True Wealth: Cultivating a Life Rich in Time, Connection & Meaning

A reflective exploration of what it means to be truly wealthy—to possess an abundance of what genuinely nourishes us.

"True wealth is the ability to fully experience life."
— Adapted from Henry David Thoreau

In a world that often equates wealth with financial capital, we are invited to discover a more profound and personal abundance. This gathering is for those curious to explore the currencies of time, attention, well-being, and connection that form the bedrock of a life well-lived.

Come explore what it means to be rich in the ways that matter most. Share from the heart, and leave with a renewed sense of your own true wealth.

Inviting all who are...

🌿 Questioning the conventional definition of "a rich life"
💭 Longing for more abundance in time, energy, or connection
✨ Seeking to align their daily life with their deepest values
🗺️ Feeling the tension between making a living and designing a life
🌅 Interested in cultivating a sense of "enough" and sufficiency

📅 Agenda / What You'll Experience

💬 Icebreaker Conversation Cards

Begin with themed virtual questions cards to spark intimate and reflective exchanges. Below are sample questions:

1. Gentle Exploration:

"What is one non-material thing that made you feel truly 'rich' recently?"
"Describe a moment where you felt a deep sense of 'enough.'"

2. Personal Reflections:

"What does your ‘rich life’ look like, feel like, and sound like? Describe it in vivid detail."
"What is a ‘wealth’ you possess that you couldn’t put a price on? (e.g., a skill, a relationship, a perspective)"
"Where do you currently experience the most scarcity in your life? (e.g., time, quiet, connection) And where do you experience the most abundance?"

3. Growth & Connection:

"How can we cultivate ‘wealth’ in areas of scarcity?"
"What is one small, daily ritual that makes you feel richer?"
"How does the concept of ‘true wealth’ change how you think about your work and time?"

Note: This session may involve virtual question cards accessed via a link or QR code. If you do not have a device (phone/tablet) to access these, please ask a facilitator for assistance; we have spare units available.

💬 Spontaneous Reflective Question (Optional Round)

After warming up, our group will exchange ideas on an intriguing topic chosen spontaneously. We may continue with questions from Round 1 or write new ones. Each participant is encouraged to contribute by sharing a unique question or drawing inspiration from the conversation cards.

💬 Final Thoughts and Feedback

In the final 10 minutes, we’ll reflect on the key insights, memorable moments, and takeaways from our discussions. This is a chance to distill shared wisdom and leave with a deeper understanding of the topic.

After the event officially concludes, we may extend the session for informal conversations, depending on the group’s interest. You’re welcome to leave at any time that feels right for you.
