Meetups
A safe, judgement free way to share how you feel.
The More We Talk
The More We Heal
It can feel like there are more reasons not to talk than to talk. A never ending list of why you should be closed off and not become a better you. Being vulnerable requires finding a safe group of people. We are here to create a safe space, free of judgement, to allow people to express their emotions. We want to support people during the difficult times, and help celebrate their victories. We know not everyone had a safe home, where they were free to talk about their emotions, hopes, and dreams. Our hope is that we can be that space, even if it's out on the proverbial front lawn. When you feel safe, come inside.

Meetup Rules
We have a few quick rules:
We will treat things like Fight Club - Don't talk about what happens unless you have explicit permission. We want people to feel safe to share without being talked about later. Personal things discussed should be held in confidence.
We aren't therapists and this isn't actual therapy
Don't be rude, No Jerks Allowed
Some things that are talked about may be hard to hear
You don't have to share anything you don't want to share
Please show up sober and respectful
Not a rule, but it's a good idea to mention if you want advice/feedback or just to be listened to.
We're so excited to hold space for you.
How It Works
Keep an eye out here, and on our social media, for upcoming events. We will host a mix of virtual and in person meetups. The cost will be $10 all events, unless otherwise noted. $5 will be donated to support other organizations. A future goal of ours will be using that $5 to provide therapy sessions for those who cannot afford it.
We will meet up using Zoom for our virtual events. In person events will change based on location and activity. Coffee shops, climbing gyms, and other places may serve as physical locations for meetups. The goal is to allow everyone to share how they’re doing in a safe place with no fear of judgement. We are here to listen.
