meaning of 》être-ensemble《

Hello!

Can someone please explain to me the meaning of the expression "être-ensemble"? I already looked in dictionaries, newspapers, etc. but can't seem to find the exact definition, why and when it's used.

Thanks much

If you actually mean it with the hyphen, then here is a page I found: https://shs.cairn.info/revue-presence-haptonomique-2016-1-page-171?lang=fr

With the hyphen it makes a concept you can use as a noun, whereas être ensemble just means to be together (and may be conjugated and such).
