What we’re about
Are you interested in understanding yourself more fully? Does learning in a supportive community more about who you are sound intriguing? If so, we think you'll feel at home as a member of this group.
We began as a multigenerational team of diverse friends brought together by our shared experiences with the Personal Creed Project, a journey of self-discovery originally developed in the classroom. Now we share and celebrate with new friends here on Meetup what we've learned about the rewards of increasing self-knowledge. We welcome you to share and grow with us!
The Personal Creed Project guides us to uncover who and what have shaped us and what we value. Beginning with an extended series of written reflections and conversations, the project culminates in a vibrant community celebration of our individual and collective self-knowledge. Participants of all ages find themselves transformed as they discover their values and explore how they wish to live them. Our group's events highlight various aspects of the Personal Creed experience.
If becoming more keenly aware of yourself and others intrigues you, we invite you to participate in our Meetup events. There's our monthly Personal Creed Community Day when members familiar with the Personal Creed experience meet and share with new friends here on Meetup.
There's our weekly Tuesday Conversation Salon, with conversations about various angles on self-discovery, including the ever changing experience of Rumi Roulette (3rd Tuesday) and the PCO Talent Share (last Tues).
And there's our fall-winter and spring-summer Personal Creed Cohorts, when participants go through the entire Personal Creed journey of reflections and presentation with caring support in a small team.
Our online, in-person and hybrid events center on conversations that help us find ourselves as individuals, explore our identities in community, and support each other in living the values we discover.
