Some say our best relationships are built on stimulating conversation. To celebrate Valentine's Day, Book + Bottle invites lovers and friends to a workshop run by Michael Tennant, creator of the empathy card game Actually Curious! Using his card games, Michael will run us through exercises that push couples and friends to grow while also including moments of levity and laughter. Based on the science of trust-building and emotional intelligence, this workshop will help you get more vulnerable as you build trust - with your best pals or your significant other. Grab a glass of wine and let's get deep!
