我係 INFP + 3 號仔，嚮往自由自主嘅生活，同時渴望同真誠嘅人連結。 所以開咗呢個 Coffee Meetup Group——唔係 networking，唔係 speed dating，而係一個「用一杯咖啡，用心傾吓生命」嘅空間。 我哋做咩？ · 喺咖啡店見面（你揀地點，我嚟就你都得） · 每次 1-4 人，輕鬆、無硬性 agenda · 分享你最近諗緊嘅嘢：一個困擾、一個夢想、一個成長關口、或者只係一件小事 · 唔係心靈輔導，而係互相聆聽、交流、啟發 如果你都： · 覺得城市太嘈，想搵個地方慢落嚟 · 鍾意聽人哋嘅故事，亦唔介意打開自己 · 想搵到志同道合、願意一齊突破嘅朋友 歡迎你 join 我哋嘅聚會。 每一場 meetup 都係由我（group host）親自同你夾時間地點。 有興趣就 RSVP 或者 DM 我講一句：「我想約咖啡。」 等緊你嘅故事。☕️

🌿 Gratitude, Connection, and Inner Peace 🌿 In a world that encourages us to focus on ourselves, it's easy to forget how deeply interconnected we are. Every meal we eat, every skill we learn, every opportunity we receive exists because countless people have contributed to our lives. What happens when we pause to truly appreciate this? This Sunday, we'll begin with a mindful Chan Tea experience, creating a space to slow down, settle the mind, and reconnect with the present moment. We'll then explore a dialogue on gratitude, compassion, and the deeper connections that shape our lives. Together, we'll reflect on how appreciation can soften the heart, reduce inner restlessness, and cultivate a greater sense of meaning and belonging. ✨ A peaceful afternoon of tea, reflection, and meaningful conversation. 📅 Date: June 20 Saturday ⏰ Time: 15:00-17:00 📍 Address: Mingle with the Park, 143 Wan Chai Rd, Wan Chai, Hong Kong 🌏 Language: English (for English speakers and international friends in HK) Spaces are limited—this is an intimate gathering for those who wish to slow down, look inward, and connect meaningfully. ✨ Let's drink tea, read a little, and see what surfaces. 👉 Join for Free

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.

Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.

Welcome, readers! Our June read is ***Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible*** ***Voyage*** **by Alfred Lansing.** A work of nonfiction, and one of the most astonishing survival stories in history, we follow Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew after their ship is crushed by Antarctic ice. Stranded in one of the harshest environments on Earth, the men endure months of isolation, freezing temperatures, and near starvation—yet refuse to give up hope. Lansing brings their ordeal to life through vivid detail and firsthand accounts, capturing both the brutality of nature and the resilience of the human spirit. At its core, the story is a powerful testament to leadership, perseverance, and the unbreakable will to survive against impossible odds. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **all** **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖

This month we’ll be reading Goddess of the River by Vaishnavi Patel. Feel free to come even if you don’t finish the book!
