Some of the most important people in our lives don't live nearby. Maybe a close friend moved away, a relationship spans different cities or countries, or the people who feel most like home are scattered across the world. We want to stay involved in each other's lives, but between time zones, busy schedules, missed calls, and the little moments we can no longer share in person, maintaining closeness can take more effort than we expect. Sometimes, we wonder whether we're growing apart or simply learning how to be in each other's lives differently.

In this session, we'll explore what it means to maintain meaningful relationships across distance. We'll talk about how friendships and romantic relationships change when we can't share everyday life, what helps us feel connected even when we're far apart, and how to navigate the guilt, loneliness, or uncertainty that can arise when staying in touch becomes difficult. Together, we'll reflect on what it means to show up for one another from afar, make space for changing lives, and nurture relationships that remain important to us even when we're no longer part of each other's daily routines.

This session is for you if:

• You have close friends, family members, or a partner who lives far away
• You miss being part of the everyday moments in the lives of people you love
• You struggle to maintain relationships across busy schedules or different time zones
• You worry that distance or less frequent communication means you're growing apart
• You're navigating a move, a life transition, or changes in a relationship that once felt more present
• You want to find meaningful ways to stay connected without feeling like you have to be in constant contact

Distance changes how we show up for one another, but it doesn't have to determine how much we matter to each other. Let's explore how we can keep nurturing the relationships that make us feel at home, wherever life takes us. 💛

Belonging is the space where we ask: Where do I fit in the world, and where do I fit within myself?

It’s about identity, home, community, and the quiet ache of wanting to be understood. In this space, we explore the places where we feel connected, the moments where we feel othered, and the relationships that shape our sense of self.

This is a space for the in-between places where belonging changes, breaks, rebuilds, or surprises us.

How Does it Work?
This is an open, guided discussion led by your Keeper, Jesse. Each participant will have the opportunity to listen to and share experiences on belonging, identity, community, and whatever else comes up during the session.

When and How Do We Meet?
We meet digitally every couple of weeks to make participation easy for those with demanding schedules. Cameras are optional, and you’re welcome to join from wherever you are, even between shifts. We only ask that you find a private place to join or use headphones to help maintain the security of everyone present.
