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, break into small groups, and draw questions from a deck of cards designed to spark vulnerable, honest conversations.

How it works:

1. Pick a random person in your group.
2. Draw a card and ask that question to the person.
3. Listen. Don't coach or give advice without permission.
4. Anyone can ask follow-up questions. You can spend 1 minute on a question or 1 hour, just go with the flow.
5. When you don't know what else to say or ask, the next person picks someone and draws a new question card.

Bring a blanket or chair, and your award-winning smile.

PS — When it rains, we meet at Tatte Cafe & Bakery (13 Ridge Square NW, Washington, DC 20016).
