About Meet-ups
WeStrive works towards building a community of socially and spiritually striving individuals around the globe. One means of forming this community begins, for many, on-line. However, we can strengthen our community by making sure that, when possible, we get to actually meet one another in-person. WeStrive Meet-ups are intended to be a global conference that takes place at the same time around the world in small, localized gatherings.
Local Meet-ups share similar agendas for the day and work with similar topics and issues in small groups. Meet-up participants get to share their own, individual initiatives during a select period of time during the day’s agendas, allowing for new growth to form out of the Meet-ups and into the world.
Meet-ups are generally held in people’s homes, in community centers or schools and all people are invited to join for the day. People can register on WeStrive.org.
