The Launch Community Stranger Social

Join us for our May Stranger Social at MoveSpace!

At the Launch Community, we embrace unlikely community. We intentionally bring together individuals with diverse passions, interests, and backgrounds to cultivate a space for support, mutuality, and accountability.

The Launch Community may be for you if you:

• Are looking for motivation in pursuit of a goal or project.
• Find yourself longing for uplifting and accountable friendships.
• Are excited by the idea of trying new things and doing things differently.

While most communities are formed around shared interests or experiences, we do things differently. Our community is built on practice - we're developing the skills to cultivate belonging with others - with no training wheels.

Our gatherings are no-commitment, so if it ends up not being your vibe, then you will have at least made some new friends. At this gathering, we'll have lots of easy ways to connect and start conversations with new people and lots of ways to join in the celebration of the Launch Community.

This Stranger Social will be a potluck, so please bring a dish or beverage to share if you can! If your culinary skills are an important part of your identity, please whip something up in the kitchen. Otherwise, pick up a pack of your favourite treats or something you'd like to share from the supermarket. Takeaways are also welcome.

The Launch Community meets twice a month with one gathering welcoming new members (Stranger Social, like this one!) and one gathering going deeper and building our existing community (Connect + Expand). We meet at a number of central Auckland locations and aim to choose highly accessible locations for public transit, biking, and driving.

There is no cost for the event, but you may also consider, if you're able, bringing a koha to help us "keep the lights on" in terms of venue hire and admin costs ($10-20 via bank transfer or cash is plenty generous).

We can't wait to see you there!
