About this Event
Maybe you have felt it, too.
You meet plenty of people in Orlando, but not always the people who want to go beyond small talk.
People who are curious about why we think, feel, choose, connect, and change. People who enjoy big ideas, but care just as much about empathy, self-awareness, and becoming better humans.
This evening was created to help those people find one another.
Join us at Aloft by Marriot in Lake Nona for a relaxed social gathering centered on psychology, sociology, philosophy, human behavior, emotional intelligence, relationships, purpose, and personal growth.
There is no lecture and no pressure to “work the room.” Just thoughtful people, a beautiful setting, and conversations that can actually go somewhere.
WHAT TO EXPECT
• A warm welcome and a few optional conversation prompts
• Space to connect individually and in small groups
• A thoughtful mix of ideas, life experience, humor, and genuine human connection
YOU MAY ENJOY THIS EVENING IF YOU:
• Often wonder why people think, feel, and behave the way they do
• Love psycholgy, philosophy, personal development, myers-briggs, enneagram
• Enjoy learning, reflection, and seeing life from new perspectives
• Value both intellectual curiosity and emotional intelligence
• Care about becoming more self-aware, intentional, and open-minded
• Want to meet more thoughtful, motivated, and growth-oriented people in Orlando
Come alone or bring a friend.
You do not need special credentials, expertise, or a perfectly polished opinion. Curiosity matters more than credentials. Thoughtful listening matters just as much as speaking.
This is a friendship and community gathering. It is not a dating event, debate competition, or business networking mixer. Please come to connect, not to sell.
