Gatherings Matter

I often hear people sharing about how they do not know where to start when it comes to making new friends or meeting new people. People feel fatigued by the lack of deep connection available in large group settings. It can be lonely and disconnecting when seeing people through the lens of social media. It's easy to see friends and not discuss topics to get to know them in a new way.

I am excited to create a space where strangers and friends alike can gather, to experience connecting with others in meaningful ways. Together we can create a temporary moment in time where we each are seen and heard. Where we can learn from each other and leave feeling nourished by our shared human experience no matter our ages or walks of life. - Meg founder of Ritual Abode

What to expect

Ritual Abode hosts monthly intimate gatherings for women in San Luis Obispo, California. Each gathering brings women together around a thoughtfully prepared meal and guided conversation, creating space for meaningful connection.

Each event welcomes up to nine women and femme-identifying guests and is centered around a thoughtfully chosen discussion topic. These conversations are designed to invite vulnerability, curiosity, and honest reflection, offering a space to share experiences, listen deeply, and leave feeling nourished by the connections created around the table.

Guests are invited to arrive with a willingness to participate and an openness to hearing one another's stories. Gather around a beautifully set table, enjoy a meal prepared by a private chef, and spend an evening cultivating conversation, community, and connection.

If you're tired of small talk, long for deeper connection, or are looking to meet new people in San Luis Obispo, these evenings are for you.
