🎟️ RSVP Required 🎟️ (20 Spots)
Join us for a morning of low-pressure conversation and kind company. This is a comfortable, laid-back space to enjoy a cuppa (your drink of choice) and connect with some really great people. Whether you want to chat with the group, or just quietly listen—your presence is welcome, just as you are!☺️
Tired of masking? Need a break from explaining yourself? This meetup is for adults with Social Anxiety, ADHD, or Autism who want to connect with others who "get it."
As Always:
No pressure to be "on" or perform to social norms.
Conversations that can jump topics—we love tangents!
Acceptance of stimming, room to be your authentic self.

🔍 The Fine Print (Our Attendance Policy):
To keep things fair for everyone and protect spots for those eager to show up, hosts review event attendance.
We do not issue automatic bans for a first no-show offense. Instead, to keep our RSVP process running smoothly and to be fair to those eager to attend, the account is placed on standby status.
Removal from events and waitlists for no-shows and chronic or last-minute cancellations will be at the host's discretion.
While we may consider certain circumstances, our focus is preserving open spots for those eager and able to attend, ensuring fairness for the entire group.
✨ Standby Status ✨
A no-show is when attendees miss an event without proper cancellation. Canceling within 24 hours of event time is also considered a no-show.
A no-show offense, late cancellation, or chronic cancellation can move your account to standby status, meaning any future RSVPs you make will be removed.
When this happens, you may direct message the Co-host, Janna A, within 2 hours of an event to check for unbooked seats.
If a spot is open, you will be manually added to the event. If no spot is open, there will be no reply—meaning you should not attend the event.
Standby status gives members a clear path to still attend future events by filling late cancellations or unbooked seats, without risking another empty spot on our roster. We genuinely want everyone to be able to attend.
