All gatherings are free to attend (though, we may ask you to buy a coffee/meal to support our host).

A Grateful Hour

 | 

A sample of what's to come.

Gratitude is a muscle that can be strengthened with practice... so let's practice! This is a sampler of what's to come over the next 30-days.

Journal & Coffee

 | 

Write down the good stuff.

We'll start with 20min of silent journaling followed by optional partner convos.

Grateful Meal

 | 

Enjoy every bite of a tasty meal.

Practice noticing the color, textures, aromas, and flavors of the foods you love to eat (at local restaurants.)

C.B.A.D.

 | 

Turn anxiety into gratitude.

CBAD stands for Could've Been A Disaster! We'll take a break from worrying to celebrate the disasters that could have happened... but never did!

Nature Walk

 | 

Practice gratitude outdoors.

A weekly gratefulness walk in the woods. A 40 minute walk followed by 10-20 minutes of simple sharing.

Grateful Sunrise/Sunset

 | 

Find gratitude in every moment.

An hour of noticing just how awe-inspiring the sun is. Conversation optional.

Grateful Lens

 | 

Notice details you might otherwise miss

Use your phone (yup!) to become more mindful and aware of the subtle details and hidden beauty in the world around you.

Friendsgiving Potluck

 | 

Celebrate 30-days of gratefulness.

Let's enjoy a tasty meal with all of our new grateful friends. Please bring something to share.

Campfire TED Talk

 | 

Consider the unique opportunity of being alive today.

We live in a world full of "stuff" that did not exist 200 years ago. Cameras, genres of music, social media, psychology, discoveries, etc. The question is, what will YOU create now that they are here?

To-Celebrate List

 | 

Turn "to-do" into "to-celebrate."

Bring your to-do lists and we'll celebrate the little things and lovely people that make up your day-to-day.

Body Scan

 | 

Appreciate your body.

Our bodies do everything for us. Breath, blink, digest, and heal without our asking. Let's take time to notice.

Give Thanks

 | 

Turn gratefulness into thankfulness.

Let's say thanks. During this hour you'll have a chance to pick up the phone, write a text, write an email, etc. to say "thank you" to someone. Could be an author, family member, friend, business owner, teacher, etc.

FAQs

Who are the teachers?

We curate teachings from scientists, artists, monks, poets, podcasters, and lots of other folks too.

We have access to so much human wisdom though books and the internet. We don't need to gather around a particular guru or expert. Instead, we curate content from the wisest and hardest-working people in the world. And use our precious shared time together to reflect and practice together in community.

And then we have trained facilitators who lead as well as participate in gatherings.

Why did you start More Neighborly?

We believe that neighborliness is a skill. We want to practice, and practicing with friends is more fun.

We want more neighborly spaces without ulterior motives. No gotchas, bait and switch, or business plans. Just regular folks getting together to practice and learn with one another.
