Talking to Strangers: Live Practice Session

Do you find it uncomfortable meeting new people? We've all been there. This is a simple, structured space to practice one thing: getting comfortable talking to someone you've never met before. No pressure. No performance. No expectations. Just real conversations with real people. --- What to expect We'll keep things light and practical. * You'll be paired with another participant in a breakout room * Each conversation lasts about 10 minutes * Then you'll switch and meet someone new By the end of the session, you'll have spoken with several different people. --- How it works The goal is not to impress or "get it right." It's simply to: * get words out of your mouth * stay present in a conversation * get more comfortable starting and continuing interactions If the conversation stalls, you'll have a few simple prompts to help keep things moving - but feel free to let it flow naturally. --- A quick note on boundaries This is a practice space for conversation skills, not a dating or networking event. * Keep interactions respectful and low-pressure * No need to share personal details or contact information * If a question or topic doesn't feel right, simply steer the conversation elsewhere --- Who this is for * If you sometimes feel unsure how to start a conversation * If you find small talk awkward or draining * If you just want a low-stakes way to meet new people You're in the right place. --- Come as you are. You don't need to prepare anything. Just show up and be willing to try.
