Did you see The Lion King?

After the young lion cub, Simba, witnessed the death of his father, Mufasa, in a tragic stampede of wildebeests, he ran away from his homeland, burdened by guilt and shame over what he believed he had done. Years later, having spent his youth in exile, Simba was unexpectedly reunited with familiar faces—friends and family who challenged him to return home. Now a young adult aching for his father’s wisdom, Simba looked to the stars and was met by Mufasa’s spirit, who pointed the path home in a single phrase: Remember who you are.

In the jaws of progress—capitalism, politics, dogma, social upheaval—many of us are experiencing the increasing chipping away at the most fundamental parts of our human essence. While we're supposedly connected like never before, deep feelings of separation, loneliness, and isolation hint to a kind of private exile that can sometimes be baffling and difficult to take hold of, much less change. But its weight is real.

​

“Remembering Together” is a gentle, intentional response to that weight. It’s a physical gathering meant to help restore and anchor us emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually to who each of us truly is.

​

This isn’t about remembering the same things or being alike; it’s about holding space for what’s been forgotten—individually, collectively, even culturally.

​

In a world that increasingly pulls us apart, we gather not to fix one another, but to stay grounded, aware, and connected by protecting and holding space for one another along that path.

​

We’re here to remember what we carry, what we’ve lost, what we still hope for— and what we might yet find, or remember, together.
