Sharing reflections on life and learning

The goal is to get into more meaningful conversations in small groups centred around specific themes, skip the small talk and dive deeper.

The idea is to engage in active listening and to share personal experiences, insights and lessons learned in a supportive setting.

Depending on how many we are, to ensure variety and inclusivity, we can swap groups, each exploring different sub-themes with suggested questions to prompt stories, so everyone has a chance to meet different people throughout the event.

To wrap up, share suggestions to improve the group and for future topics to be voted for in the WhatsApp group.

Ground rules:
• There is no pressure. Individuals are welcome to contribute as they feel comfortable.
• We are here to listen so no interrupting others as they are speaking.
• Kindness, tolerance and mutual respect always.
• No judgement. Zero tolerance on all isms and phobias.

When and where:
Every second Saturday between 2-4pm in the Quiosco Rosaleda cafe in the Jardins Viveros. It's courteous to buy a drink. I'll arrive 10 minutes early to get a table and you can recognise me from my photo in my profile.

Include personal growth, belonging, vulnerability and trust, social connection, loneliness and isolation, and values.

There is no limit on number of attendees so if it shows full, come anyway:
We are meeting in the park cafe, so all are welcome (MeetUp Starter plan limits places to ten in the application.)

RSVP:
Of course, if your plans change and you are unable to attend, it's useful to cancel your RSVP so other attendees have an idea about how many people are attending.

Language:
This event is English-speaking only and not a language exchange.
