GROUPS FORMING NOW
Let’s Connect. Heal. Grow. Thrive. Together!
The Power Of Us
We believe in the extraordinary value of
shared experience and mutual support.
Rise Above Circles brings together people who have something significant in common.
This instantly unites the participants and creates an environment of mutual support and understanding.
Being in a group of fellow progressives provides you with a confidential haven to truly be heard and understood.
Here, you can express yourself freely, forge social connections, receive valuable insights and resources, find healing and strength, and discover how to thrive.
We intentionally keep the gathering small to foster comfort, intimacy, and bonding among members.
Your Sanctuary Awaits
It’s a safe refuge to share your truth
without any reservation or fear.
If you yearn for a place to feel truly seen, heard, and valued by kindred spirits, a Rise Above Circle is a judgment-free haven to talk freely about everything on your mind—from the intricacies of life, family, and work to the complexities of politics, purpose, and the world around us.
In this sacred space, the chaotic noise on the outside fades away. It is a rare opportunity to let down your guard, breathe freely, and gain a much-needed reprieve from daily pressures.
Here, vulnerability is welcomed and your experiences matter. By sharing this sheltered time with peers, you’ll find that the burdens of life feel lighter and the path forward becomes clearer, leaving you refreshed and ready to thrive.
You belong with your kind of people. Come as you are.
Circle Format
Experience uninterrupted expression
inside a secure environment.
Every two weeks for 90 minutes, you’ll join a group of five other liberal adults on Zoom. There are eight meetings total, and all you need is an internet-enabled laptop, PC, tablet, or cell phone to attend.
During each gathering, time is shared equally, allowing you to speak freely while others give their full presence and empathy without interruption.
Feedback is offered only if you ask for it.
It’s a stigma-free space that, while not group therapy, is lightly facilitated by a mental health professional to keep the structure supportive and secure.
Choose Your Allies
Select the Circle where you’ll feel
most aligned and comfortable.
Your journey is unique, but you don’t have to walk it alone. We’ve curated these specialized circles to ensure you are surrounded by peers with whom you share common ground.

After the initial eight gatherings, your Circle can continue indefinitely if at least 4 of the 6 members wish to remain together.
