When Friends Become Family: Unpacking the quiet transition
About Perspectives
In a world of fast replies and fleeting interactions, we’re creating a safe space for meaningful conversations with curious individuals.
About the Circle
Not all family is by blood- some are found and built over time.
This Saturday, we’re coming together to explore how friendships evolve into chosen families- the people who show up, stay, and shape us.
We’ll explore:
– What makes certain friendships feel like family?
– How is support different in chosen vs. biological families?
– What are the joys, boundaries, and lessons of chosen families?
What to Expect
– A warm, welcoming space
– Guided dialogue with thoughtful people
– Honest stories about connection and belonging
– Great snacks and drinks — included
Who’s it for?
– You, if you’ve lived far from your family
– You, if your support system is made up of friends
– You, if you’re reflecting on what “family” means today
