Your Gentle First Step Into The Spirit University Community
New here? Start here. Been coming for months? This is still for you.
Thursday Night Circle is where The Spirit University community comes home each week — a judgment-free space where first-timers and familiar faces gather to reconnect, reset, and simply be together.
Why People Keep Coming Back
“I came once as a newcomer. Now I don’t miss a Thursday — it’s become my anchor.”
Some people discover this circle on their first night at TSU and never stop coming. Others have been part of TSU for years and still return every week because this space offers something rare: authentic human connection without agenda. There’s no curriculum to catch up on, no inside knowledge required, and absolutely no pressure to have it all figured out. You can walk in alone and leave with connections. You can return week after week and always find something new in the same sacred space.
What Happens
7:00 PM – 8:00 PM every Thursday
We gather in a circle. Amy, our facilitator, opens with a gentle grounding practice (nothing intimidating, we promise). Then there’s space for reflection and optional sharing. Some weeks you might share what’s on your heart. Other weeks you might just listen and breathe. Both are perfect.
No awkward icebreakers. No being put on the spot. No prerequisites.
Just real people, real conversation, and the relief of being in a space where you don’t have to perform or pretend.
This Circle Offers

For newcomers: Meet people before jumping into classes — get familiar faces and recommendations
For everyone: Weekly reset and grounding — your midweek pause button
For seekers: Understanding what TSU is really about — experience the vibe firsthand
For regulars: Reconnection with your community — the faces that feel like home
For all of us: Belonging — the feeling that you’re part of something meaningful

Meet Amy Mercado
Amy has a gift for making everyone feel welcome from the moment they arrive. Her warm, grounded presence creates the kind of safety where walls come down and authentic connection happens naturally. Under her guidance, even the most hesitant newcomer relaxes.

Just Show Up
Every Thursday at 7:00 PM
No registration required — seriously, just come
Your first Wednesday is waiting. Your community is already here.
Whether you’re brand new to TSU or a regular looking for deeper connection, you belong in this circle.
