Wired For Wisdom

We live in a world of instant messaging, yet diminishing meaning. We’re constantly plugged in - and the more we scroll, the more disconnected we feel from ourselves and others.

The digital overload, social media, and distractions are eroding our capacity for deep, meaningful connections - fuelling loneliness, mental health challenges, and the loss of emotional intelligence.

Learn science-based improv techniques to read body language, navigate awkward moments, and speak your truth with confidence.

You’ve probably felt it:

• Wanting to say something—but hesitating
• Feeling a shift in a conversation and not knowing how to respond
• Sensing there’s more happening beneath the words, but not knowing how to read it
• Navigating awkward or unbalanced conversations without a clear way forward

This workshop is for you. It’s a reminder that you already have powerful human skills—they’ve simply been dormant, overshadowed by modern life.

How Improv Helps You Talk to Anyone
Using science-based improv tools originally developed in theatre, you’ll learn how to trust yourself in conversation—without scripts or small talk tricks.

Improv trains you to:

• Notice what’s happening in the moment
• Respond with clarity instead of overthinking
• Stay authentic, grounded, and present

You don’t need to be “funny” or extroverted. Improv is about awareness, connection, and confidence—not performance.

Grounded in Science. Practiced in Real Life.
This experience draws from proven research, including:

• Brené Brown – Connection requires courage and a willingness to lean into discomfort
• Vanessa Van Edwards – Non-verbal cues strongly shape trust and relationships
• Arthur Brooks – Meaningful relationships are essential to long-term happiness
• Mel Robbins – Confidence is built through action, especially in moments of hesitation

These ideas come to life through practical, embodied improv exercises you can use immediately—in conversations that matter.

What You’ll Practice
This isn’t just theory. You’ll actively practice how to:

• Read what people are really communicating without words
• Navigate awkward moments with ease
• Connect more deeply and naturally
• Speak your truth—even when your voice shakes
• Ask for what you want with clarity and confidence

All in a supportive, low-pressure environment.

How This Supports You in Life & Work
Whether you’re:

• Making new friends as an adult
• Navigating dating and relationships
• Strengthening personal connections
• Handling business conversations, leadership moments, or negotiations

These tools help you show up as yourself, not who you think you’re supposed to be.

The Outcome
By the end:

• Conversations feel lighter
• Connections feel stronger
• Relationships begin to deepen

You’ve built momentum, ambition, and achievement in your life or career - but something still feels out of alignment.

This gathering is for high-performing professionals, entrepreneurs, leaders, and coaches who no longer want to choose between outer success and inner fulfilment. Instead, we explore how to integrate both.

You don’t have to walk your mental, emotional, and spiritual journey alone.

Join us for a thoughtful, grounded, and honest exploration of what it truly means to succeed - without burning out, losing meaning, or disconnecting from yourself.

This Week’s Meetup: What We’ll Explore
1. The Gap Model Discover the internal “gap” between your external achievements (status, success, image) and your inner world (values, purpose, contentment) and how this gap quietly shapes your happiness and decisions.
2. Three Practical Strategies to Bridge the Gap Learn actionable tools to align ambition with fulfilment, helping you experience more clarity, peace, and meaning while staying committed to your career or business goals.
3. Awareness for Conscious Change Gain fresh insight into what - if anything - you want to shift in your life or career to feel more whole, grounded, and authentic.

How the Session Flows:

• A short connection-to-self exercise to arrive fully present
• A clear and practical introduction to the topic
• Guided group sharing, where participants reflect on personal experiences and gain insights and perspectives from peers
• Identifying key areas for growth or alignment you can take forward

This is not a lecture. It’s a conversation among peers.

The Atmosphere
Warm. Respectful. Grounded. No pressure to perform or impress - just real people, real conversations, and shared exploration.
Come with no expectations. Leave with greater clarity, perspective, and direction.
Questions on the day? Use the event chat - we’re happy to help.

Who Is The Suited Monk For?
The Suited Monk is a practical philosophy for people who live fully in the real and business world, but are searching for deeper meaning, fulfilment, and alignment.

It’s for professionals, leaders, entrepreneurs, and coaches who:

• Have achieved external success yet feel internally disconnected
• Want clarity around purpose, values, and life direction
• Seek answers to life’s bigger questions without religion or dogma
• Value contribution, authenticity, and human connection

The Suited Monk is a community rooted in human values - not religious practices - built on sharing, reflection, growth, and friendship.

The Core Idea We Work With:
Modern careers often focus heavily on the Suit: Money. Status. Results. Image. Achievement.
Too often, this comes at the expense of the Monk: Inner peace. Values. Purpose. Fulfilment.
The Suited Monk philosophy is about blending both worlds into one, so success no longer costs you your happiness or integrity.

Meeting Structure:
The session is facilitated by Raf Adams, author and creator of The Suited Monk philosophy.

• Brief introduction to the theme
• Guided group discussion and shared reflection
• Practical insights you can apply immediately
• Closing remarks to anchor the learning
