Try out Speed Connections — speed dating, minus the dating, designed with & for folks who want to get to know themselves and their neighbours better. Test out and take home a set of original prompts to facilitate meaningful conversation. Gently move through the politeness & social awkwardness that can keep us lonely & apart. Enjoy nibbles and drinks in a warm, non-judgemental, and thoughtful space!

Tickets are on a sliding scale from $5-70, and include snacks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and a card deck for you to take home! Your ticket helps to support community-driven research & development. In these uncertain geopolitical times, we are testing ways to diversify resources for transformative work.
