CONNECT AVL : Meaningful Connection Made Easy

This group is a space for open, thought-provoking conversations about the systems we live in and the cultures we inhabit. We’ll grapple with topics such as why so many people feel insecure about their worth in relationships and communities, how we can navigate both the apparent inevitability of AI as well as the ethical dilemma surrounding it, and whether the insanity of paying $45 for four hipster tacos and two drinks is why you need extra strength weed gummies to fall asleep at night. Join in community as we try to make sense of this increasingly chaotic and confusing world we’re living in.

Let’s Talks are group conversations led with community in mind. While the ideas are fun to explore, connection is the main priority.

This event is donation-based. If you can’t afford to pay, that’s okay! You still deserve to be in community.

Join to discuss pages 1-154 (First Night - Third Night) of The Courage to be Disliked. Everyone is welcome to join regardless of how much of the book has been read (even if it’s nothing!). It’s still valuable to be in community and hear the discussion.

While we will be focusing on the ideas in this book, the main priority of this group is community building. Expect brief introductions in the beginning. Attendees are welcome to open up, so that the content can be understood both intellectually and emotionally.

Are you slowly accepting the fate that you’re going to die alone with no one to inherit your vast fortune of streaming subscriptions other than your spastic orange cat, Rigatoni? Worry no more. While we can’t provide you with another human to sleep butt-to-butt with, we can all gather to commiserate the modern dating hellscape together. And doesn’t that make us all feel a little less alone?
