Have thought-provoking discussions, take part in conscious interpersonal conversations, make deeper connections with the outdoors or make deeper long-lasting friendships - there's something for anyone who seeks a deep connection in their life.
Here's a glimpse of what you can expect:
- Deeper Conversations: Our showpiece event about engaging in meaningful 1-1 conversation that will make you laugh, cry, connect and make new friends. These events are for anyone interested in conversations that go deeper than small talk ๐ฃ๏ธ๐ฌ. These events are open to everyone.
