Living the WE
“The way you get meaning in your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.” — Mitch Albom

Greetings from the wilderness!
Over the past few years, especially since launching as a digital nomad and traveling solo half the year, I've found myself thinking a lot about the power of friendship and what it looks like to create an intentional community. To gather with people committed to living with greater intention and returning to their True Selves. People who are willing to listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, celebrate one another's joys, and hold space for life's challenges.
Because I've come to believe something that feels both ancient and deeply relevant to the human condition: We were never meant to navigate life alone.
Throughout history, humans have gathered around wells, tables, fires, and gardens—not simply to exchange ideas, but to share the wisdom that emerges through living together. That's the heart behind our Loto Circles.
This spring, after our RENEW retreat in Mexico, a small group of women chose to continue gathering each week online. We intentionally created a place where the conversations, questions, and growth that began on retreat could continue long after everyone returned home. Week after week, we've discovered that healing deepens through belonging, wisdom grows through relationship, and we become more fully ourselves as we learn to walk alongside one another.

One of the things I've loved most is that these women don't all share the same backgrounds, belief systems, professions, or life experiences. Yet they share something even more important: a commitment to living with curiosity, empathy, courage, and intention.
It's been a beautiful reminder that intentional community isn't built on sameness. It's built on the willingness to show up, to listen well, and to allow ourselves to be shaped by relationship. This is what we mean by Living the WE. It's the practice of choosing community over isolation. Curiosity over certainty. Presence over performance.

For now, we're beginning with Sister Circles—online gatherings created specifically for women. As the Loto community continues to grow, I imagine Loto Circles taking many forms, welcoming different communities while holding onto the same values and way of being together.
If you're curious about what that feels like, I'd love to invite you to our next Loto Circles Invitational on July 27. Rather than trying to explain what happens in these gatherings, we're simply opening one and inviting you to join us.
Together we'll move through guided reflection, meaningful conversation, and small-group connection with women from across North America. You'll experience the natural rhythm of a Loto Circle, meet women in our community, and learn about the next four-week Sister Circle beginning the first Monday in August.
If you've ever wished for relationships that go beyond convenience or shared circumstance, you're not alone. I think many of us are quietly longing for a deeper way of belonging.
Whether you arrive knowing no one or are invited by a friend, there is a place for you at the online table. I'd love to welcome you.
With Love,
Jennifer
