A FREE community gathering to reflect, connect, and take action

Join Amanda for a 90-minute story circle exploring the many ways people arrive in Georgetown, across states, across countries, and across seasons of life.

We’ll share personal experiences of moving, starting over, and finding a sense of belonging. Some stories may include immigration, while others reflect different kinds of life transitions.

This is not a space for debate or politics, but for listening, connection, and understanding through real lived experiences.

Stay afterward to share a meal and continue connecting in community.

Come as you are. Sharing is always optional.

$5–10 suggested donation will support a local organization dedicated to belonging. Details and a QR code will be shared during the session.
