🍻 Nine Steps: Fridays At the Nest

**The Nest Lounge \| Every 1st & 3rd Friday\, 7pm–10pm \| Portland\, OR**

🌀 ***Step in from the storm. Slide into a booth. Take a breath. You have arrived.***

Every other Friday, seekers of truth, healing, and human flourishing gather at *The Nest*—a cozy, friendly pub tucked away in Portland’s heart—to share stories, sip spirits, and explore what it means to be alive together.

This isn’t a lecture. It’s not a workshop. It’s a **conversation**—an open invitation to connect over drinks, dinner, and deep thoughts in a place where your quirks are cherished and your questions are welcome.

🌿 **What to Expect**

* Soft light. Warm food. Sparkling eyes and the quiet thrill of real talk.
* Conversations about the Nine Steps to Home: our signature path of human development through Self-Care, Connection, Ambition, Identity, Knowledge, Alignment, Freedom, Sovereignty, and Wholeness.
* Laughter, resonance, and the joy of not needing to perform.
* No pressure. No prerequisites. No masks. Just show up as you are.

🍷 **Why The Nest?**

The Nest is more than a pub—it’s a pocket dimension for the tender and the wise. Nooks for introverts, games for the playful, and a menu that nourishes the body as well as the soul. It’s our hearth away from home.

🌕 **Who’s It For?**

These Friday gatherings are perfect for:

* Curious newcomers
* Longtime wanderers of the soul path
* Those who find cities overwhelming but still crave connection
* Queer, neurospicy, and spiritually seeking folk of all stripes
* Anyone who wants to meet *the human behind the mission*

🕯️ **Guided by Devid**

You’ll be welcomed by Devid Sword, creator of Nine Steps to Home—part mystic, part mischief-maker, part humble seeker. Come say hello, ask questions, share your story, or simply bask in the vibe. And yes, you’re welcome to keep it chill and just listen.

✨ *So if your heart’s been hungry for something real—if you’re craving kinship, courage, or just a quiet corner to be yourself—you’ll find us here. No script, no sales pitch, no small talk unless that’s your thing. Just a circle of souls, gathering to remember what it means to be human.* 💫
