The Deep Talk Picnic

**RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/vi2HI54sCLYV7zFzSjhQ **FREE for Early Bird | $ Later on** *Most social gatherings end with a handful of shallow pleasantries and no real connection. This one ends differently.* You will spend an hour in genuine one-on-one conversations with people seeking meaningful social connection beyond work and networking. There is no awkward mingling or wondering who to approach next. Instead of surface-level small talk and networking-style questions that lead to forgettable interactions, you pick your favorite people from the rounds and share a communal meal on a giant blanket area and use conversation cards to spark deep discussions. Same afternoon. No follow-up texts. No scheduling headaches. Just real conversation that turns into a real plan — with people you already vibe with. By the time the sun starts to set, you've shared a meal and real stories with a new group of friends who know the real you. Maybe this becomes your monthly deep-connection picnic crew. Maybe it's just a great afternoon. Either way, you're not doing it alone. BYOB (blanket) & bring a dish to share. People bring blankets and we place them next to each other on the grass, creating one large communal picnic area.
