About us
Thinking While Drinking Online (http://thinkingwhiledrinking.org/) is the online companion to the TWD groups that meet in person across the country.
Just like when we get together in person, TWD Online is for those interested in discussing topics that will exercise, stimulate and expand your mind - all while (optionally) enjoying a drink over Zoom.
For each event, the facilitators will come prepared with a handful of thought provoking questions and concepts on the topic at hand, we'll see what everyone has to say and go from there...
We are not suggesting that life's difficult and fascinating questions will be neatly answered during our meetups nor that any sort of professional therapy or dogma will take place. This is just a space to meet other curious, sociable and open-minded people in an atmosphere of exploration and enjoyment.
Last but not least, our group is run entirely by volunteers and your donations go a long way to keep us afloat. Help support us by contributing to our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/thinkingwhiledrinking).
Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you at an upcoming online event!

How to Express Your True Self
·OnlineOnlineSuggested viewing before we meet (9 min video): How to Optimize Social Interactions
- Are you capable of expressing your authentic (true) self during a stressful moment?
- Is there a "true self," or could there be different versions of ourselves for different social contexts?
- How is expressing yourself confidently different than doing it arrogantly?
- How does knowing your core values help you stay calm when being socially judged?
Let's think about it and express our true selves together!

About TWD Online events:
- Zoom event starts at 3pm pacific
- From 3p-3:30p, members join the main Zoom room to mingle, watch the video again, grab a beverage and settle in
- At 3:30pm, the hosts create Zoom breakout rooms where groups of 6-10 members join to have a more in-depth conversation about the topic
- Between 5 and 5:30, the hosts decide to end their facilitation and leave their breakout room to return to the main room. At 5:30 PM, all of the breakout rooms are closed and members will be returned to the main room for the ‘post discussion party'.
