Perth Coffee and Conversation

Come on out for a new topic each week. Meet Amie, smile, laugh, chat, and enjoy the ambiance of this warm coffee shop together. This week's topic is: Hey, New Friend.

Here are the questions we will be discussing:

• Hey, new friend and old. Can you share your name, and a little bit about what brought you here today?
• What's one event or adventure - big or small, we're celebrating all of them - that you got to do this summer?
• Thinking on the memories of this summer, can you share something that you will miss?
• What is something new for you that you are learning to incorporate in your life - it can be a hobby, a habit, or an unexpected challenge that you're facing?
• For whatever you're bringing into this next season — what’s one small step you’d like to take to pursue your goal?
• With the fall season coming in, what is it that you are looking forward to?

Join us in this safe, inclusive, casual, and accepting environment where dialogue is encouraged over debate as each person has opportunity to share from their own diverse perspectives and experiences.

Folks in this group enjoy going beyond small talk, reflecting both inward and outward, helping build pathways for more peace and understanding in the world... and your voice matters!

No particular set of beliefs (or creed) is required to be a part of this community-building activity. Diverse perspectives are welcome.

Whether to discover yourself amidst a community on a common journey or to find meaning among new friends, there is room at the table for you.

Come on out for a new topic each week. Meet Amie, smile, laugh, chat, and enjoy the ambiance of this warm coffee shop together. This week's topic is: Surrender.

Here are the questions we will be discussing:

• Have you ever taken a leap — literally or not — where you weren’t sure you’d be caught? What was that like?
• When life throws a curveball, do you tend to lean into planning, adjust expectations, or hold on to how you thought things ‘should’ go? What’s that like for you?
• When life didn't go according to plan like in the moments shared before, are there moments of personal growth or unexpected positive that came from the chaos?
• Can you share a time when letting go was really hard — maybe because you’d been hurt before — and can you share what that taught you about trust?
• What’s one small thing you’re ready to let go of — or learning to surrender to — in the days ahead?

Come on out for a new topic each week. Meet Amie, smile, laugh, chat, and enjoy the ambiance of this warm coffee shop together. This week's topic is: Discover.

Here are the questions we will be discussing:

• What’s one small thing you’ve discovered about yourself this year -- a talent, a quirk, or better understanding of who or how you are?
• Some here have heard of the 5 Love Languages that express how we like to give and receive love, but I wondered who here has heard of the neurodivergent love languages? I'll explain each of them, and if you're willing to share, which of these align with how you like to give and receive love?
• When you’ve shared something that matters to you — a discovery, a passion — and it wasn’t met with curiosity, how did that land? And when it was met with care, what made the difference?
• Can you share a time when you felt pressure in moments where you were expected to already know something - like rules, the path, the "right" way - before you'd even had a chance to discover it yourself?
• Those feelings can come from a lot of places, sometimes even unintendedly, in our friendships, families, hobbies, and from ourselves. When those kinds of situations pop up, can you share a time when you've been able to create a safe space for first-time experiences even for yourself?
• Can you share a time when your attention caught something small — a shift in color, a pattern, a change in someone’s vibe — and it turned out to matter? What helped you notice it?
