First Picnic!

## 🧺 No Small Talk Picnic (Inaugural Edition)

When: Saturday at 12:00 PM
Where: Federal Hill Park, Baltimore (top of the hill near the trees)
Rain Plan: If it’s raining, I won’t be there. Otherwise, I’ll be on a blanket with snacks and some real questions.

***

This is the first one - so maybe it’s a solo picnic. Maybe a few curious strangers show up. Either way, it’s happening.
This is a soft invitation to show up as you are and opt into deeper, more intentional connection. No networking. No pressure. No performance. Just good questions, shared presence, and maybe a new friend or two.
I'll be hosting gently: welcoming people in, offering conversational prompts, and holding space for quiet, weird, or heartfelt conversation.

You’re welcome to:
- Sit quietly
- Join a group prompt
- Bring snacks, a book, or a journal
- Say “hi,” answer one question, and then leave

You don’t need to RSVP. You don’t need to explain. Just come if the idea feels good.

This event is platonic, consent-centered, and safe-space oriented.
No photos without permission. No flirting-as-default. No expectations.
