For the curious and the cautious

Sage Collective is an online community where people gather in small, facilitator-led circles called Groves to be seen, heard and supported. It isn't a program or a course. It's a community built on shared humanity.

No. Groves are trauma-informed peer support, held by trained facilitators. They aren't therapy, coaching or medical care, and they aren't crisis support. Many members find Groves a meaningful companion to other care.

If you're in crisis in the US, call or text 988 any time.

Sage was born from the healing journeys of Carol Ann and Jason. Jason found transformation through group circles in his own mental health journey. Carol Ann brought over 20 years of executive HR leadership and a fierce belief that community should leave people better, not broken. Together they built the place they wished had existed for them. Meet the team.

No. We're spiritually open and identity-affirming. No doctrine, no dogma, no exclusion. Everyone belongs here, not despite our differences, but because we honor them.

A live, online, facilitator-led circle of up to eight people. Each Grove has a theme, such as grief or PTSD/CPTSD, and lasts 75 minutes. Learn more about Groves.

Most people are surprised by how calm and ordinary it feels. Sessions are paced, structured and gentle. Some are quiet, some include emotion, and many are simply people listening and being present together.

You never have to speak. There's no fixing, no analyzing, and nothing to prepare. If you're nervous, that's okay. Most people leave feeling steadier, not exposed.

Never. Passing is always welcome, and you choose how much or how little to say. Listening is a full way of taking part.

Trained, trauma-aware facilitators who hold the circle with integrity, consent and care. Facilitators go through a careful selection process, and we pay them fairly.

Never. Groves are live only, and confidentiality is one of our core agreements.

Every Grove follows the same structure and nine core agreements, including confidentiality, consent and no advice-giving. Facilitators are trained to pace the session and support anyone who needs a moment.

We started where people most need support: grief and PTSD/CPTSD. A Men's Healing Grove is coming soon, and more themes will follow.

A phone or computer, a quiet spot, and Discord, which is free. Everything happens there: the schedule, reserving a seat and the Groves themselves.

Not at all. Our Welcome Guide shows you exactly what to tap, and Sage Bot greets you once you're in. If you get stuck, we're happy to help.
