Our Just Cause

We imagine a world where everyone feels meaningfully connected.

Our Team

Terreal Brown

As a suicide survivor and social work student, the epidemic of loneliness is a heartbreaking call to action for Terreal. Weavers Circle was founded to host and inspire meaningful gatherings that encourage belonging.

Courtney Reece

As the heart of Weavers Circle, Courtney is the tiny sliver on the Venn diagram where a decade of data analytics meets a masters in macro social work and a passion for facilitation.

Patrick Best

Stools can’t stand without a third leg. Patrick brings reassuring balance with various technical skills, product development and management experience. The well-timed puns are a bonus.

Our Why

To play with stories so that we build community.

Our Core Values

Curiosity

"a strong desire to know or learn"

We believe curiosity is the compass that leads to a fulfilling life. One way we exercise our curiosity is exploring stories. We put curiosity into action through our Visionary Fiction Book Club.

Compassion

"working together to alleviate distress"

We believe in ending the “epidemic of loneliness”. We gather to share stories that highlight our collective humanity. We put compassion into practice during Uniquely Common.

Courage

"feeling empowered to face one's fears"

We believe courage is a team sport. This is why our events are designed to promote expressing oneself and active listening. Through our group agreements we hope to foster brave spaces.

Our Group Agreements

One Diva, One Mic

Only one person speaking at a time.

Practice Curiosity

Listen respectfully to others' ideas and as questions so that critiques have context.

Take Space, Make Space

We want everyone to share their wisdom. Let's ensure everyone has the opportunity.

The Story I'm Telling Myself

Create an opportunity for reinterpretation & differing points of view.

Stories Stay, Lessons Leave

We encourage sharing anecdotes & stories. However, personal details stay in the room.

Lean Into Discomfort

We all have blind spots. Learning is often on the other side of momentary discomfort.
