No-Small-Talk Picnic

## 🧺 No Small Talk Picnic

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 second one - the first one was delightful, with about a dozen people from all walks of life meeting, sharing, listening, and enjoying the beautiful park.
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. I cannot stress enough, romantic advances at the picnic are not welcome. If you feel unsafe or need some distancede from someone, tell me and I’ll protect your peace.
No photos without permission. No flirting-as-default. No expectations.
