You are the light of the world. Shine.

We live in an ever-changing, vibrant community with neighbors from every walk of life bringing color and character to our town. Surfers are carving waves, anglers casting lines from the pier, and lively local businesses humming with energy.

Our mission is simple and bold: to help our neighbors—new and old—love themselves and one another more fiercely. In a world that can feel darker and disconnected, we champion the healing power of strong relationships, true friendship, and rooted community.

We spark connection and foster growth—mind, heart, and spirit—through gatherings, conversations, and shared experiences that deepen your sense of belonging in Venice. Come join us for a friendly game of volleyball, a short chat about relationships, or simply to meet people who care. We can’t wait to welcome you.
