About The Wednesday Effect
Some things only happen in small rooms. I first noticed it in a church basement off St. Mark's Place in 1995. Not during services. During AA meetings. Where people spoke their truth and others simply listened.
What We Know About Small Rooms
The math is simple: Ten people. Not nine. Not eleven. Ten creates what researchers call "psychological proximity" - close enough to connect, large enough to hold diversity. Small enough to feel safe. Large enough to matter.
Beyond that, something breaks. People start performing instead of sharing. The air changes. The magic leaves.
Why This Works
Every person you meet carries a story they've never told. Not because they're hiding it. But because some stories need the right room. The right silence. The right witnesses.
Trust isn't built in big spaces. It grows in small moments. Between strangers who stop being strangers. In rooms where leaders set down their strategies and share their doubts. Where people become human again.
Why Wednesdays
Because transformation doesn't need a weekend retreat. Because real change happens in ordinary moments. Because the middle of the week is when we feel most alone
What Happens Here
Ten people gather. One person shares something true. The rest listen. No advice. No fixing. No performance. Just stories finding their way into the world
What We're Not Doing
We're not disrupting storytelling.
We're not optimizing human connection.
We're just creating space for untold stories to change us.
One small room at a time. That's all. That's enough.
