✨ THIRD SPACE - SAAFC’s Peer Discussion Circles✨

A space to slow down, show up as you are, and feel held in community. Third Space is where we step outside our roles and into honest conversation, reflection and connection.

February circle: Unpartnered & Unbothered

This month, we’re gathering to reflect on relationship milestones which are often tied to rigid timelines and shape how people see themselves and their worth.

Together we will reflect on where those expectations come from and how to reclaim a sense of belonging outside of prescribed schedules. Given the February timing, this feels especially relevant and inclusive for people who are single, partnered, questioning, or navigating family pressure around love and marriage.

🗓️ Feb 22 | ️ ⏰ 2:00 PM EST | 📍The Jane Gallery (32 N 3rd St, Philadelphia, PA 19106)

🗣️ Facilitator: Aditi Verma De, LMHC-D, LPC, MA, MEd
