Deep Chat

At Kindred, we are intentional about creating the conditions for deep, meaningful, and stimulating conversation. We are here to make it easier for you to make real connections and community. Every meet up, we will discuss a chosen theme that is relevant to our everyday lives. The theme will be posed in the Discussion section of our group page and in the event page prior to the event. We encourage you to show up honestly and authentically :)

We meet every other Wednesday from 7-9 PM at Jiaren Cafe in Santa Clara. This is the typical structure:

• 7 - 7:30 PM: Introductions and icebreaker
• 7:30 - 8:50 PM: Main facilitated discussion with a chosen topic
• 8:50 - 9 PM: Closing and mingle time
• 9 PM: Optional After Hours Chats at Gamer's Haven

Every gathering is a sliding scale of $18-25, which includes a drink from the cafe and snacks. Bring a friend for half the price! You can choose to pay ahead of time or when you arrive.

Please contribute through one of these options:

• PayPal @Kindred Ground LLC
• Venmo at @KindredGround (in the notes, please put SBDC)
• Card (new: tap to pay through Eventbrite!)
• Cash

We are happy to partner with Jiaren Cafe and be part of its community by using the space and buying drinks. If you're having any trouble paying or if the price feels like a big deterrent for you, please contact Monika or Denise to discuss options. Thank you!
