What we’re about
Hello conversationalists! The purpose of this group is to spark interesting and thought-provoking conversations about life, love, and any other meaningful topics people want to discuss.
Everyone is welcome to join - no matter your background or how introverted/extroverted you are - as long as you want to have some thoughtful discussion around interesting topics.
Each meetup will be focused on having meaningful conversations. The theme for each meetup will change but the overall discussion will be structured to promote group discussions where everyone's voice is heard.
The goal is to tackle "meaty" topics but still create an inclusive and respectful atmosphere where everyone's thoughts are heard.
This group is not affiliated with any larger organization and is free to join.
Please join our facebook group as well, since we will likely switch over to that format at some point. Here's the link:
