In this monthly, pop-up community in Basel, I aim to bring together people who want to share the magic of being delightfully, weirdly, totally human through the use of deep, guided conversations.
In this shared space we meet to drop the weighted masks of perfection and shame. To explore our deep truths, to speak from our souls, and to see and hear others’ truths. We aim to connect with ourselves, others, and the city we live in. (See also: drink coffee & eat cake.)
It’s time.
I started this group in 2019 when my husband moved away to another country. Weekends as a solo parent in a foreign country felt kinda lonely. (And when I say “kind of”, I mean they were a fresh kind of boring hell.) My soul craved deep conversations over a cup of coffee. So I created what I craved.
Now, as much as ever, we need safe ways to meet in person, to connect with the community we live in. Due to the current situation we have moved our gatherings outdoors.
• THIS MONTH •
We will meet for a forest walk and end by a fire. Please wear weather appropriate clothing. And bring something water proof to sit on by the fire, as well as finger food to share. Bring your own drink.

What we do:
The exact format changes each month but is inspired by the work of Priya Parker, mediator and author of the phenomenal book The Art of Gathering. Each gathering generally follows the structure of a guided conversation around a specific theme or topic. Group oracle card readings often included.
Who we are:
The groups so far have been about 8-10 people. A beautiful, quirky, vibrant, eclectic mix of small business owners, writers, freelancers, energy workers, corporate employees, yoga instructors, photographers, hypnotists, managers, witches, and professional opera singers. I love it.
Please bring:
a sense of openness, community, exploration & curiosity. All genders welcome.
This month also bring: weather appropriate clothing, finger food, something to sit on the ground around the fire
I kindly ask that you leave:
shame, guilt, judgment, ego, business promotion at the door. You can always pick it back up when you leave.
We meet at:
Tram 8 Neuweilerstrasse (Tram 8 Endstation in Allschwil).
Please do not be late. We are not staying here but going into the forest. If you are late, you will miss us.
Cost:
FREE to all.
