No one can want deeper connection more than you. The spaces can exist, and the people are there but the depth comes from how you show up. If your intentions are thoughtful and responsible, you will be open to unforced experiences.

If this hits, I unpacked it more in my latest newsletter

Because of the time we spend collaborating with other intentional communities, we developed an amazing partnership and friendship with Garage! Many of our members collaborate with their members and mentors and vice versa. Fiorenzo and Barco had the honor of sharing a workshop focused on developing a warm introduction and connecting with C.A.R.E! This one is a MUST for any industries and organizations who are out in their communities striving to develop lasting and trusting relationships with others and desire to network different in order to do so!

We highly recommend you check out their website: https://www.startupgarage.org/ to learn more. Let us know if a workshop like this would benefit your industry or organization too!

Last week some of our Holland/Zeeland Members met up together at Lake Brewing for St. Patrick's day! Some of us connected with those around the table for the first, and others reconnected!

Our time together is always valued and intentional. Today we learned about random projects or questions we sometimes get about our services or products, and what we have learned from them that have helped us grow.

Discussing these areas naturally provided us new ideas and sparked new conversations about ways to share about others, even when we aren't in the same rooms together.

Non-traditional, relationship-focused networking makes our impact in our communities so much greater. The time we spend together like this, shows us more about one another and allows us to spend time expanding on what we learn. That's how we refer to one another with clarity and quality.
