Highly Sensitive People (HSP) and Empaths Meetup

Join us for a warm and welcoming gathering designed for Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) and Empaths in Calgary! This event is a space where you can connect with like-minded individuals who truly understand emotional and physical sensitivity. Whether you want to share experiences, receive wisdom, gain confidence in who you are or simply feel a sense of belonging, this is a supportive environment where you can be your true self.

Event Details:
📅 Date: Saturday, May 17, 2025
⏰ Time: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
📍 Location: Central Library (Room 3-16 B. Find by walking in through the library's main entrance, walk a few meters straight and the elevator will be on your left. Go up the elevator to floor 3. Turn left and you will see a set of stairs (but don't go up them). At the base of the stairs, to the left of it, you will see the room we are in: a big room with glass walls and a large flatscreen TV inside. I'll be wearing a red raincoat if you need to locate me)
💰 Cost: Free. Donations welcome (because the Meetup app costs $400 per year to organize) in person or by etransfer to (Meetup is glitched and won’t let me type it, so please replace the “DOT” with the period symbol): justinyee1125@gmailDOTcom
🍕 Food and Drink: The organizer will bring plates, forks and cups so feel free to bring your own food and drink to share with others.

The event offers a relaxed, flexible setting where you can chat with others at your own pace—whether one-on-one or in a larger group. To help break the ice, lists of fun and thoughtful "20 questions" will be available to spark conversation.

Please Note:

• If you don’t identify as Highly Sensitive or an Empath, and are just looking to find someone to listen to you with empathy, I wouldn’t recommend this group and instead would recommend attending a support group (which this group is not) as there is no guarantee that others in this group will listen with empathy to what you share. Members of this group are looking to meet other like-minded individuals.
• This is not a therapy or support group or a replacement for therapy. Please be responsible for your own personal mental health, and be in control of your own reactions as members of the group are allowed to share their own opinions and there is no expectation of confidentiality (something found in a support group).

Previously, we met on weekends at the cafe at the Central Library but a librarian asked us to move the location of our events to library meeting rooms. Due to room availability, events will sometimes be held on weekdays and not always at the Central Library anymore.
