Tired of surface-level conversations?
Join us for Ditch the Small Talk—an evening of deep, real connection with strangers who are down to go there.
We’ll meet at la Madeleine located at Downtown Crown, nearby the Rio. If the groups are large enough, we'll break into smaller groups, and draw questions from a deck of cards designed to spark vulnerable, honest conversations.
Please be sure to add yourself as a member of the main page FIRST (Better Every Week) prior to joining this event in order to be registered to attend!
How it works:
Draw a card and ask a question.
Listen. Don't coach or give advice without permission.
Try to ask follow-up questions when people share.
You can spend 1 minute on a question or 1 hour, just go with the flow.
If you show up late, please don't interrupt the speaker. Just sit down in a group of your choice and they'll bring you up to speed when whoever is talking finishes.
Bring a blanket or chair if you don't want to sit in the grass.
Rules
1. Don't debate politics
2. Keep what is shared in the group within the group
3. If you need to use your phone, step away from your group first
4. Have fun, relax and enjoy the wonderful conversations to be had!
