Some news and a small favor.

Hi there,

I’ve been reaching out to some of you individually to explore Waking Youth’s next steps. One recurring theme that has surfaced is the feeling of disconnection. While many of us lead busy, exciting lives in international cities around the world, apparently, a common experience is the lack of moments of deep introspection and collective reflection.

Maybe that’s not the case for you—hopefully not! It certainly is mine, at times. So, I’ve decided to test out something new: a monthly online hangout. I know, I know—yet another community event. I promise I’ll do my best to ensure this one doesn’t just end up as useless spam in your inbox.

Here's the plan: Each month, I’ll throw out a theme, related (or not) to the podcast episodes or newsletters. The overall focus, as usual, will be on exploring how we might live into adult maturity more wisely. The idea is to just get the ball rolling and discover what emerges between us.

To keep things intimate, I’m capping it at ten participants per session, and no recordings allowed.

For this first prototype, the meet-up will be on Saturday, September 9th, at 5 pm Madrid Time (CEST). The theme, aligned with the latest newsletter, will be “Sitting with Privilege“.

If you'd like to join in this time, simply reply to this email. And if this date doesn’t work for you but you’re interested down the road, just drop a note in the comments section or hit reply to this email.

I’ll test different days and times. Just to get a general sense, let me know, if you’re interested, what would work best for you from the options below: (Here’s a time converter, in case you need one)

Let’s see where this goes!

Warmly,
Carlota
