Seeking community care and a place to explore positive change?
It is with great excitement that we introduce to you our first Start the Wave Online Community Circle! 

This is the first of 7 gatherings where we will centre ourselves in the values and topics we care about, support and inspire each other to continue working towards a more loving future for all from our respective corners of the world, whilst raising money for projects creating much needed change worldwide!

Based on our 1st STW Pillar LOVE & KINDNESS, this opening 1.5 hour session will help us to unpack what Love & Kindness means in today’s world. 

What you can expect:

• Intentional tone setting for a brave and kind session.
• Engaging discussion around a passage of text (sent out before the session).
• Reflecting on our own relationship to Love & Kindness and what it means to us.
• Facilitated breakout rooms to dive deep and help people find their voice.
• Community brainstorming, connection and care. 
• Coming together to inspire action!

We’ll be holding our event on Sunday June 28th 2026 at 1pm EST/6pm BST/10am PST, so please keep the date free and join us if you’re able! 

Please note this workshop will be held in English and will be the first of a series of 7. 

Our hope is that you feel called to join for the full journey!
