Are We Asking Too Much of Relationships?

We're often told to find someone who is our best friend, soulmate, lover, emotional support, adventure partner and lifelong companion.

But is one relationship really meant to fulfil all of those roles?

Introducing Beyond Small Talk, a new Balancers series where each edition explores a different topic, bringing different perspectives around the same table.

For our first edition, we're bringing this question into the real world through a social experiment designed to challenge perspectives and spark honest conversations between people who may see things differently.
We'll explore love, friendship, independence, intimacy, commitment and the different ways people choose to build meaningful relationships.

We'll start with one big question and ask everyone where they stand. Then, through a series of intimate, rotating table conversations, you'll meet different people, explore different perspectives and dive into questions designed to take the conversation beyond the usual small talk.
At the end, we'll come back together and ask the same question again: did anyone change their mind?

🚨*To make the conversations as interesting as possible, we’d love to keep a good balance of men and women in the room. As Meetup doesn’t give us that flexibility, tickets for this event are available only through the Balancers app (Click here) or our website. If you’d rather not download the app, you can simply book directly here.*🚨

It's not speed dating. There are no right answers. No pressure to overshare.
Just good questions, thoughtful people and an opportunity to see relationships from a different perspective.
