Coffee and Tea Socials

Join us every Tuesday night at a coffee shop to practice conversation, while enjoying a cup of coffee or tea together. Our topics change each week, but the English practice does not! We are always open for Q & A (question and answer) about Canadian culture, life in the greater Toronto area, or anything else you can think of!

Looking for something fun to do? Nothing good in the theatres or just want to interact with other over a pint or a port? Look no further! In conjunction with the "Euchre, Bridge, Poker and more" meetup group we'll host a weekly euchre match at one of Richmond Hill's landmarks: Archibald's Pub. http://scwclubs.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/14/files/2012/10/Euchre-Main.jpg New to the game, nothing to worry about. The regulars are friendly and patient. A veteran, we'll gladly welcome you back! http://s3-media3.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/j7Kw7aClyas_P0jq4E4_nQ/120s.jpg

**Are third spaces dead....(like this book club was for the last year)?** Short-Read Socials are back! Come meet with like-minded and unlikeminded people to talk about the topic of the month.

Join if you get **annoyed after being asked what you do**, **where** **you** **are** **from**, and how long you have been in Toronto, every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life then this is the place for you. 🙌 **📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?** ​We start with a short and sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start some **conversation** **rounds** (3–4 people per group). ​We have awesome **question** **cards** that will guide the flow of each conversation. (You never have to speak in public if you don’t want.) Our **experienced host will make sure everything goes smoothly**. 🍭 (Introverts, you'll love it too ❤️.) **🕹 HOW TO JOIN** **[Take a minute to sign up 👈](https://luma.com/ftst3toronto)** Viewing this on your phone and can't click the link?

Thank you for all.” - *Sonya* 🗣 “F\*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.” - Monika 🗣 "It’s a **wonderful** **experience**, it’s like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe you’ll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other." - Sara **[Read our 130+ Google reviews here 👈](https://goo.gl/maps/TpZy77bfPFkGoikn7)** **🤓 FAQs** **Can I come alone?** Of course, we encourage it :) **Can I be late?** Please don't! Late arrivals will disrupt the floooooooow. **I signed up but never got an invite. Why?** We usually get a high volume of sign-ups yet we like to keep it cozy and only invite around 30 people. Please try again next time if you do not receive an invite - no hard feelings 💛 **Why do you charge?** We value our time and put a lot of love, planning, and effort into creating and designing these experiences. ♥️ This is our project/business and what we give to the world and we think everything should be a fair exchange! 🎈 However, money should never be the reason for people not to attend. If you can’t afford it, send us a message! **Is this a networking or dating event?** Nope! Think of us as the *anti-networking* and *anti-speed dating* event. There’s no pressure, no pitches, and no cringy icebreakers. Instead, we create spaces where strangers can connect through fun & meaningful conversations. It’s all about authentic connection— no business cards or romantic expectations required. (doesn’t mean it *can’t* happen — it’s just not the intention!) 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨, 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙. ✨ \* Location is only revealed to ticket holders! 🙅‍♀️📱This event is a no-phone experience. 🙅‍♀️📱 We started in Berlin back in 2019 out of the frustration of being asked 'Where are you from?' multiple times at every single meetup! Now there are chapters in 11 cities including Medellin, Lisbon, Buenos Aires, Zurich, and London! 🗺️ \*\*\* Follow us on[ Instagram ](https://www.instagram.com/epic.llama/)👈 Our [website](https://epicllama.com/fuckthesmalltalk)[ ](https://epicllama.com/)👈
