South Bay Deep Chats

A group chat you actually want to be in.

This is a space for kindred spirits—people who crave more than small talk. We're here to build something real: community rooted in honesty, curiosity, support and care. Whether you're unpacking the beautiful, messy, complex parts of life or simply showing up as you are, you're welcome here.

This community is specifically for young adults in their 20s and 30s to be supported in this stage of life. If you are a young adult and find yourself asking, how do I make friends outside of school and work? This is for you. If you have always felt a little different from your peers or family, this is for you. We welcome folks who identify as LGBTQ+, neurodivergent (ADHD, autism, etc.), introverted, creative and allies. Come share your story, listen, and be heard— no performance, no pressure. Just real people, real talk, and room to grow together.

We meet every other Wednesday from 7-9 PM at Jiaren Cafe in Santa Clara. This event is between $18-25. If you bring a friend, their price is half off. The price includes:

• a drink from the cafe
• snacks
• meeting like-minded people
• an engaging, facilitated discussion

We are happy to partner with Jiaren Cafe by using the space and buying drinks. This group is program of our business,Kindred.

Kindred is dedicated to creating safe and meaningful spaces for connection and creativity. We cultivate community through in-person events and programs that:

• Encourage deep conversations
• Inspire storytelling, art and media
• Facilitate practices for healing and empowerment

Let's build this community together!
