***This event is pay what you wish! You'll need the event URL, so be
sure to register in advance so we can send it to you.***Do you want
some meaningful human connection without leaving the house? Due to
COVID-19 safety precautions, this event will now be online! It will be
facilitated almost identically to a normal Skip the Small Talk, using
video chatting software. The first few we've hosted have gone
surprisingly smoothly and we've gotten a lot of great feedback from
people who have gone!
We will *actually* start on time for this (no, really!), so please
arrive early and make sure you are on the website (we'll send you the
link) right at 12:30 pm!
----
Do you wish you could have more of the kinds of conversations you have
late at night where for some reason, you feel safe talking about the
things you actually care about?
Bring your friends (or come by yourself) and spend your Sunday
afternoon at an event where you know everyone else is there for the
same reason.
We'll be offering question prompts with "big talk" conversational
topics to get you started, and we'll have lots of structure to make
sure that you actually talk to people and that it's not awkward. Not
feeling like answering a particular question? No worries, we'll have
plenty to choose from, like, "When are you the happiest?" and, "If you
were going to become close friends with me, what would I need to know
about you?" We'll give you ground rules to make sure you feel
comfortable and safe sharing as much of yourself as possible while
still feeling in complete control of how much you divulge. Want more
info? Check US out at www.skipthesmalltalk.org

Please do your best to arrive a couple minutes before 12:30 pm if you
haven't been to one of these before so you don't miss the intro, but
feel free to come late if you need to-- you'll still be able to
participate just fine! If you've come to an online Skip the Small Talk
before and would rather skip the intro, feel free to come at 12:40 pm.
Skip the SMALL TALK IS DEDICATED TO PROVIDING AN INCLUSIVE, welcoming
