Friendship Groups for Humans
“In our communities we uphold the respect and value of every member while practicing loving-kindness and vulnerability together as we explore wellness topics every week in a supportive environment. ”
Friendship Groups for Humans are currently available for ages 18+.
Make new friends in a supportive community that embraces loving-kindness.
What we Do
Every week, we come together and share about our lives. We connect with what is meaningful for us. Then we focus on a wellness topic for the week, process and integrate ideas together, have more sharing, and face the week with purpose, love and support.
“The more you love others the more love you feel. It’s a winning loop”
“Loving-Kindness is a healthy way to interact with other humans and is a bedrock of our communities. ”
We start by creating a ground for healthy connection and co-creation.
All of our emotions have purpose. Being happy doesn’t mean being happy all the time, it means being connected to our true self and living in the moment. It means being open to all of our emotions as they arise and not being stuck in one for too long.
Vulnerability is essential for creating meaningful relationships. I lead with vulnerability and we will explore this topic early on.
Flexibility in our ideas, thoughts, activities and emotions is key to good health. Rigidity holds you in the past with fixed ways of being that I sometimes refer to as creative adjustments, the best we could do at the time. Sometimes we hold on to fixed creative adjustments even after the time & situation has changed. By bringing support to where it’s needed we can find flexibility again.
Living with Gratitude is an essential practice to feeling well. We practice gratitude together. Looking for the good in our days changes our focus from scarcity to abundance. Focusing on what we do have rather than on what we can’t have is especially useful during tumultuous times when many things may be outside of our control.
Loving-Kindness is a healthy way to interact with other humans and is a bedrock of our communities. Practice it here and let it spill into your life.
The more you love others the more love you feel. It’s a winning loop.
The kinds of topics that emerge include topics such as forgiveness, boundaries, self-care and self love, and more.
Healthy Connection is key to mental health and to a meaningful life. Practice here & transform your relationships over time.

Community Matters
We humans are pack animals, we thrive in community. We thrive when we are authentic. Our wellness is nurtured when we feel safe and supported, seen and understood.
If you change your path by even one degree, over time your path will take you to a new destination.
Set your destination on wellness and join a community that will support you on your journey, together.
You Belong
As part of the human race, it is your birthright to connect meaningfully with others and to belong.
