MY HEARTFELT INTENTION

Simply Gather Stories was founded on the belief that many of us are seeking more opportunities to gather in meaningful ways and have richer experiences. Where our presence matters, ideas are freely exchanged and diverse viewpoints are valued. Where we may find others who understand and appreciate our unique story… even the one we think is too ordinary to share, but actually is the story someone needed to hear.

Where we begin to realize that it’s far better to be on the journey together than alone.

My vision is to create an inclusive, collaborative setting that awakens and enlivens the art of gathering. To highlight a variety of themes, from profound and provocative to enlightening and entertaining, and bring together interesting guests for dynamic conversations. To encourage thoughtful, fruitful engagement that expands our awareness and what we imagine is possible. A space that sparks curiosity, inspires deeper dialogue and offers elements of discovery and delight.

In essence, to hold gatherings that nourish minds, hearts and souls.

WHY WE GATHER

My vision is to create an inclusive, collaborative setting that awakens and enlivens the art of gathering. To highlight a variety of themes, from profound and provocative to enlightening and entertaining, and bring together interesting guests for dynamic conversations. To encourage thoughtful, fruitful engagement that expands our awareness and what we imagine is possible. A space that sparks curiosity, inspires deeper dialogue and offers elements of discovery and delight.

This is how we build community and allow the power of true connection to unfold.

To counter the deficits of our modern world, with its uncertainties and assaults on our humanity, we need embodied presence. And gathering with intention is one of the most meaningful ways to enhance our social well-being and realize the common ground we share. When we acknowledge the value of our personal narratives, we are giving voice to what’s authentically human in ourselves and others.

This creates a shared sense of belonging, empathy and mutual respect.

THE ADDED VALUE

Authentic face-to-face conversations often have surprising and transformative outcomes, and these positive effects can influence every corner of our lives. When we’re willing to be fully present and vulnerable, we begin to let down the built-up defenses that tend to keep us isolated from one another.

The illusion of separateness begins to dissolve and we recognize that even with our differences, we all share the same fundamental life experiences: the joys and the sorrows, the successes and the setbacks, the loves and the losses.

This is at the heart of genuine connection. 

I invite you to join me in cultivating more of what matters.
