Highly Sensitive People (HSP) & Empaths Picnic

IF THE WEATHER IS POOR, I will update the "Location" section if we move to say, a nearby restaurant instead.

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: Sunday, June 15, 2025
⏰ Time: 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
📍 Location: Prince's Island Park (The green space just south of the Prince's Island Park Playground. I'll be holding a red umbrella and wearing a red raincoat. See the red pin in the “How to Find Us” section below and a Google Maps screenshot in the "Photos" section below for the exact location. Ground-level view photos provided as well)
💰 Cost: Free.
🍕 What to Bring: Please bring your own food, drinks, picnic blankets, lawn chairs, and umbrellas. The organizer will bring plates, forks and cups.

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).
