Skip The Small Talk

Tired of surface-level conversations?

Join us for Skip The Small Talk — an evening of deep, real connection with strangers who are down to go there.

We’ll meet in the grass in front of the cathedral (on the Wisconsin Ave side), break into small groups, and draw questions from a deck of cards designed to spark vulnerable, honest conversations.

How it works:

1. Draw a card and ask a question.
2. Listen. Don't coach or give advice without permission.
3. Try to ask follow-up questions when people share.
4. You can spend 1 minute on a question or 1 hour, just go with the flow.

**If you show up late, please join a group and 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.

PS — If it rains or is disgusting outside, we'll meet a couple of blocks from the cathedral at Community of Christ church: 3526 Massachusetts Ave.
