and moments of sound and vibration, that allow what has been stirred to move rather than settle. Nobody is put on the spot, and you are always free to simply listen.

Afterwards there is time for questions and conversation. Many people find this is where the sense of community takes root — in the unhurried talk that follows.

Gatherings are intentionally kept intimate so that there is room for depth and genuine connection rather than performance. They are open to people of every faith and background, and to those of none. You do not need any experience, belief, or preparation to attend.

Coming for the First Time

If this would be your first gathering, know that many people in the room arrived the same way you did — carrying something heavy, unsure what to expect, and hoping for a little company while setting it down. There is nothing to prepare and nothing to bring. Come as you are, arrive a few minutes early if you can, and give yourself time to settle before anything begins. You are always free to simply listen; nobody is put on the spot, and no one is asked to explain their story to the room.

Our gatherings are held in community spaces and online rather than at a permanent public office, which keeps them accessible to people wherever they are. That is deliberate. We believe in the inherent potential for healing that resides within each person, and our work is to make the opportunity for it available to as many people as possible — including those who have not had access to these kinds of experiences before.

If you would like to know more before deciding, write to us. We are glad to answer questions about what a gathering is like, and no question is too small.

Recent Gatherings

These are recent gatherings Angelica has led.

Gathering —

Angelica taught that gratitude is the key that turns sadness into happiness, and that each of us faces the choice to spiral downwards or to spiral upwards. She spoke of self-preservation as our first responsibility, and of how that responsibility makes us the architects of our own happiness or our own misery. She reminded the room that we are beings of light embodied in a physical vehicle, and offered a way to meet anger: asking why we are angry, and how we can bring a solution rather than an additional problem. She closed on being kind to yourself and filling your own cup before trying to fight the world’s problems.

Gathering —

Angelica spoke about unconditional love as the most powerful medicine, offered anytime and anywhere to everyone who needs it. She invited each person to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem, through one good thought or a gentle smile. She named loneliness as the biggest epidemic of our time, now that we have been so long scattered from one another. She shared her own testimony of surviving when she was not supposed to walk or live beyond five years of age, and drew from it the reminder that none of us are powerless or useless, because we are powerful and purposeful.
