SO FAR
A few small meetups and a handful of people who kept coming back.
— THAT'S THE HONEST HEADCOUNT
— STANDING ON THE PORCH
LETS GET BETTER AT BEING TOGETHER.
Some of your people are already in your life. Others, you haven't met yet.
Chosen Family is about both — helping people build stronger, more meaningful connections with the people they already know, while creating space for new ones to begin.
Because belonging isn't about how many people you have. It's about how connected you feel to them.
READ THE LETTER— HOW RELATIONSHIPS ACTUALLY GET BUILT
FOUR WAYS
people get close.
01
CONNECT
Meet your people.
Rooms small enough that nobody disappears in them. You'll leave knowing names, not just faces.
02
GROW
Get better at people.
Communication, boundaries, keeping friends as an adult — taught by folks who actually lived it.
03
SERVE
Build it shoulder to shoulder.
Nothing bonds people like working on something together. Turns out that's the shortcut.
04
CELEBRATE
Have somewhere to bring the news.
The promotion, the baby, the hard year that finally ended. Good news is better with witnesses.
— THE ROOMS
FIND YOUR ROOM.
Every room sounds different. Walk into whichever one sounds like you tonight.
— GATHER
THE LIVING ROOM
Come as you are, find a seat.
Conversations, member stories, and the people who notice when you go quiet.
— FEED
THE KITCHEN
Something's always on the stove.
What we're building next — upcoming workshop topics and everything still simmering.
— GROW
THE STUDY
Connection is a skill.
EL-EX, conversation guides, communication tools, and resources for becoming better at people.
— WEAR IT
THE CLOSET
It looks better on.
Heavyweight cotton, gold thread, a name people ask about at the coffee shop.
— BUILD
THE FOUNDATION
Every home needs one.
What you give keeps the lights on and a chair open for somebody who couldn't cover it.
"We're new. A few small meetups, a group chat that stays warm, and the first EL-EX workshops being built right now. You'd be early — that's the good part."

Doors open anyway.
We'd rather tell you the truth than act like we've been here for years.
RIGHT NOW
The first EL-EX cycle is being written, topic by topic.
— YOU CAN SHAPE WHAT'S IN IT
WHAT'S NEXT
Raising the start-up money it takes to run this right.
— EVERY DOLLAR SHOWS UP ON THE CALENDAR
— GET INVOLVED
MAKE ROOM
FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
A dollar, an hour, an introduction — it all becomes the same thing. One more chair. One more person who logs off lighter than they logged on.
