A network of conversations grounded in identifying abundance in us all. At the heart of these dialogues, two people are meeting, in a distilled moment, and process, with gratitude. Showing up for the journey to receive and give showing up for reciprocity knowledge that we do not always emphasize in Western cultures but need to in order to fully divulge and embrace the complicated nature of self. It is in these rituals of nourishing the spirit that we can also prioritize community, compassion, and responsibility. The Unfolding is a gift to embrace wholeness, together.
