The Connection Experiment: Relationship Edition (Oct 17, Online)

The Story

We are hosting an evening of real conversation, and this time we're testing a themed night: a conversation about **the people in our lives and how we show up for them.** Not just romantic partners. Friends, family, coworkers, or even the AI we talk to. This is a space for reflection, not advice. We're here to **notice ourselves a little more attentively, with a stranger who is doing the same.** Since our first online session in August, over 500 people have signed up for our events, and most of the room stayed past the official end just to keep talking. **What to Expect 🪑** You'll spend 1 hour with a small group in paired video conversations.

Start anywhere, skip anything that doesn't feel right. **A taste of the questions 💬** We'll look at the small, honest details, with both light and deep questions to choose from: * *Who was your best friend when you were a kid? Are you still in touch?* * *What's your "tell" when you're annoyed? What could the other person do to make you feel better?* * *What's a "no" you received that turned out to be a gift?* **Why We're Gathering 🌱** In a world where we're more "connected" than ever, genuine conversation has become surprisingly rare. This isn't about networking, professional development, or problem-solving. It's about something simpler and more nourishing: the experience of truly listening and being heard. This is what some of our past attendees said: * *"I signed up just to kill some time, and I was pleasantly surprised."* * *"Very easy to turn a stranger into a friend"* * *"I don't have anybody to tell my day to.
