WOMEN & FEMME PEOPLE ONLY

Most social meetups end with a handful of social media handles and zero actual plans. This one ends differently.

Spend an hour in genuine one-on-one conversations with women you have never met. There is no awkward mingling and no wondering who to approach next. Instead of swapping social media handles but never actually meeting up again, you pick your favorite people from the rounds and find a spot in the garden to have a picnic together. Same afternoon. No follow-up texts. No scheduling headaches.

By the time you're laying out the picnic blankets, you've already found a group of women you genuinely click with. Maybe this becomes your regular picnic and park squad. Maybe it's just a great afternoon. Either way, you're not doing it alone.

Most social gatherings end with a handful of shallow pleasantries and no real connection. This one ends differently.

You will spend an hour in genuine one-on-one conversations with people seeking meaningful social connection beyond work and networking. There is no awkward mingling or wondering who to approach next. Instead of surface-level small talk and networking-style questions that lead to forgettable interactions, you pick your favorite people from the rounds and share a communal meal on a giant blanket area and use conversation cards to spark deep discussions. Same afternoon. No follow-up texts. No scheduling headaches.

Just real conversation that turns into a real plan — with people you already vibe with.

By the time the sun starts to set, you've shared a meal and real stories with a new group of friends who know the real you. Maybe this becomes your monthly deep-connection picnic crew. Maybe it's just a great afternoon. Either way, you're not doing it alone.

BYOB (blanket) & bring a dish to share. People bring blankets and we place them next to each other on the grass, creating one large communal picnic area.
