Testimonials:

“I loved the intentionality of The Gathering Lab. My favorite part was fostering real connections. I felt very bonded to the people around me, and the time flew by it was so fun.”

“I truly enjoyed the evening! Not knowing what people do for a living and guided questions really made for deep connections. I would love to follow up with the people I met to share more. Especially on the levels we connected with. We had such organic connections by way of “no labels” introductions, that now that I know they them, I’d like to know them more.”

“This was SUCH a beautiful, amazing, necessary moment. I really  look forward to “kicking it” with these folks again soon for a deeper connection. It felt like family.”

“I didn’t think about my phone, my kids, my outside obligations for the entire time. I loved the opportunity to get out of my typical network to meaningfully connect with amazing people who shared a similar intent.”

“The Gathering Lab made me feel seen and heard and connected me with people I never thought I’d connect with.”

“There was an atmosphere of safety, care, and presence that I didn’t fully process until I left. No one took out their phone, posted anything the entire evening. I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed that, and just want more of it.”

“This was such a good experience – it flew by and left me wanting more. I walked in not knowing anyone, and at the end, I felt like I would definitely want to see these people again – I felt a sense of unity.”

“I left feeling energized and good about myself…like I had done something good for my brain and met some great people at the same time.”
