A little reassurance

New to Gather?

You don’t need to have it all figured out.

I've never done anything like this. Can I still come?

Yes. Many Gather events are appropriate for people trying something for the first time. Each event page will tell you what to expect and whether you need previous experience.

Can I come by myself?

Absolutely. You don't need to bring someone with you or know anyone at Gather before attending.

What should I wear?

It depends on the event, but comfortable clothing is usually a good choice. If you need anything specific, we'll tell you on the event page and in your registration confirmation.

Do I need to bring anything?

Each event page includes a “What to bring” section when something is needed. Otherwise, come as you are.

What happens when I arrive?

Give yourself a few minutes to arrive and settle in. We'll let you know where to go and help you get comfortable before your event begins.

What if I don't know which practice is right for me?

You don't have to choose a path. Read about what's happening, explore the different practices and start with whatever catches your attention.

I have a question before I register.
