This is a guided group gathering focused on how we relate to ourselves and to others as we enter a new year. This is not a workshop or a discussion panel. It is a facilitated conversation built on presence, listening, and shared responsibility. Participants will sit in a circle and move through prompts that invite reflection, acknowledgment, and dialogue. Each person will be invited to speak, even briefly. Listening without interrupting and making space for others is part of the practice.

What We’ll Be Exploring

The conversation will center around care as a daily practice, not an abstract idea. Topics may include:

• What it means to handle your energy, time, and attention with care

• How you show up in shared spaces and relationships

• The difference between listening and waiting to speak

• What you are carrying into the year, and what may need to be held differently

• How awareness, restraint, and honesty shape community

These prompts are designed to open inquiry, not to arrive at conclusions.

What to Expect

• A structured, facilitated group conversation

• Clear guidelines that support mutual respect and participation

• Space for reflection, response, and acknowledgment

• A New Year notebook for personal notes and insights

• Light refreshments will be available

Important Notes

This gathering is supportive but not therapeutic. It is not intended for advice-giving, fixing, or replacing professional mental health support. Participants should feel able to self-regulate and engage respectfully in a shared group setting. This space is best suited for those who are open to hearing different perspectives, willing to participate in conversation, and interested in practicing care in real time.
