🎟️ Two quick steps to join us and help spread the word!
1. Secure your spot on Luma: https://luma.com/fghnz57u. Luma is the official registration platform, so please register there to confirm your place.
2. RSVP on Meetup (too)! If you're planning to come, please also RSVP here on Meetup! Seeing familiar faces and growing interest encourages others to join, helps build our community, and makes it easier for everyone to see who's coming.
Important: Your Luma registration secures your spot. A Meetup RSVP alone does not reserve a place.Hosted by Apollo, a fellow Toronto vegan of almost 15 years (and vegetarian for over 30 years before that). This is play for real humans, led by someone who shares your values.
Are you tired of surface-level socializing? You show up, make small talk, scroll your phone, and leave feeling just as alone as when you arrived.
This is not that event.🎲 How it works
Five bags sit in the centre of the room, each holding simple games from a different category:🗣️ Verbal: conversation prompts, storytelling, honest expression
🧠 Intellectual: brain teasers and perspective shifters
🌿 Physical: gentle movement and body awareness
🎨 Creative: imagination and expression without pressure
💫 Combination: a mix of the above, often the most surprisingOne at a time, people choose a bag and pull the next game. No set agenda. The group shapes the night, so no two gatherings are ever the same.
The games are genuinely simple. Think drawing a shape together, finishing a sentence, or answering a question nobody has ever asked you before. No skill, performance, or big personality needed.
You can play, watch quietly, or drift in and out. Every way of showing up is welcome. Latecomers are always welcome too.✨ What you'll experience
🌱 A soft landing from the pace of life
💛 Real connection beyond small talk
🌈 Laughter and shared joy
🌙 A reset from screens
🎭 A gentle reawakening of your inner child🙋 Who it's for
Introverts, extroverts, neurodivergent minds, sensitive souls, the curious, the skeptical, and anyone craving genuine community. Come alone, most people do. You'll leave knowing some fellow vegans a lot better.🪩 About your host
