Connection Collective
Stewards of Connection at True Nature
The Connection Collective is an intentional community of supporters rooted in the belief that connection is medicine.
A third space for belonging
At a time when many people move between home and work with little space for deeper belonging, the Connection Collective offers a third space — a welcoming community grounded in meaningful relationships, care for one another, and a commitment to living with intention.
Rooted in the unique spaces of True Nature, including the Kiva, the Peace Garden, and the wider campus, it is a place for vibrant connection, shared exploration, and the joy of shaping community together.
A welcoming community
This is a welcoming community for people who feel called to help nurture sacred connection in their own lives and in the world around them.
The Collective is a collaborative space that brings people together around shared purpose, meaningful participation, and a spirit of generosity that helps sustain the Foundation’s broader mission.
How we come together
Through seasonal gatherings, shared experiences, and creative collaboration, members come together to explore what it means to live in connection — with ourselves, one another, and the natural world. Members gather throughout the year to cultivate friendships, share ideas, celebrate the rhythms of nature, and spark inspiration through conversation, creativity, and play.
The heart of the Collective is shared participation, care, and the joy of shaping community together.
