What we’re about
Welcome to The Social Dialogue & Networking Group, focused on socialising, intelligent dialogue, and networking -- with Awareness!!
We explore topics such as social dynamics, philosophy, social equality, humanitarianism, family dynamics, community, relationships, AI, finances, business matters, and more (make a suggestion)... with the intentional goal of fostering new friendships and connections. You could even have the opportunity to make a topic presentation to the group (max. 4min.)-- wow!
Speed-friending happens at the beginning of each event!
(pls. note: this is not a dating group)
We also hold in-person and online "Empathy Circles", with a trained facilitator. How amazing!
**The only requirement is that you are an adult / over 18+, as the community is all-adult-ages and demographics.
Whether you're a lady, gentleman, senior, or simply looking to expand your social circle, our diverse events cater to all. Our open attitude includes the privilege of learning from everyone, regardless of background, age, culture, etc.
Join us for engaging discussions, brainstorming sessions, and activities intentionally centered around expanding social health and wellbeing.
This is a community based on mutual respect, understanding, and support. And, all are welcome to join us in creating meaningful connections, whether friendships or business-related -- and sharing in enriching experiences!
Further description: All In-Person Events are by min. $5 donation (administrative costs). Thank you in advance!
Some events may be themed for annual holidays, e.g. Easter, Vaisakhi, St. Patricks Day, Christmas, Halloween, etc.; or attending local ethnic spaces/events, e.g. Greek Days, Chinese New Year in Chinatown, Japanese Garden, Italian Cultural Days, etc.
So, get ready to have fun!:)
Philosophy:
The Social Dialogue & Networking Group coined a term called: "Socialising Intelligently".
Socialising intelligently means intentionally increasing self-awareness whilst socialising. By creating the space for suspending-judgement and respecting differences, whilst observing our thoughts and emotions, we increase social intelligence.
It really is that simple!
The art of intelligent dialogue requires self-awareness, which you will have the opportunity to learn as you grow and expand this technique. You can then incorporate it into your life in dynamic ways, whether personal or in business.
Let's allow ourselves to be creative, intentional, and amazing!
Always look forward to seeing you:)
Guidelines:
Suspend judgement of self and others;
Be present... practice presence;
Hold whole-body awareness whilst socialising (the art is in the practice!);
All-Inclusive;
Any issues brought to the Host will remain confidential.
Liability Waiver:
All personal experiences and connections are each participant's own responsibility.
We wish you well on your authentic journey!
NOTE: at the host's discretion, members who regularly sign up to receive notifications & communications about events, but do not attend the events themselves, will be removed to retain the integrity of the group; therefore, do not register for events unless you are committed to showing; this will also prevent the loss of administrative costs of various sorts. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
