This month

The solstice is the longest night of the year, and there is nothing to fix about it. The light comes back on its own schedule. This hour is for whatever you’re waiting on, and for sitting with it in company instead of alone.

The anchor

I bring this month’s question, then we sit with it for a moment.

7:10

The room opens

Most of the hour. Anyone can speak — about the anchor, or whatever is actually true for them tonight. Everyone else listens: no advice, no fixing, no rushing to make it better. Speak once, a few times, or not at all. Listening is taking part.

We close together

A last round — a few words each, if you want them.

After

Stay and keep talking, or go. The people you meet don’t have to stay in the hour.

There’s a seat for you.

There’s a seat for you.

One hour of being heard, and hearing others, for $29. The room is capped at twenty so everyone has space.
