SEE UPCOMING DATES
The Connection Movement has been helping people cultivate meaningful relationships for more than a decade. Our Connection Labs are welcoming, fun, low-pressure interactive social events that playfully invite us beneath the surface, support getting real and fostering connection – whether friendly, romantic or professional.
What to expect at a Connection Lab –
A Connection Lab host will facilitate a social and fun exploration of connection through games, conversations and exercises that foster ways of seeing + connecting + appreciating yourself and others at a deeper level. There will be a range of experiences that include standing, sitting, moving through the space. Dress comfortably. The group will sometimes break into pairs or small groups (no it doesn’t feel like 3rd grade gym class waiting to be picked!) Some aspects may feel nostalgic (we’ve got a really fun twist on rock-paper-scissors that is requested often), some may remind you of improv or acting classes, some may remind you of summer camp, and many games and exercises are likely to be altogether new to you. Everything is voluntary and you’ll be encouraged to choose your own adventure.
You can expect to have fun, turn strangers into friends, connect more deeply with folks you may already know. And, cuz we’re Jedi facilitators, you’ll also walk away with new tools and insights for better relating in all areas of your life!
You belong here if…
… you want to engage meaningfully with new folks and skip the small talk
… you want to expand your social group or find your people
… you want to socialize outside of the bar-scene
… you’re craving being accepted, heard and seen and giving that gift to others
… you want to grow your emotional and relational intelligence
… you are interested in relating better with those in your life, including friends, children, parents, partners and co-workers.
THIS INTERACTIVE EVENING IS INCLUSIVE AND WE WELCOME…
– all genders and orientations
– all religions, ethnicities, races
– all relationship status (come solo, come with a partner, come looking for a partner…)
– all ages 18 and older
