Conversations for Modern Minds

Identity

We all carry certain identities with ourselves. We take pride in our identities, and why not? We have spent many hours building it.

We all carry them — professional, personal, social — often without noticing how deeply they shape our choices and sense of self.

This conversation is a gentle pause to look at identity as it is lived, not as it is defined.

Not a talk. Not a workshop. Not a coaching session.
There will be no advice, teaching, or fixing.

Just an open, respectful conversation where different experiences and perspectives can coexist.

You may choose to speak, or simply listen. Both are welcome.

This space is for those who sense that their relationship with identity is changing — quietly, without drama — and want a place to reflect without pressure.

What must be happy experiences in my life turn out to be most stressful.

• Job situation with global markets going down,
• Unhealthy workspace situations and daily banters
• Boss - acts a little wierdish mostly

Let's openly talk about it. Well not about the boss or job situation but how it is affecting us personally, professionally and mentally.

An anonymous space for letting out your steam, for moving from a victim mentality to leadership, for venting out.

Yes, this is the space and I hold it out for you.

Agenda:

1. Complete Silence (no words spoken, inside and outside)
2. No Introductions (you can keep your video off, change your name, etc)
3. We hold the space for everyone - to speak around what they are going through with different situations
4. Solutions emerge through conversations
5. Closing bell (where we wrap up things around)

Holding this meetup space just for this.

This is that one event when the host will take a back seat and allow you to speak whatever that comes to your mind. Obviously we will be mindful of the space and honor other peoples time and beliefs but then that's it.

Sometimes, there are so many things we store within ourselves that we want to go out and speak. Obviously there are few guidelines here.

Guidelines

1. When you talk, you would be put on mute. You won't be asked to unmute yourself. Now this is quite contrary to what other meetups that you may have attended.
2. Based on your facial expressions in one minute, the group will decide either to unmute you or not.
3. You might find this crazy enough but think of this, you maybe speaking the truth that no one wants to listen or maybe you are victimizing yourselves and everyone wants to listen
4. It would be a great teacher. I have never done a meetup like this, so this is an experimental setup, I would love to be a part of.
5. If you don't know what to answer, we would pose a question to you.
6. You can be there, just to listen to people's talks. Even that's ok.

Agenda:

1. We start with absolute silence (2 minutes, pray to God, thank him for you are here at the right time, right place)
2. The anchor, myself opens up the forum to everyone. No need of introductions (interesting for you, but maybe boring for others to listen).
3. You raise your hand and the baton is passed to you. You speak for a minute. We listen muted and decide whether you are allowed to speak or not.
4. We move onto the next person in line.
5. Incase no hands show up, anchor can choose someone to go for next and pose a question if required.
6. 10 minutes before close, we introduce ourselves to the group
7. 2 minutes of closing silence.

It is surely going to be interesting enough. At least for me, for I would have real good fun listening to all of you (whether muted or not). What say?
