2/25 Workshop: How to Build Community in a Disconnected World
Building IRL community shouldn't be this hard—but the old social infrastructure has disappeared, technology has replaced depth with distraction, and we're left with fewer organic ways to connect.In this 90-minute interactive workshop, you'll learn why building genuine community feels so difficult right now, discover the research-proven conditions that create real connection, and practice techniques that move you past surface-level interactions to deeper community. You'll leave with new connections, practical tools, and a personalized action plan for finding your people.Join us on Tuesday, November 3, 1pm - 2:30 pm CST
You are ready to build your IRL community.
Maybe you just moved to a new city and are looking for your people. Or you work remotely and wish you had people to actually meet up with in person.Maybe you've gone through a major life transition—a career change, becoming a parent, evolving into a different version of yourself—and your old friendships don't quite fit anymore.Or maybe you've been focused on work for too long, and you know there's got to be more to life than bad news and scrolling on Instagram.Whatever brought you here, you want the same thing: to feel more belonging, joy, and friendship in your day-to-day life. You want friends you can actually call on, genuine connections that leave you feeling seen, and to be part of a local community where you're making a meaningful contribution.
But where do you start?
Finding your people shouldn't be this hard.
Where do you go to build your community? How do you find your people when putting yourself out there feels exhausting and awkward and everyone seems so busy?Maybe you've tried:
Joining local groups, churches, or boards hoping to meet cool people —yet everyone already has their friends or seems too busy for new connections
Networking happy hours where conversations stall out at "So what do you do for a living?"
Meeting someone great but with different schedules, it takes months to see each other, keeping you stuck in the endless "let's catch up" cycle
Friendship apps only to feel icky about swiping on potential friends and watching conversations fizzle after three messages
You keep meeting perfectly lovely people, but somehow you're still stuck behind this invisible "acquaintance wall"—and never quite break through to that feeling of really being a part of your community.
No, it's not just you. Building community is getting harder and harder.
But here's the good news: There's a science to how you can meaningfully and intentionally growing your community—and you can learn it.
