The Connection Experiment

Bring a letter. Read it out loud to a small room. 🕯️

At our Nov 1 Connection Experiment, a few attendees talked about letters they'd received, and the ones that had stayed with them. It made me want to host an evening just for that: reading those words out loud, to a room that is listening.

It doesn't have to be a formal letter. A long message, an email, or a card all count. One you wrote, one you sent, one you never sent, or one you received.

How it works 🪑
- 👥 We'll gather as one small group. Each reader gets about 10 minutes.
- 🗺️ Start with the context: who wrote it, who it was for, and when.
- 📖 Then read it. If someone else wrote it, read it in their voice, as if you were them.
- 💬 Afterward, the group can ask a few questions, but only if you want them to. Reading and passing is fine too.

Before you come ✉️
- ⏳ Keep the reading part under 5 minutes. If it's a long letter, choose a part that fits.
- 🌿 No need to prepare or practice. This isn't a place to be perfect. It's a place to share something that moves you with people who want to hear it.
- 👂 Just want to listen? You're welcome to come and listen without reading.

Tickets: $7 early bird, then $10. The ticket keeps the room small and everyone in it intentional. If it isn't what you hoped for, message me, and I'll refund you, no questions asked.

Some letters are meant to be read more than once. Come read yours.

We're hosting an evening of real conversation. The kind that reminds you of who you really are, but rarely gets asked anymore.

What to Expect 🪑
You'll spend 1.5-2 hours with 20-30 people in a series of paired conversations. Here's how it works:

• Throughout the evening, you'll rotate through conversations with different people 🔄
• Each pair gets 15 minutes and thoughtful questions to explore together 💭
• You'll both ask AND answer, equal time, full attention 👂
• After each round, you move on to someone new. You'll have 4-5 conversations total

Why We're Gathering 🌱
In a world where we're more "connected" than ever, genuine conversation has become surprisingly rare. This event isn't about networking, professional development, or problem-solving. It's about something simpler and more nourishing: the experience of truly listening and being heard.

Tickets: $18 tickets available until Nov 14th, then $25. which covers drinks and the venue, just to keep it small and cover costs.
