### What to Expect

Generally, we're aim to keep the vibe chill and organic. There will some light structure and "guiding" for the philosophy discussion portion.

1. Arrival & mingle – Drop shoes at the door, grab a seat in the living room, lo-fi ambiance / cafe jazz playlist in the background.

2. Warm-mug station – I’ll have decaf coffee, green, & herbal teas ready. Want regular coffee? Bring your favorite blend (K-cups don't work at the moment) for yourself and others and we'll pop it in the coffee maker.

3. Light snacks / bites first: cheese, crackers, sliced turkey - bring other light / delicious appetizers please?! Pot luck style if you like 🙌 Leave a comment with what you'll bring (food or desert - but no obligation if $ is tight)...

4. Roundtable philosophy discussion – We’ll circle up and start the discussion - In the past we covered: (1) Life / Success / What is fulfillment? How to achieve it? ... (2) Dating and relationships (this was fun and at times got "spicey" at times haha but everyone was respectful. For this time, we want to pick a slightly new or updated set of questions or topics... (see #5 below)...

5. Your questions welcome – Post a comment or DM me beforehand with something you’d love to explore, a topic, a deep question, something ideally that everyone can relate to. I’ll pick a primary set, and a couple backups in case the chat needs fresh spark.

6. Dessert shift – After the first round, we’ll break to mingle and set out the sweet stuff. Suggestions for what people might like to bring (but no obligation): ice cream, cookies, brownies, or other dessert items or baked goods (NOTE: 4ish members of the group are gluten free).

7. Wind-down options – To recap discussion portion will flow in 2 segments of about 40-50 min each. When the philosophy flow eases, feel free to keep sipping tea, mingle pour a glass of white wine, we'll pop on fresh music, or break out a quick card, board, or video game. Totally organic.

Expect an atmosphere that’s curious, friendly, and judgment-free. Share an insight, pose a question, or just listen and learn (or un-learn!). Let's grow wiser, more enlightened, and more successful together.

### Bring (optional)

• Your favorite ground coffee, tea, or bottle of (white) wine to share... The couch and carpet are white so, red wine is risky 🤔 - Logan! haha
• Snacks and/or desserts ("yay" for homemade + big "yay" if also gluten free). You may use the kitchen if something needs to be heated or reheated.
• Notebook if you'd like to jot down thoughts to remember or if it helps you think.

### RSVP & ATTENDEE CAP

• At this time: attendance is limited so be sure to RSVP to reserve your spot.
• I'll be capping it at 20 since we normally have a 75%-80% show rate (however, for those who consistently flake, you will be politely asked to not RSVP or be removed from group). Last time was great, we had about 14-15 people.
• If we see big demand, we might tweak / uncap it. Space is limited for now though...

### Parking

Driveway fits 2; curb parking is fine along Lagente Circle—just avoid blocking driveways. Make sure to proactively message me (recommended) / check your Meetup messages for the full address before the event - I'll also need your name to add you to the Front Gate security list to you can get into the community.

If you need a ride, leave a comment. People sometimes carpool down from Sarasota / Bradenton and might be able to give you a ride.
