Time

Let's have a conversation about time.

Here are a few questions we will consider during this evening:

• what is time for you?
• how has your perception of time evolved throughout your life?
• how do you cope with growing older?
• what do you think about “letting go of the past”?
• what is the role of time in “healing wounds”?
• how much time do you spend thinking about the past or the future?
• how intentional are you about how you spend your own time?

If you've never participated before, here's what to expect:

• 2 hours of deep, interesting conversations in a respectful environment that will elevate your spirit and give you new ideas for life, work or relationships
• a supportive group of people sharing their own unique experiences and viewpoints, and encouraging you to do the same
• a rich mix of newcomers and regulars from different countries and cultures for a broad diversity of opinions and experiences

Please remember the existing rules of this group:

• DO listen respectfully. DON'T interrupt others.
• DO show up with a learning mindset. DON'T try to win an argument.
• DO show curiosity towards other people experiences and ideas. DON'T project judgement and blame.
• DO make yourself fully present. DON'T pull out your phone during the conversation.

🚫 No-show policy
As the group size is small, no-shows have a strong negative impact on the group. As such, the policy is that as a general rule, no-shows and same-day cancellations will not be able to sign up for future events. To avoid this:

• Only reserve a spot if you really intend to come.
• If your plans have changed, cancel at least 24 hours before the event, to give people on the waiting list a chance to change their own plans and make it to the event.
• If you have a real last-minute emergency and need to cancel in the last 24 hours, please contact me directly to avoid "no-show" status.

🌮 Food for thought
Here are a few quotes about time:

• “It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.” - Rose F. Kennedy
• “It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.” - Seneca
• “Since time is the one immaterial object which we cannot influence—neither speed up nor slow down, add to nor diminish—it is an imponderably valuable gift.” - Maya Angelou
