The Human Reunion: Remembering What It Means to Be Human

Step out of the noise and into presence. An evening of real connection, honest conversation, and humanity restored.
About this Event

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.” — Rumi

We are living in a world overflowing with noise, opinions, and fear—a world that keeps us distracted, divided, and disconnected from one another. The Human Reunion is an invitation to step out of that noise and return to what’s real.

This 3.5-hour guided experience is about remembering that we are more alike than we are different. It’s about rediscovering the sacred art of being present—with ourselves and with others. Through guided connection exercises, conscious conversation, and meaningful group experiences, we’ll explore how to listen to understand instead of to respond, how to express ourselves honestly and safely, and how to hold space for the full truth of another human being.

There’s no fixing, no performing, no right or wrong here—only curiosity, compassion, and presence. This is the field Rumi spoke of. The space where walls soften, hearts open, and understanding begins.


Why You’ll Want to Join Us

– Experience what it feels like to be truly seen, heard, and understood.
– Learn a new way of communicating that builds connection instead of division.
– Reunite with your humanity and your heart in a safe, supportive space.
– Meet new people who are craving the same depth and authenticity you are.
– Leave feeling lighter, clearer, and filled with renewed hope for what’s possible when we gather as humans, not labels or titles.


What You Can Expect

– Spend approximately 5–7 minutes with each person in the room, guided through meaningful connection practices.
– Learn a new style of communication that invites true listening, reflection, and understanding.
– Experience what it’s like to be heard—fully, without interruption, advice, or judgment—and offer that same gift to others.
– Practice allowing others to be who they are while giving yourself permission to take up the space of who you are.
– Participate in small group explorations and a closing circle for reflection and integration.
– Enjoy a 30-minute intermission mid-evening with snacks and water provided (please bring your own water bottle and, if you feel inspired, a snack to share).
