About this Event

Have you ever been in a room full of people you know, yet somehow you still feel more like an observer or an outsider, wondering what you could possibly have in common with anyone there? Come join us for an intimate evening of verbal discovery, where we will dispense with the small talk in favor of connective conversation designed to deepen soul-level understanding of ourselves and one another.

Prepare to be curious, engaged, challenged, and heard as we speak and listen together. We will supply a specific topic and offer guided dialogue practice aimed at highlighting our shared humanity and confronting our own unique social programming. Words create worlds, so let’s build a more intentional universe together!


A Sacred Salon, where we discuss the things that matter.

Join us on September 23 at Temple in the Trees with your hosts Lara & Michael Blackin.
