Joy Circles & Events | Practical Hug

Events

Gatherings, circles, and workshops

Practical Hug is a community for women in life's messy middle — practical tools, honest support, and no pressure to have it together. If you landed here from a link or social post, you're in the right place.

Joy Circles are our live gatherings: small groups (max 10), low-stakes, about $10 per event. You don't have to show up polished. Come as you are and pick the one that feels doable.

Our events are where the hug meets the map. You'll see what's upcoming here, including Joy Circles. As we add new offerings, they'll show up on this page too.

Joy Circle-Spring 2026

Tuesday, May 5 at 4:00 AM
Through June 30
9 sessions
$20.00

Join us for a Joy Circle — a warm, intimate gathering where we slow down, share what's bringing us joy, and support each other through the hard stuff.

This isn't a workshop or a class. It's a circle. We show up as we are, we listen without fixing, and we leave feeling a little less alone.

This circle is for you if:

  • You want real connection, not small talk
  • You need a space where it's safe to say "I'm struggling" AND "something good happened today"
  • You're craving community that actually sees you

What to expect:

  • A warm welcome and grounding moment
  • Guided sharing (no pressure, no performance)
  • Genuine connection with other women
  • A small, intimate group

Spring Series: Tuesday at 10:00 am for May and June 2026 Purchase once for access to all Tuesdays. No commitment needed. Come once, or come to them all, you do what is best for you.
