New Group: The No Small Talk Discussion Group
This group is for people who enjoy good, open conversations. For some, this kind of discussion can be nourishing and can raise energy. While a diet of endless small talk can drain energy. This may be a bit unusual or challenging but it will be an opportunity is to connect with yourself and engage with others doing the same. The conversations will take place in pairs, to make it more comfortable. Topics will be proposed and may include those below. If you don’t like a topic, feel free to pick another:
· Three things about me that most people don’t know.
· One thing going well in my life is …
· What small achievements or bits of feedback give you disproportionate satisfaction?
· If you had a warning label, what would it say and why?
· When is the last time you laughed till it hurt?
· What’s something you’ve changed your mind about recently?
We will meet once a month for 1.5 to 2 hours. Time and day to be decided by those who are interested.
