Upcoming Gatherings
Event Description
Come hungry! We'll practice mindful eating for 5-minutes, savoring each bite, and then chatting with friends.
Research suggests that mindful eating helps people savor food more, eat satisfying amounts, and develop a healthier relationship with eating - not through rules or restrictions, but through presence and awareness.
Event Description
"Every conversation has the potential to open up and reveal all the layers and layers within it, all those rooms within rooms," says podcaster and musician Hrishikesh Hirway. In this profoundly moving talk, he offers a guide to deep conversations and explores what you learn when you stop to listen closely. Stay tuned to the end to hear a performance of his original song "Between There and Here (feat. Yo-Yo Ma)."
Event Description
If you enjoy new year's resolutions this is the event for you! We'll meet during the last 2nd Sundays Market of the year to watch a 3 minute TED talk about 30-day challenges and brainstorm personal challenge ideas to kick off the new year.
Invite a friend and hold each other accountable. We'll meet two more times in January to check-in, support one another, and to celebrate all the good stuff we have going on.
The two gatherings in January are show-and-tell style events to socialize and share progress.
Event Description
During this event you'll have a chance to pick up the phone, write a text, email, or letter to say "thank you" to someone. Could be a friend, an author, a family member, teacher, who ever.
Research shows that when we express specific gratitude by acknowledging what someone did, the effort behind their actions, and how it meaningfully impacted us— we create powerful upward spirals of connection and trust.
Event Description
There will be printed instructions for you to work at your own pace. The instructions will be shared via email prior to the event as well.
If you want your coffee first thing, please arrive 10-15min early to place your order.
Research suggests that consciously giving thanks for the good things in our lives can have profound effects on our well-being and relationships. Consider that you could have every good fortune, gift, and blessing, and, if you fail to notice them, won't even know they are there! So, let's put some time on the calendar to write down the good stuff happening in our lives.

FAQs
Who are the teachers?
We curate teachings from scientists, artists, monks, poets, podcasters, and lots of other folks too.
We have access to so much human wisdom though books and the internet. We don't need to gather around a particular guru or expert. Instead, we curate content from the wisest and hardest-working people in the world. And use our precious shared time together to reflect and practice together in community.
And then we have trained facilitators who lead as well as participate in gatherings.
Why did you start More Neighborly?
We believe that neighborliness is a skill. We want to practice, and practicing with friends is more fun.
We want more neighborly spaces without ulterior motives. No gotchas, bait and switch, or business plans. Just regular folks getting together to practice and learn with one another.
