Why Meaningful Connections Matter
Strong social connections aren't just nice to have. They're essential for our wellbeing. Research shows that meaningful relationships boost mental health, increase longevity, and make life more fulfilling. ​
​
-
Strong social connections can boost your immune system by up to 50% and reduce stress hormones
-
Having just 3-5 close friends can increase happiness levels as much as doubling your income
-
Weekly shared experiences, like meals or group activities, trigger oxytocin, the “bonding hormone”, and make friendships stick
Yet, as adults, we rarely have the structure to form real friendships. That's exactly why Community Circles exist: to give you the space, support, and consistency to build the kind of friendships that change your life.
Beyond Apps & Work Friends
Community Circles is a 6-week guided program designed to help you build meaningful connections through shared experiences and structured support. Instead of awkward small talk or hoping plans will happen, you'll be thoughtfully matched with 4-6 like-minded individuals who will collaboratively plan weekly activities using our proven framework.
​
Unlike traditional social groups where one person bears all the planning responsibility, everyone in your circle will have a role to play (like Event Coordinator, Circle Lead, or Social Connector) to keep things balanced, intentional, and fun.
This is not just about meeting people. It’s about building real relationships that last.
What Awaits You in Community Circles
REAL CONVERSATIONS, REAL CONNECTIONS
A SIMPLE FRAMEWORK + ONGOING SUPPORT
Engage in guided discussions and engaging prompts that encourage sharing, listening, and connecting, without the pressure of forced networking or awkward silences.
No more wondering, “What should we do?” Each group gets a clear, easy-to-follow structure, plus exclusive tools and guidance to help you navigate and deepen connections.
CONNECTIONS BEYOND THE PROGRAM
Your relationships don't end when the program does. Stay connected through exclusive alumni networks and ongoing events, so your friendships keep growing.
SUPPORTIVE, CONSISTENT GROUP
Meeting with the same small group each time builds trust, inside jokes, and real friendships. It’s not just about meeting people — it’s about keeping them in your life.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Our application is based on research in social psychology and group dynamics. We match you on:
​​
-
Values & connection goals (the foundation of trust)
-
Interests & shared life stage (natural conversation starters)
-
Availability & communication style (because consistency builds closeness)
The result? Friendship chemistry that actually works.
​

Is Community Circles Right for You?
If you find yourself nodding along to these points, Community Circles is designed for you:
01
YOU CRAVE DEEPER CONNECTION
Looking for more than casual small talk, you want meaningful friendships in a supportive environment
02
YOU VALUE CONSISTENCY
You understand that real relationships take time and regular interaction to develop
03
YOU WANT GUIDANCE, NOT GUESSWORK
04
YOU'RE READY TO INVEST IN FINDING YOUR PEOPLE
You've tried apps and random meetups, but you're ready for a structured approach that actually works
You believe friendship deserves the same energy and commitment as other important relationships
Who Might Not Be a Good Fit?

You might not find it suitable if:

You’re looking for a casual drop-in experience. This program requires consistent commitment to the same group
-
You can't attend most weekly sessions. Regular participation is essential for group success and your own connection-building
-
You're not ready to be vulnerable. Authentic connections require openness and genuine sharing

Hear From Our Community
“They always say you find someone special when you stop looking for them. I was happy to find someone I wasn't looking for, but most certainly needed in my life.”
Caitlin C, Spring 2025 Circle
Ken T
I met this one other person who excites me every day!
Jeff C
The program has given me more confidence in smaller groups. I've always been more comfortable talking to friends one on one and tend to be quieter in groups.
Daniel N
This was a really well organized and thoughtful program. It's hard to meet people outside of work or online dating and it's encouraged me to try more things like this.
