The Unfolding Gathering is a group of 6–10 people who come together to discuss the big questions of life. These meetings have a deliberate opening and closing practice, space for storytelling, honest reflection, and commitment to social action.
The Unfolding Gathering reclaims ancient human gathering practices like ritual and story. At the same time, they are created for connecting at a deep level so there is no dogma or top-down leadership, and these groups are open and affirming of all people. Regardless of your background, you are welcome here.
Each gathering lasts about 90 minutes and follows a simple flow: welcome and centering, storytelling around a guiding question (such as purpose, grief, or hope), reflection, and a closing ritual. These gatherings are gently facilitated to ensure safety, inclusion, and depth.
Each group will meet for a series of gatherings over six consecutive weeks. Most gatherings will be virtual, though some will be in the San Francisco Bay Area. Groups run once enough participants have expressed interest and a time has been selected through polling. There is a fee to join, offered on a sliding scale.
Please fill out the form on this page to express your interest in joining one of these groups. We will be in contact with more information and an invitation to join.
