If you’re looking to make new friends or enrich your existing friendships but would rather talk about something deeper than “what you do for work” or “what part of town you live in,” this picnic is for you! This event is best suited for folks who are introspective and open to learning about the ways in which the human experience is universal. So far, I’ve invited folks from all walks of life, between the ages of 18 and 68 (though, adults of all ages are welcome!). I hope we can all appreciate the fact that, even if we seem so different at the surface, we have a lot in common 🥰 I’ve gone to many events that seek to foster authentic platonic connection through sharing vulnerably, and while I’ve really enjoyed them, I’m disheartened that they often come with a hefty price tag. This potluck/picnic is free, and all who are respectful are welcome. All I ask is that you come with an open heart and bring some food (or plates/utensils/napkins/cups/garbage bags) to share, if you’re able to (and if you can’t, that’s ok too). Plant based food is highly requested 🥰 A blanket for yourself to sit on is also a must! Feel free to also bring sunscreen, a hat, or an umbrella. I love it when people bring folding tables as well! So that everyone feels comfortable dropping in, I intend for this to be substance free space. I’ll bring three card decks with deeper questions to encourage meaningful conversations. The decks I have are: Skip the Small Talk, Friends are Human, and Esther Perel’s Where Should We Begin?. Feel free to bring a deck of your own, if you have one! My recommendation is to sit in groups of 2-10, and answer questions with as much as you’re comfortable sharing. A quick note: Sometimes, sharing our innermost thoughts and feelings can bring up complex emotions. If at any point you’d like to process those feelings (during and after the event), I will make myself available to hold space 🩷 Also, my intention is for this picnic to be platonic. I know many of us might be looking for romantic love, but let’s be respectful of people’s boundaries 🥰 A good way to do that is, instead of asking for someone’s contact info, offer them yours, so they can feel empowered to make the choice to contact you (or sometimes not). Although I love kids, many topics of conversation might not be suitable for children, so please leave your kids (supervised) at home 🥰 Here’s a sample question from one of my decks: “If you were unsatisfied with life in 10 years, what do you think the reason would be?” I’m excited to host! Invite whomever you think will be interested 💕 My mom can’t make it this time, but she sends her regards 🥰 Feel free to message me with any questions or accessibility needs. -Sania
