A weekend together turned a digital community into something deeper — real presence, real belonging, and friendships that lasted long after everyone went home.
Instead of y’all just being my online friends, this weekend was a huge amount of bonding time. I made some amazing lifelong friendships… a marker in my life that I will cherish forever.
Moments like this are what we mean when we say online community can become embodied community. Screens are where these friendships began — they are not where they ended.
