Brunch and Friends in Toronto
⚠️ **IMPORTANT: You must sign up and buy a ticket here to attend:**
[https://groupvibe.com/](https://groupvibe.com/)
**Join the Toronto Brunch Club and make new friends!**
Each meetup brings together 4–6 people for casual conversations over brunch. We use the Groupvibe platform to facilitate the meetup and ensure everyone’s a good fit.
👉 **To attend, you’ll need to complete registration via this link:**
[https://groupvibe.com/](https://groupvibe.com/)
We’ll share the exact location of the upcoming meetup the night before only if you have bought a ticket or membership plan.
**Why this works:**
\* Smaller groups make real conversations easier.
\* Discover new restaurants in your city, together.
\* Curated brunch venues with good food and vibe.
\* If you hit it off with your group, there’s plenty of time to hang out afterwards.
**Note:**
RSVPs on Meetup don’t reflect total attendance. Many attendees register directly via our website. The event on [Meetup.com](http://meetup.com/) is only a placeholder.
This meetup is organized by Groupvibe, a small team passionate about helping people form meaningful friendships offline.
New York City Book Club: Circe
**🍵 Book Discussion Group: Circe by Madeline Miller · Just Bring Yourself**
This meetup brings the group together to read from and discuss Madeline Miller's Circe in a casual and welcoming atmosphere, and a good chat is guaranteed.
Discussion flows wherever the group takes it — with the conversation often surprising even long-time members, and the format rewards curiosity over expertise.
No requirement to finish — come wherever you are in the book, and hold onto your strongest reaction to the text, and bring your reading notes — since every perspective adds something the group would not have without you.
You do not need to have been before — and the group tends to make first-timers feel at ease very quickly, nothing beyond the book and your thoughts is needed, and the discussion gets richer with every new reader who joins.
---
🌟 Every book grows when you bring it into a room full of readers — RSVP and come ready to talk and the conversation is always worth showing up for. The evening is better when you are in it. 🌟
Local Social Host Sign-Up: Lunches, Drinks & Curated Experiences
**Want to help bring your city’s community together?**
We’re looking for local hosts to organize small group lunches, evening drinks, mixers, movie get-togethers and curated experiences.
**No experience necessary,** just a friendly attitude, some local knowledge, and a willingness to meet a few new people. After each event, we’ll send a short feedback form so we can improve and support you. The host will also be able to provide feedback so we can learn what worked and what didn't.
**[Click here](https://form.questionscout.com/6926c9ab87a828a5c11a79fc)** to apply and get started: if you’re selected, we’ll reach out for a quick screening call.

NEW LOCATION Sunday PUB-NIGHT/iNtuitive Banter at The Madison
**NEW LOCATION - Madison Avenue Pub**
**Due to FIFA schedule our venue may be busy. Be sure to confirm venue/dates before coming!**
**\*NOTE\* Our main meetup group for in-person events is Toronto Intuitives.**
Join your community of fellow Intuitives and MBTI nerds for a casual evening of engaging conversation.
We get together every second Sunday – with a mix of regulars and new friends. There is no fee to attend, though we ask that you support the venue by ordering something to eat or drink.
**Feel free to contact event host B. via Facebook/Meetup messenger, or text/call 416-712-8635 for directions**.

Map / Directions: https://maps.app.goo.gl/scdLEYqb9LNJWkgWA
We make an effort to find pubs that are quiet and introvert friendly, with a section to ourselves. We make no effort to muffle our extroverts, but should they get out of hand, our resident INTJ will use their death stare, to pull them back in line.
Downtown Toronto French conversation exchange
This is an informal conversation group for anyone wanting to practice / use their French and meet some new people. All levels are welcome, but having a conversational level is strongly recommended (and of course native French speakers are very welcome too!). / Il s'agit d'un groupe de conversation informel pour toute personne souhaitant pratiquer / utiliser son français et rencontrer de nouvelles personnes. Tous les niveaux sont les bienvenus, mais il est recommandé d'avoir un niveau de conversation approximatif (et bien sûr, les locuteurs natifs du français sont également les bienvenus !)
Nous nous rencontrerons dimanche, de 14h00 à 16h00, au foodcourt de Brookfield Place, qui heureusement a beaucoup de tables et garde la musique basse!
+ Juste un rappel que ce groupe est un lieu d'échange détendu avec les autres dans un esprit de respect, de tolérance et de réceptivité à la multiplicité des cultures et des niveaux de français représentés. Merci de respecter ces principes en participant aux meetups.
