What does it really mean to belong together?

In this final episode of the Belonging Series, Lisa explores how authentic connection is cultivated — not by performance or perfection, but through presence, protection, and purpose.

Drawing inspiration from Priya Parker’s The Art of Gathering, the No Kings Gathering, and the Mighty Women community she co-created, Lisa reflects on how intentional spaces invite authenticity and co-regulation. She also shares her yearly pilgrimage to Red Rocks to see the Avett Brothers — where strangers become friends and joy becomes collective.

Through these stories, we’re reminded that belonging isn’t something we find — it’s something we create, one grounded, compassionate presence at a time.

✨ Topics include:

• The nervous system and co-regulation in belonging
• Midlife friendship and self-protection patterns
• How we gather with purpose and equality
• Joy, music, and effervescent connection
• Belonging as collective care

💛 Reflection Prompt:
Where in your life are you cultivating the kind of belonging that feels mutual, nourishing, and alive?
