The Thriving Abroad Circle

JOIN THE THRIVING ABROAD CIRCLE

The Thriving Abroad Circle is a trusted community for internationals who want to build meaningful lives abroad — not alone, but in connection with others on a similar journey.

This is a space for thoughtful conversations, gentle reflection and meaningful connection. We meet online each month to pause, share experiences and learn from one another.

The Circle is intentionally kept small and personal. As the community grows, we welcome new members who feel aligned with its purpose and who are willing to help create the respectful, open atmosphere that makes honest conversations possible.

You are warmly invited to explore whether this is the right community for you.

NEXT CIRCLE SESSION:

THU 29 October 2026

19:30-20:30 CET

14:30-15:30 EDT

We believe that thriving abroad isn't something we achieve alone.

Every international journey is unique, yet many of the questions we carry are surprisingly similar. Sometimes what we need most isn't another expert or another strategy. It's a trusted circle of people who listen without judgement, share honestly and remind us that we're not navigating this journey on our own.

That's why this community exists.

What you can expect

By joining, you become part of a monthly rhythm of reflection and connection.

Monthly live Circle session

A 60-minute facilitated conversation on the last Thursday of each month, where we pause, reflect and share experiences of life abroad in a thoughtful and supportive space.

Light reflection between sessions

A short monthly email with a simple prompt or question to reflect on in your own time. There is no obligation to respond — it is simply there to keep a gentle thread of reflection alive between sessions.

A growing trusted community

A small group of internationals who return regularly, allowing familiarity, trust and deeper conversations to develop over time.

Our rhythm

The Circle is intentionally light in structure so it remains sustainable alongside a full life.

There are typically 10–12 live sessions per year, following a monthly rhythm with natural pauses during holiday periods.

Who is this for

This Circle is for you if you:

  • Are living or have lived abroad and want to reflect more deeply on your experience

  • Value honest, grounded conversations over surface-level networking

  • Are curious about personal growth, identity, belonging and meaningful work

  • Appreciate both reflection and real-life experience, not just theory

  • Want to feel part of a small, consistent community over time

Our Community Agreement

By joining the Thriving Abroad Circle, you are committing to:

  • Keeping conversations confidential

  • Listening with curiosity and respect

  • Speaking from our own experience rather than giving unsolicited advice

  • Respecting different backgrounds, perspectives and life choices

  • Contributing to a safe, welcoming and non-judgemental space

  • Supporting a rhythm of reflection rather than pressure or performance

A final note

This Circle is not about adding more to your life.

It is about creating space — once a month — to pause, reflect and connect with others who understand the experience of building a life across cultures.

You are welcome exactly as you are.
