Meaningful Conversation for Curious Minds ("Big Talk" tribute)

Welcome to Curious Souls Café, a warm and friendly space for meaningful conversations. 😊 We invite you to join us for an experience filled with thought-provoking dialogue, meaningful connections, and personal growth.

In this Big Talk tribute, we will use the thoughtfully crafted Big Talk Question Cards (the white, classic deck) to reflect, share our thoughts, and exchange personal experiences in a fun and engaging way. The Big Talk movement began as one woman’s quest to skip the small talk, meet new people, and foster deeper, more meaningful conversations. You can learn more about her inspiring journey in her TEDx talk.

Inviting all Curious Souls who are passionate about:

🌍 Embracing open-mindedness
🤝 Tapping into collective wisdom
🗣️ Engaging in meaningful conversations
🌱 Embarking on a journey of self improvement
📚 Exploring diverse schools of thought and personal experiences

🗓️ Agenda / What You'll Experience

💬 Meaningful Icebreaker Conversation Cards (Round 1)

We will begin the session with the meaningful Big Talk conversation cards. You'll have the opportunity to pick a card and initiate thought-provoking conversations with fellow attendees.

(Where suitable, we may have a big group or multiple smaller groups, depending on the availability of facilitators and the number of participants)

💬 Focused Discussion on a Meaningful Topic (Round 2)

After warming up, our diverse group of friends and strangers will come together in a circle to exchange ideas on an intriguing topic chosen spontaneously.

Each participant is encouraged to contribute by sharing a unique question. You’re welcome to bring a question that’s been on your mind, or you can draw inspiration from the icebreaker conversation cards provided. Once all the questions are collected, the group will collaboratively select one to kick off the discussion.

From there, we’ll embark on a respectful, engaging, and meaningful conversation, celebrating the diversity of perspectives and ideas within the group.

(In case there isn't sufficient time for round two, we may only attempt the initial part of it, or focus on an extension of round one. Let's go with the flow!)

💬 Final Thoughts and Feedback

In the final 10 minutes of the event, we’ll take a moment to reflect on the key insights, memorable moments, and takeaways from our discussions. This is a chance to distill the shared wisdom and leave with a deeper understanding of the topics we’ve explored together.

After the event officially concludes, we may choose to extend the session, depending on the group’s interest. Of course, you’re welcome to leave at any time that feels right for you.

An anonymized summary will be shared for sessions where key insights are identified. After the meeting, our facilitators and participants may reflect on the discussion and contribute to a summary or collaborative workbook based on their notes and observations. Additionally, questions may be revisited in future sessions in an anonymized manner.
