Why You'll Love It
Why You'll Love It
Small Group, Big Connection: Limited to 12 spots to keep things intimate and reduce social overwhelm.
No Pressure to Talk: You’ll always have a fallback activity (like journaling or a craft), so there’s no pressure to engage if you’re feeling shy.
- Feel Better, Together: Leave each mixer feeling lighter, more joyful, and connected to a community that gets you.
- Prefer Solitude? That’s welcome here too. You can come just to listen, reflect, and recharge in a supportive space—no talking required.
Social Anxiety Friendly
Social Anxiety Friendly
Have social anxiety? These events are perfect for you. Here’s why:
- Small Group Size: There are a limited number of people to keep things intimate.
- Structured Activities with Flexibility: From the moment you walk in until you leave, there’s an activity you can do—but everything is optional.
No Pressure to Engage: You can rely on the structured activities if you prefer not to talk.
Inclusive Environment: Everyone here is a little quirky, just like you!
Name Tags for Easy Introductions: No awkward “what’s your name again?” moments.
Leave Anytime: If you need to head out early, no one minds.
Judgment-Free Zone: We’re all here to support, not judge.
The first screenshot here is from someone with social anxiety after attending one of my events for the first time. The second screenshot is from the same person six months later.
This is a great way for you to build confidence in a safe, supportive space.
