Introverts' Big Talk!

Note: This and other FFF>50 events will be permanently shifting to our walled-garden playground on the Mighty Networks platform (donation based and no pressure to upgrade), please sign up here!

For people who don't enjoy small talk in large groups, like many of my fellow introverts (and others!), let's dive right into "Big Talk!"
The topics are intended to get us thinking and reflecting as we share, and also appreciate each other and laugh (“There was giggling”!) said a December participant.

We'll use the breakout rooms to pair off by twos, to discuss a "big" question for 14 minutes (roughly 7 minutes for each person). See the January topics below!

Then we'll return to the main "room" to share brief reactions, then move on to a new round with a new topic and a new partner.

We'll enjoy a total of three rounds, which may give us new insights into our own lives and each other, and maybe help us connect with someone who becomes a new friend!

Rules: Active, deep listening. Sharing the time equally. Providing advice only when asked. Accepting what the other says with kindness and unconditional support because it is true for them.
In previous sessions we've found a lot of insight and even made new friends (sharing contact info to connect later) thanks to these deeper conversations. Hope you can join!

The topics this time:

1. Let’s think about “clearing out the baggage” from the old year. What are you ready to leave behind — habits, obligations, possessions?? What is no longer serving you, so that stepping away from it can help you grow into more of who you truly are?
2. What successes, of any size or type, did you have from the old year? What went right? Let’s name them and celebrate them! Feel free to shout “Yay!!” about someone clearing out her weedy garden, or anything else!
3. Now that you have cleared out the baggage and celebrated what went right, what are your next steps? How can you be more YOU in 2026?
