CONNECTION IS EVERYTHING!  But finding a place to connect is venerable, hard work... So we want to make it easier.  Together. More like us. Better Together. 
We measure the success of a Better Together Gathering through connection. 
Did each participant leave feeling more connected to at least one of the following sacred relationships:
  1. Better connected to one's self?
  2. Better connected to another?
  3. Better connected to whatever holds all things together for them?
If any of those connections have been curated we have honored our purpose-- that's the whole point. 
HOw We gather
Most our content exists online. We do this on purpose. So, when we gather, we are maximizing our chance to share ideas, have discussion, and live life together.  So we join up meeting face-to-face sharing, food, life, and laughter. 
​
Curious? You can hop online (Facebook group,  You Tube) and hear what we're talking about. No membership type stuff required. We're not super into that.   We are constantly readjusting our methods, shifting our language, & altering our style to reflect the energy & values of the whole. We will strive to flow with each other as we harmoniously honor each unique spiritual journey.
Who Convenes the Gathering?
We have a convener, Kate, who helps us from drifting into complacency and facilitates the group as our advisor. However, let it be known the space, vibe, social justice work, and expressions of faith exploration are all available for co-creation.  Please share your wisdom, tradition, experience, and sacred writings with us so we make be invited into new ways to interact with universal truths and have an opportunity to integrate your experience into our own spiritual practices. 
What to expect
Expect each gathering to be slightly different because each gathering is being constructed in real time as the participants help shape it.

Which is a fancy, arbitrary, and complicated way of saying:
  • We'll meet at someone's home about twice a month on a Friday or Saturday night.
  • We welcome all our new friends with a chill, "hey" and will show you to the buffet of pot-luck food items and where the bathrooms are so you can settle in. 
  • We'll eat and visit while wild children act like wild, little children.
  • We might sing, or listen to music.
  • We might listen to like a 5 minute share
  • We might wrap up with about 10 minutes of centering, quiet space to follow after our connection to God/Love/Source/Flow/Energy


​We exist
because church isn't for everyone... But community is. ​
 But we don't have to opt out of spiritual connection or community!  So instead what if:
We participated in a discussion instead of an lecture hall.
We could be an equal in the room and respected as a partner and not a nieve spectator.
We didn't have to filter our story and edit out the parts about sexuality, social status, or affiliations. We could just be real us.
We could work on our personal growth with-out all the shame and imposed ideals. 
We had no expectations of weekly attendance. 
What if we listened, with compassion, to the person beside us because empathy was a value higher than agreement.
