Soul Talks: Living Well, Dying Well

​Explore Life, Death, and Meaning in Community

​

Soul Talks are monthly, facilitated gatherings where we reflect on life, explore death, and consider what it means to live fully. In a safe, intimate circle, participants share stories, ask questions, and connect over the experiences that make life meaningful.

​

Each session is 90 minutes, providing space for reflection, dialogue, and deep listening.

​

Soul Talks are not workshops or therapy sessions, but a space for curiosity, connection, and compassionate exploration. Everyone is welcome, regardless of age, background, or spiritual beliefs.

How It Works
