What we’re about
Welcome to our safe space in Sarasota where neurodivergent and shy people can connect authentically.
This group is part of and paid for by the International Friend Connection. We partner with The Octopus Movement Think Tank in Europe. We believe that everyone is important to the future of humanity. It doesn't matter what your past or present looks like.
What We Offer
This is an oasis from the outside world where you can be yourself without judgment. We create a peaceful environment where meaningful connections happen naturally.
Whether you're:
- Navigating social situations differently
- Processing the world in your own unique way
- Preferring deeper conversations over small talk
- Looking for genuine understanding and acceptance
You belong here.
Our Values
Acceptance - Everyone's way of being is valid
Peace - We maintain a calm, respectful atmosphere
Authenticity - No masks or pretending required
Connection - Building real relationships at your own pace
Who's Welcome
Everyone who comes in peace is welcome. We're here to support each other and create the kind of community we wish existed everywhere.
Come as you are. Leave feeling understood.
