About this event
- Paid venue parking
Take a break from the virtual world and reconnect, with yourself, with nature, and with others. Unwired Circle is a grounding experience where we unplug from devices, quiet the mind, and open the heart through meditation, positive group affirmations, and free-form expression in a supportive circle.
How It Works
• Grounding Arrival – We begin with a short welcome and unplug from all devices.
• Group Meditation – A calming guided session to release stress, fear, and overthinking.
• Affirmation Circle – Together, we repeat short, uplifting phrases that center and inspire.
• Open Expression Circle – Anyone who feels called can step into the center to share a thought or simply be witnessed.
• Conversation Cards – Lighthearted, thoughtful prompts to spark friendly conversations.
• Closing Reflection – We gather one final time to share quiet reflections, gratitude, or intentions.
No Screens, no pressure, no judgment—just presence, community, and positive energy.

• A 90-minute guided social experience in a peaceful, welcoming space
