Finding Our Way Together: A Collaborative Conversation on Meaningful Living in C

About the Event:

How do we make or find purpose and meaning in times of accelerated change?

Don't worry. This is NOT another boring talk about it. We checked. It's actually fun.

Everything feels like it's moving fast these days. The news. The weather. Even Tuesday.

So here's a question worth asking: when everything keeps changing, how do we find what actually matters? Good news — you don't have to answer that alone, and you definitely don't have to sit through a lecture.

No stage. No expert. No pop quiz. Just you, a comfy chair, and an index card.

Here's the whole plan: pick a card, think about it, doodle if you want, then share out loud — or don't. Both are just fine. There are no wrong answers. Not one.

What's on the card? You'll find out when you get there. Good questions have a way of changing as they go, so we're keeping ours fresh, one gathering at a time.

Four Tuesdays. Four fresh questions (maybe more). Zero boring moments. Aug 18 · Aug 25 · Sep 1 · Sep 8, 2026 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Come to one. Come to all four. Bring a friend, or don't.
