Intentional Connection: Hate Small Talk? Come Play, Make & Connect

Thu, Aug 13, 10:00 PM
From Beyond the Surface Conversations

The dating apps aren't working. The IRL meet-ups are draining - people you met aren't interested in connecting beyond the event. Sick of the people who "do" relationships casually? So are we. BeHeld is for those who believe friendships enhance your quality of life. Those who see the beauty in the bond between Rachel, Joey, Monica, Lisa and Chandler from Friends. It's also for: \- the singles who want to find their person\, \- the men looking for their bros and believe in self\-development\, \- the women who love hot girl walks\, run clubs\, puppies\, sleepovers\, brunch\, and belt out to "Who Run the World?" \- the men or women who struggle with vulnerability but have an appetite for deeper connections\. Not for: \- anyone who cannot stand being vulnerable with strangers \- anyone who currently cannot initiate plans on a regular or reciprocal basis; \- anyone who thinks ghosting is okay instead of communicating\. Event Outline: 1\. Gamified Icebreaker: You are given a mission to find the person in the room with a unique trait or hidden talent\. You will have to talk to everyone to get to the right person\. 2\. Group activity: Whether it's reverse charade or a card game\, these activities are meant to break walls \(figuratively\) and have everyone laughing\. 3\. Swap: You'll bond with other people after the group activity using card prompts\. You'll end up with one activity partner for the next activity\. 4\. Make something: Based on what you've learned about your partner\, you'll make something that represents them\. You'll leave with something made just for you\, plus voice notes from the people who made your night\. You choose who you want to meet again, and we'll take care of the rest.

From Greenspeakers Toastmasters Club - Practice Public Speaking
4.8

New location! Meeting at Berkeley College, 3 E. 43 St. in room 402. We are moving the start up up a bit to avoid running up against the building close time (21:00) and potentially allow for more socializing. We are one of few Toastmasters clubs in NYC offering in-person meetings and we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity for in-person communication and networking. Interested in improving your public speaking skills? Want to meet new people and engage in interesting discussions? Hoping to make new business and life connections? If so we welcome you to attend the next Greenspeakers meeting. Greenspeakers is a Toastmasters club that was founded by Green Party members to provide a forum for engaged progressive activists and professionals to improve their public speaking skills. Guests of all political persuasions are welcome and we have no official connection to any political party. All attendees will have a chance to practice public speaking and will learn helpful tricks to become a more confident public speaker and communicator. Hope to see you there! Please note that our meetings require active listening and it's expected all in attendance will be respectful to each speaker by giving them your attention and refrain from making noise during speaking roles. Any who are disruptive or do not follow the behavioral guidelines of Toastmasters may be asked not to return.

## California Adult Summer Camp Our West Coast summer home brings a unique personality that **redefines what it means to be cool**, and it does it without even trying. There is a sense of timelessness that lingers in the warm, dusty fresh air and it is here that we will give you a throwback to a better time. To the time when you played like a kid all day and partied like a grown-up at night and when you never felt the weight of the world on your shoulders. Here you might sweat in the California heat, but you won’t sweat the small things that beat you up back in the real world. This is the escape to happiness you need, where you can turn off the notifications and instead turn up the music then **dance like no-one is watching**. It is a heightened sense of adventure for the thrill-seekers. Come throw yourself into it and you will experience our classic **3 night, all-inclusive** adult summer camp event. Complete with dozens of camp activities, nightly socials, daily events, accommodation, beautiful meals, unlimited drinks and a team that brings it all to you in a kick ass fashion.
