About this event

Some gatherings are built around a stage. This one is built around presence. Sit Around The Fire: w/ Superbloom and Ram Dass invites you into an evening in Santa Monica designed for real connection, reflection, and conversation with people who want something deeper than small talk. This is the kind of event you come to when you want to slow down without checking out, meet others without the pressure of a typical networking night, and spend time in a space that feels intentional from the start. If you’re drawn to community, inner work, and thoughtful social experiences, this evening will likely feel like the right room. About the Event At its core, this is an in-person community gathering shaped around the spirit of sitting together, listening closely, and making space for meaningful exchange. The title points to something simple but powerful: a shared circle, a grounded atmosphere, and an opportunity to be with others in a way that is present rather than performative. With Superbloom and Ram Dass as part of the event’s framing, the night carries a clear intention toward reflection, connection, and the kinds of conversations that can shift how you feel when you leave. Rather than focusing on speed, status, or surface-level introductions, the format suggests a more human pace where people can settle in and engage with what matters. Expect a social environment that is welcoming to both people who already feel at home in community spaces and those who are simply curious about what a more mindful gathering can look like. You do not need to arrive with a polished goal or a perfect introduction. Showing up as you are is part of the point. Because this is happening in person in Santa Monica, the evening also offers something increasingly rare: a chance to step away from screens and experience connection in real time, with all the warmth and nuance that only a physical gathering can provide. What to Expect You can expect the evening to unfold with a balance of structure and openness. There is a clear container here, but not one that feels rigid. The experience is likely to center on bringing people together in a way that encourages attention, ease, and honest interaction. A typical flow for a gathering like this may include: A warm arrival period where guests settle in, get oriented, and begin meeting others naturally A shared opening or facilitated moment that sets the tone for the evening and helps everyone land in the space Conversation, reflection, or community-centered exchange that goes beyond standard networking Time to connect informally with other attendees after the main experience The emphasis is less on consuming content and more on participating in a shared atmosphere. That could mean listening deeply, speaking with intention, or simply allowing yourself to be part of the room without needing to force anything. Because the event is tagged across community, networking, meetup, and social, you can also expect a mix of people and motivations. Some attendees may come for inspiration, some for new relationships, and others for the chance to be in a room that feels calmer and more genuine than the usual social circuit. The format makes room for all of that. Why Attend There are plenty of ways to fill a Tuesday night. This one offers something specific: the chance to spend your time in a setting that values depth, attention, and shared humanity. If you’ve been craving more meaningful in-person experiences, this is a strong reason to get out the door. You may leave with new connections, but not the transactional kind that fade by morning. The value here is in meeting people through a more grounded context, where conversations have a better chance of becoming memorable, honest, and lasting. You might also leave with a different internal pace. Events built around reflection and presence can create a noticeable shift: less mental noise, more clarity, and a stronger sense of being connected to something beyond your to-do list. That alone can make the evening worthwhile. More specifically, attending can offer: A real sense of community in a city where that can be hard to find A more intentional alternative to typical social or professional meetups Space for reflection without needing to retreat from other people Conversations that feel substantial, not rushed or overly curated A welcoming entry point if you’re exploring more mindful or heart-centered spaces Practical Details This event takes place in person in Santa Monica, USA, which means you should plan for an on-site, face-to-face experience rather than a virtual session. Being physically present is part of the value, so it’s worth giving yourself enough time to arrive without rushing. The gathering starts on Tuesday, August 20 at 7:00 PM PDT. Evening timing makes it well suited for people looking to transition out of the workday and into a more thoughtful social setting. If you can, arrive with a little margin so you can settle in and be fully there from the beginning. A few practical ways to prepare: Come ready for conversation, not just observation Wear something comfortable that fits a relaxed but intentional evening Give yourself time before and after rather than stacking the night too tightly Be open to meeting new people across community, social, and networking contexts Most importantly, bring a willingness to be present. You do not need to know everyone, know exactly what to say, or have prior experience with events like this. If the idea of sitting in a thoughtful room with open, curious people sounds appealing, that is probably all the preparation you need.
