Friends for Good in partnership with Wordplay, is excited to launch The Gathering Circle: an in-person series running Sunday afternoons in March. We believe there is something sacred about being in the same room, sharing the same space, and looking each other in the eye. Our afternoons begin with all-age games and laughter, followed by specialized tracks including a kids’ discovery group, a youth rites of passage class, and an open parent discussion circle.

This is a space where spirituality belongs to everyone. Whether you are rooted in a specific faith tradition or find your “church” in nature and community, you are welcome here. Together, we will explore the big questions of life across generations, building friendships that bridge the gap between our different ages and beliefs.

While your children are playing and growing, you are invited to sit back and share what’s on your mind. We will use the book, Everyday Blessings: The Inner Work of Mindful Parenting by Myla Kabat-Zinn and Jon Kabat-Zinn. You do not need to read the book to participate. We will simply use the topics in the book as a guide for our discussion.

Want More Community?
If you would like more times to gather, consider joining us for monthly dinners and hikes! The entire family is invited to dinner on Fridays from 6:30pm-8pm on February 27, March 27th, and April 24th. We will sing a song or two, learn and engage in a brief spiritual ritual (a prayer, breaking of bread, etc…), then eat, chat, and play.

Family hikes will be on Saturdays at 10 a.m. on March 7, April 4, and May 2nd. We will meet at the entrance to Everybody’s Tree House in Mt. Airy Forest and hike for about 30-45 minutes. Seasoned hikers are welcome to go further. And if you want to stay outside longer, there is a nearby playground to enjoy.

You’re invited to a day of walking, reflecting, and imagining what’s possible.

We’ll gather in Cincinnati to honor Walter Brueggemann—not just with words, but by living into the kind of disruptive hope he spent a lifetime teaching.

We’ll start at Clifton United Methodist Church. From there, you’ll head out on a self-guided Walkabout through the Clifton neighborhood. Walter’s voice will guide the journey, provoking reflection and reconnecting you with the central ideas in The Prophetic Imagination.

After the Walkabout, we’ll come back together for a Talkabout—an open, facilitated conversation in small and large groups. Expect a mix of storytelling, honest grappling, and shared insight. We’ll conclude with a participatory ritual of remembrance. It won’t be a formal service or static tribute. It’ll be a living act of community—music, reflection, and creative expression that puts Walter’s legacy into motion, together.

At the heart of it all is this guiding quote:

“The prophets dared us to reenact their poetry in our community. They do not give us explanations; they give us provocations. They disrupt despair and denial by insisting there is an alternative world being spoken into being.”

— Walter Brueggemann

This day is an invitation to dare, to imagine, and to embody that alternative world.

Come join Friends for Peace at Center for Spiritual Living of Greater Cincinnati for EquaSion’s monthly Sacred Friendship event.

We invite you and your family to join us!

Why? To cultivate new friendships and grow current friendships.

How? Through this interactive, intergenerational experience, which will include:

  3. Fun activities for the entire family
