We are very excited about this idea!!

🌲✨ Introducing The Pines Connector: Creating Community Through Conversations ✨🌲

In a world full of distractions, we’re launching something new… a space to slow down, be present, and truly connect.

The Pines Connector is a monthly gathering designed to bring together people from all walks of life for meaningful conversations, personal growth, and shared meals led by trained Leadership Coaches. Think guided table talks, laughter, fresh ideas, and the chance to meet people who may become friends, collaborators, or thought partners.

💡 This is not a networking event, not a dating event, and it’s not about small talk. It’s about real connection, curiosity, and community.

📅 Upcoming Dates (Dinner included, $45):
• October 9, 2025 – Pinehurst United Methodist Church, 5:30–8:00pm
• November 13, 2025 – Pinehurst United Methodist Church, 5:30–8:00pm
• December 11, 2025 – Pinehurst United Methodist Church, 5:30–8:00pm

✨ Each evening includes:
✔️ Inspiring facilitator-led talks
✔️ Two rounds of themed table conversations
✔️ A shared meal together
✔️ Closing reflection + casual mix & mingle

But it doesn’t stop there… 🌟 The Pines Connector will also expand into smaller groups that meet more often—on their own time, in homes or local venues—for deeper conversations, creative exchanges, and continued connection.

Meet our incredible facilitators:
🌟 Kathy Stoddard Torrey – Leadership & Communication Coach, Keynote Speaker, Author
🌟 Rose Young – Educator, Entrepreneur, Podcaster, Community Leader
🌟 Katherine Krupka – Energy Coach, Wellness Consultant, Interfaith Minister
🌟 Maria I. Carlton, MSHA, SHRM-SCP, CMC, Author – Chief Potential Officer, Future Reach Coaching, LLC

New Episode Alert!

Today on the Imagine Moore Podcast, the tables have turned...I’m not interviewing a guest…I am the guest.

Life threw us a curveball (thank you, Covid ), so I decided to share my own story: from Little Rock, Arkansas ➡️ Okinawa’s Blue Zone ➡️ German opera houses ➡️ right here in Moore County.

You’ll hear about:
How a “one-year tour” turned into 20 years overseas
Why German opera singers refused to speak English to me
Teaching across all four branches of the military
Starting Imagine Moore Events, Moore Biz Spots, and this very podcast
And why I write a jingle for every guest

It’s funny, it’s heartfelt, and I promise—it’s never boring.

* Rent short term offices or meeting spaces whenever you need a professional backdrop
* Earn extra income by listing your underused conference rooms
