Often we carry these feelings alone. But when we gather together and speak honestly about what we are holding, something powerful begins to shift.
Our ache becomes fuel for powerful passionate action.
When our action aligns with purpose and passion, we light up!
Living lit up is medicine for a world on fire.
What These Gatherings Are
These small potluck gatherings create a welcoming space to slow down, share a meal, and have meaningful conversations about what we care about most. Together we explore: • What aches in our hearts about the world right now • What currently feels heavy or uncertain • What makes us feel most alive • How our passions and gifts might become meaningful action
When ache is witnessed in community, it often transforms into clarity, courage, and purpose.

Gathering of like minded people, coming together with unique perspective and experience, is what I appreciated most from Kelly's event. When you take the opportunity to witness someone express their passion, it leaves its mark through knowledge and shared experience. It also energetically grows stronger. Kelly's message about transforming the ache into purpose-aligned action resonates deeply and grows stronger in me as I express it with my own unique twist.

If you are in pursuit of your "ache" this is a great place on your journey to stop and get directions. There is no road map to this destination but often life brings us guides along the journey that help us gain perspective and see the rock cairns that will help us find our way. Your "ache" might not be the same as others, in fact it will be your own unique variety once you find it, but with Kelly's help your chances of finding it are exponentially greater.
