Community Rhythms

Our weekly examen groups are the heart of our community experience. They’re the primary way we help you find your “community within the community.” Members of weekly examen groups bear witness to each other's lives and offer companionship, encouragement, friendship, and support to one another in the unfolding realities of life.

Additionally, we offer several weekly threads that help you stay connected to your light, your contemplative posture, and the community.

  • Monday Becoming: a thread where you can share some aspect of your current becoming-ness with us

  • Tuesday Practice: a place to share one of your spiritual practices from the past week

  • Thursday Reflection: a video reflection from the founder each week

  • Friday Share: a “virtual potluck” for informal sharing and connection at the end of the week

We also offer live community gatherings (called “glow-ups”) every week that follow a monthly rotation cycle: 

  • The first week of the month is a Light Tending session. 

  • The second and third weeks of the month are variable and creative and change from month to month.

  • The fourth week of the month is our contemplative gathering called Sanctuary.

When you join as a member, you can freely participate in these rhythms in the way that works with your life, your interests, and your spiritual needs and desires. Everything is shared with open hands. You have full permission to participate where you like, shaping your community experience around what’s most meaningful to you.
