Bayonne Silent Meditation Community

Mon, Oct 5, 11:00 PM

From Bayonne Meditation Meetup Group

# Monday & Tuesday Evening Meditation Sit **Mondays & Tuesdays • 7:00 PM • Bayonne, NJ** **Free to attend • Donations are welcome but never expected.** Meditation doesn't have to be a solitary practice. The intention of this group is to build a small community of people who want to slow down, practice together, and support one another. We simply sit in silence with our phones off, followed by an optional discussion on Buddhism and meditation. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to show up with curiosity and respect. Because this is a small gathering in my home, I'll have a brief conversation with everyone before their first visit to learn about their practice and make sure the group is a good fit for everyone.

The Late Bloomers Collective: Designing Your Career Blueprint

Thu, Oct 8, 11:00 PM

From The Late Bloomers Collective

Imagine a room where you don't have to explain why you work the way you work — you just do. The Late Bloomers Collective is that room: a community for neurodivergent women and nonbinary folks to stop performing and start building careers that work with your brain instead of against it. You already know how to survive rooms that weren't built for you. Come to one that was — a place where we learn from each other's successes, sharing the one hack that's working for you so you leave with five more. This isn't therapy. It's professional development that fits how your brain works. What to expect: * Small-group conversations about what you're working on and what's getting in your way * A rapid-fire round of real hacks from real people * A hands-on art and visioning exercise around building a professional environment that's tailored to you * Light bites and drinks to keep you going This is for everyone who got the memo late that "just try harder" was never the answer, and isn't interested in pretending otherwise. Come as you are — you don't need to translate yourself here. RSVP here: https://luma.com/g8v81wnd If cost is an obstacle to your participation in this event, please reach out to Arielle at ariellekayenyc@gmail.com to request an accommodation.

For tickets and information: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1997754542615](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1997754542615) **IMPORTANT NOTE: CLICKING THE RSVP AND PAY ORGANIZER BUTTON ON MEETUP DOES NOT GET YOU A TICKET/ SPOT. YOU HAVE TO CLICK THE LINK TO THE EVENTBRITE PAGE AND PURCHASE A TICKET THERE. PRICE GOES UP AS EVENT TIME APPROACHES AND MAY SELL OUT SO GET YOUR TICKET ON EVENTBRITE ASAP.** **\*This is a multigroup event so event responses are only a portion of the total number of attendees** NYC Speed Dating - Dating Games Is your dating life starting to feel monotonous? Do your dates resemble job interviews more than actual chemistry? Sick of dedicating your entire evening to getting to know just one person? Then check out **“Dating Games” Speed Dating!** It’s a lively, modern twist on the classic format. Join us for a one-of-a-kind social experience for NYC singles! Meet new people, win raffle prizes, and connect with other fun, like-minded singles. It’s not only a great way to meet a potential partner—it’s also perfect for finding new friends or even future wingmen/wingwomen. **Suggested age range: 20s, 30s & 40s.** Our warm, welcoming host will get things started before dividing everyone into small groups at various tables. You’ll chat, mingle, and play lighthearted social games with groups of about 4–5 singles. The games are easy, super fun, and designed to help everyone open up and connect. After each round, you’ll rotate tables—just like traditional speed dating—so you'll eventually meet all the singles attending. You’ll also receive a “match sheet,” where you can mark anyone you’d like to speak with again. If they choose you as well, the host will email you each other’s contact information within roughly 24 hours so you can plan a date. Let’s be honest—we’re all tired of endless swiping on apps and meeting people who may not be anything like their profiles. A “Dating Games” Speed Dating night is a far better way to connect because you meet real people *in person* and get a genuine sense of who they are. This is an entirely new, innovative take on speed dating! We appreciate the idea behind traditional speed dating, but it can be tough to keep conversations flowing. That’s why at “Dating Games” events, you’ll have entertaining, easy-to-play games to help break the ice and avoid the typical interview-style awkwardness. We find this format helps people connect more naturally and meaningfully. ### WIN PRIZES! You’ll enjoy an evening full of fresh faces, interactive games, and social fun—no special skills needed, just a little luck! Our friendly host will guide the whole experience and help everyone get acquainted. Throughout the night you’ll play multiple games while getting opportunities to interact with all the singles of the opposite sex. When you win a game, you earn a raffle ticket—giving you chances to win prizes! ### IMPORTANT: THIS IS A PRE-PAY EVENT ONLY Tickets **must** be purchased online in advance—registration at the venue will *not* be available. As the event nears and space becomes limited, the price will increase to $35. *See more upcoming NYC events at [WWW.FRIENDZYEVENTS.COM](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dating-games-a-fun-twist-on-speed-dating-in-nyc-tickets-1982239058384?aff=oddtdtcreator)* For tickets and information: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1997754542615](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1997754542615)
