The Format
What Is a Connection Circle?

A Connection Circle is a structured, facilitated gathering of 8–15 people. It's not therapy. It's not a support group. It's a 90-minute experience where strangers become genuinely known to each other through real conversation and shared activity.

Each Circle focuses on one of the 5 Pillars of Connection Health — so you're not just meeting people, you're building something real.

You'll be welcomed into a warm, low-pressure environment. A facilitator keeps things grounded. You participate at whatever level feels right for you. We've designed every moment with your comfort in mind.

1
Welcome & Warm-Up (~15 min) A gentle, low-stakes opening. No introduction speeches. Just ease in.
2
Pillar Activity (~45 min) A guided activity themed around the Circle's pillar. Structured, purposeful, and actually fun.
3
Open Connection Time (~20 min) Unstructured time to talk to whoever you connected with. No agenda. Just people.
4
Brief Closing Reflection (~10 min) A simple, optional closing to ground the experience and set intentions.
We Get It
It's Okay to Feel Nervous About This

Walking into a room of strangers is hard. We didn't design events for people who find socializing easy — we designed them for people who find it hard but want it anyway.

You might be thinking…
"What if I don't click with anyone?"
Connection isn't on you to force. That's what the structure is for. The format does the heavy lifting — you just have to show up.
You might be thinking…
"I'm bad at talking to strangers."
Most people there are saying the same thing. You're all in the same boat — that's actually what makes it easier than you think.
You might be thinking…
"What if it's awkward?"
Some moments will be. That's okay. Awkward is honest, and honesty is where real connection starts. We normalize that from the first minute.
You might be thinking…
"I'll just wait until I feel ready."
That feeling might never arrive on its own. Readiness is built through action, not waiting. This is one small, safe step. That's it.

What to Expect at Your First Circle
👋

A warm welcome

You'll be greeted when you arrive. You're not walking in cold.

🪑

A circle of chairs

No stages. No fronts of rooms. Just people sitting together.

🧭

A facilitator leading

You never have to figure out what to do next. Someone has it handled.

🗣️

Guided prompts

You won't be staring blankly. Conversation has a framework.

🚪

Zero pressure

Share what you want. Stay quiet when you need. Both are fine.

🌱

Something that surprises you

Most people leave thinking "that was easier than I expected."

Can't Make It In Person?

We're building out virtual Connection Circles for crew members who aren't local to Longmont yet — or who want to ease in with an online experience first before attending in person. It's a legitimate step, not a lesser one.
