A space for thoughtful conversation
This gathering is for people who enjoy meaningful conversation and are curious about how individuals and communities can contribute to a better world.
We will read short selections from A Common Endeavor, reflect on them together, and discuss questions of purpose, service, unity, and community life.
No prior background is needed. People of all beliefs, backgrounds, and levels of experience are welcome.

How the conversations work
Before or during each gathering, participants can read short passages and add comments or questions in Perusall, an online reading space. This helps everyone see what stood out to others and gives us a starting point for conversation.
This is not a class or lecture. A facilitator helps guide the flow, but all participants contribute to a shared process of reflection, discovery, and consultation.
First-time participants can join using the access code: SRWSH-U6CCW
