International Friend Connection West Coast

Sunday Dance/Music Party! 

**Find comfort in creativity:** Join us at Schuler Books Cafe for a low-pressure social experience designed with shy and socially anxious people in mind. Having an activity to focus on makes socializing so much easier!

**IMPORTANT TO KNOW:** Many people come once, get disappointed that they don't make a lot of friends on their first visit, and then never come back. Everyone who becomes a regular always ends up making a lot of friends.

**How it works:** Bring your favorite coloring books, art supplies, or any activity you enjoy (Nintendo Switch, card games, knitting - anything goes!). The activity gives you something to concentrate on while conversation happens naturally around you - no awkward silence, no pressure to maintain eye contact or constant chat.

**Shy-friendly promises:**

* No introductions to the whole group required
* Come and go as you please
* Participate in conversation only when you feel comfortable
* Activities provide a natural buffer and conversation starter

**Too anxious to walk in alone?** We understand completely. Message us when you arrive, and a friendly greeter will meet you at your car to walk in with you. Many of our regular members started this way!

**Everyone welcome:** While this event is designed with shy folks in mind, we welcome anyone who enjoys a calm, judgment-free environment. The West MI Social Club from Facebook will be joining us too.

**What to bring:** Your favorite coloring books and supplies (or Schuler's sells these if needed). Feel free to bring other activities instead - whatever helps you feel comfortable.

**Look for:** The Meetup sign in the cafe area.

**Take your journey further:** Discover our original and in-depth program for overcoming social anxiety and building meaningful connections through our YouTube channel: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVhrbTYkCPs&list=PL7dZ0pbrV6fTSANlyWr58fqm-Wejf0OjT](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVhrbTYkCPs&list=PL7dZ0pbrV6fTSANlyWr58fqm-Wejf0OjT)

*"I sat in my car for 20 minutes before my first event, but then I never missed an event for years. The coloring and activities made all the difference." -* Krystle (our former host who moved away in 2022)
