Our Communities

Colloquy Communities creates

a welcoming ethos of being and learning together.

Who can participate?

Most participants are either from or living in Europe, but participation is open to all who are interested in connecting in meaningful conversation around relevant life topics. These communities are providing quality learning opportunities to engage with diverse people and perspectives through informal settings.

How to participate?

Call, email, or find us on social media expressing your interest to participate, and one of our leaders will be in touch with you.

Does it cost something to participate?

Colloquy Communities in a non-profit community organization that operates from donations of participants. While payment is not a requirement for participation for Colloquy Communities, participants are encouraged to donate 20 euros for each session or 100 euros for unlimited sessions in one month. For individual well-being sessions with a Colloquy professional, participants can schedule these directly with one of our counselors, psychologists, leadership, or life coaches.

What are the communities?

Colloquy Communities include a variety of relevant and quality topics over a one-month period. Participants can choose which topics interest them and participate flexibly in those sessions. This means they can participate as much or as little as they desire (even without their video).

How many people meet in the communities?

Depending on the specific community, the number of people who join usually ranges from 4-12 most of the time. Feel free to join without video and without participating to try it out.

When do the communities meet?

Depending on the communities, meetings generally are on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Sundays. Check the community you are interested in joining for more specifics.

Are meetings all in English or are other languages offered?

Meetings are held in the English language; however, translation services have been used for interested participants.

Are all meetings online or are some in-person?

Depending on the location of community participants, in-person “hybrid” gatherings are organized for informal connection in face-to-face ways. On some occasions, community meetings may take place with some members being together in-person while others are joining online. The first in-person retreat for Colloquy Communities was in Thessaloniki, Greece, in August, 2024. Stay tuned for more brief weekend retreats in a city near you.
