A considerate circle with potluck food, shared stories, randomly thought-of songs, and real company for people seeking honest connection.
About this Event

Some Sundays call for more than errands, screens, or small talk.

Here Together is a shared gathering built around potluck food, honest conversation, rhythm, and the kind of presence people remember once they’ve experienced it. We gather in a simple circle on cushions and blankets, either in the Creative Empowerment Collective studio with its bamboo floor or in an outdoor place chosen together at the end of the previous gathering, such as a park or forest trail.

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

We begin by arriving on purpose. At the opening, guests are invited to choose either smudging or the warm scent of tulsi, rose, and chai herbs rubbed together in their palms. From there, the afternoon unfolds in a way that feels grounded and alive.

Food is shared potluck-style. Stories arise naturally. Sound moves through the circle in many forms: snapping and clapping in rhythm, improvised singing, and sometimes a song played from someone’s phone when the moment calls for it and everyone can feel why it belongs there.

This is a space for people who want real company, straight talk, and meaningful exchange as part of a weekend life that feels worth living. Many people are looking for trustworthy relationships and wholesome connection with actual human beings in actual time. Here Together makes room for that.

Some people come ready to speak. Some come ready to listen. Some arrive alone and find themselves welcomed into the circle with ease. Children are welcome too.

WHAT TO WEAR / BRING

What matters most here is presence. You do not need to prepare anything beyond what you would like to bring for the potluck and whatever helps you feel comfortable sitting in circle. You are welcome to join as you are and take part in the rhythm of the gathering in the way that feels right to you.

YOUR TAKEAWAYS

People often leave with a sense of being seen. They may also leave carrying a new thought, a new recipe, a new perspective, or a story that stays with them longer than expected.

Come share food. Come hear and be heard. Come spend some of your Sunday in the kind of company that helps people remember home in one another.
