This structured event is not about scrolling and swiping and making snap decisions based solely on physical appearance. This event is about being open enough to see each other's humanity.

You might meet your new boo! Or you might not. You might meet your new bestie or protest buddy. Or you might just leave feeling more connected to your community and more connected to yourself.

Bring a notebook!

From past attendees:

"This is like benevolent counter-culture."

"You made a potentially awkward night super fun!"

"The questions you asked were FANTASTIC! Your events helped me know more about others around me and provoked a better understanding of myself."

"I left feeling more connected to my community and more connected to myself."

“I so appreciate you holding this space, and bringing depth, light-heartedness and hope to so many people.”

“Thank you eternally for this event which has dramatically made my world less lonely and more alive. In the name of love and filling the abyss of digital isolation, you are doing more for public health than anyone I know.”

"A heart-felt thank you for the invitation and space to be safely me. Thanks to your helpful crew, too! Let’s keep doing this good work--the world needs us!”

We've got fairly sturdy chairs with no arm rests.
It can get pretty loud with everyone talking at the same time during our small group conversations. Good to know if you're sound sensitive!
