Intentional Conversations @ Laurelhurst Park
Details
FOUR isn't only about connecting with others — it's equally about discovering yourself. What we bring into a room tends to be reflected back at us. How we relate to others is often a mirror for what lives inside us.
Your conversation can flow in whatever direction feels natural. You're welcome to let it run free, use the prompt cards available at your table, or draw on any of the seven verbs as a starting point (link below). This space is yours — follow what feels alive.
What to bring:
-Your chair/seat cushion/blankets
-Snacks and drinks
-And whatever makes you feel comfortable
Square's Tips:
🌀 Check your ego at the door.
Beliefs, identity, roles, and preferences — leave them outside for now. Today, curiosity is your best accessory.
🤝 Choose kindness over being right.
We're not here to debate or convince. We're here to connect. Listen, stay open, and let other people's truths land without needing to fix or correct them.
🕯️Bring what you've got.
Your full presence, a little intention, and whatever self-awareness you walked in with — that's enough. You don't need to be healed, polished, or prepared. We'll meet you exactly where you are.
🙋 You're in charge of you.
If something lands hard, just say so. You can pass on any question, any time, no explanation needed. No one will push, and no one will follow up. Your comfort sets your limits here.
🤫 Silence is welcome.
Pauses aren't awkward here — they're part of the conversation. Let yourself sit with a thought before you speak, or not speak at all. Both are valid.
🎉 Play is encouraged.
Don't take it too seriously. Laugh if something's funny. Go off script. Let your quirks shine today!
