November 19, 2025: The Monthly Joy Connective Spiritual Gathering

Hosted at ModernWell Minneapolis

Let’s talk about Love!

We are going to have a bit of fun and games at this Gathering. How about a Reflection Fishbowl and Joy Mail? Our topic questions will be light and thoughtful. How do we receive kind words and compliments, do we speak to ourselves kindly and lovingly, has our love for ourselves grown as our spirituality has grown?  

In Spiritual/Religious traditions Love is seen as the fundamental force of creation, the Divine essence and unifying principle of all existence. This month we start a 3-Part series on Love.

Part-1: Self-Love (The Inner Journey), honoring ourselves as beloved creations of The Divine. 

Please join us for the third monthly gathering of The Joy Connective, an in-person spiritual community for the women of the Twin Cities.
