No experience is necessary, and the only prerequisite is an interest in stories and other people.
We can't wait to spend some quality time with you.
In 2023, we held the inaugural Get-Together, an attempt to break the mold for conferences/retreats by creating a radically affordable and inclusive event with a focus on connection, community, and fun. We wanted zero pretension or preciousness, and all of the good times. The weekend was an incredible success on every level - new friendships were formed, stories were shared, and treasured memories were created. We were so blown away by the atmosphere our attendees created, we had no choice but to bring this back for 2024.
