How KNB Gatherings Work
[ OVERVIEW ]KNB gatherings are small, peer-led spaces for people who are carrying things that feel hard to share anywhere else.
We hold them only when there is enough space and energy to do it well. Here, I’ll share what these gatherings are for, what they aren’t, and what it’s like to join.
You don’t have to fix anything, change yourself, or promise anything.

[ HIGHLIGHTS ]What these rooms are for
To say what you’re hoping for
This can be simple or unclear.
You don’t need to explain it well or make it sound reasonable.
To say what’s making things hard
This might be work, status, money, direction, or something you can’t quite name.
You can say as much or as little as you want.
To not have to pretend
Everyone here is dealing with something unresolved.
You don’t have to present yourself in a certain way.
To not carry it alone
For a while, you’re not the only one holding what you’re dealing with.
That’s all.
[ boundaries ]What KNB Is Not
-
No membership, identity, or expectation to return.
-
People aren’t expected to offer advice, ideas, or help.
Sometimes someone does—if they’re willing and able. Other times, nothing practical happens. Both are completely fine.
-
No pitching, positioning, or proving your value.
-
Come once, come back later, or not at all.
-
Nothing needs to be fixed, resolved, or optimized.
What a KNB gathering feels like
-
You’ll receive a brief RSVP email with the details you need, so nothing important is left unclear.
It includes the exact location, including the building and entrance.
You’ll see a short description of what the entrance looks like.
It explains what usually happens in the first 10 minutes.
The goal is to help you know what to expect before you arrive.
-
When possible, a KNB team member will be at a nearby meeting spot about 20 to 30 minutes before the event starts.
If you prefer not to enter alone, you can meet at the spot and walk in with someone.
This is to help take the pressure off arriving by yourself.
-
As the gathering winds down, we come back together for a short check-out.
Each person can choose to share a word, a sentence, or simply say “I’ll pass.” There’s no right way to participate.
If there are practical follow-ups—such as “I can email you that link later”—they can be named briefly.
There’s no expectation to share a takeaway, commit to a next step, or promise to return. When the gathering ends, you’re free to leave as you are.
-
The gathering winds down with a brief closing moment. There’s no requirement to stay, exchange contact details, or make plans. People leave when they need to.
-
After the gathering, there’s nothing you need to do. You don’t need to follow up, provide updates, or attend future gatherings unless you want to.
If you’d like to stay informed, you can add your name to receive updates about new gatherings. If you’re interested in hosting or helping with a future event, you can let us know when that feels right.
If you want to share feedback about the gathering, you’re welcome to email [your contact email] with the subject line “KNB gathering feedback.” Reflections or suggestions are optional and read with care.
This section gives you a simple overview of what usually happens at a KNB gathering, from when you arrive to when you leave. It’s not a strict plan you need to follow, just a general guide to help everyone feel comfortable.
Requesting an invite doesn’t guarantee a spot. It lets us confirm fit and share details when there’s capacity.
