About this Event

We often meet new people in fleeting, surface-level ways: a smile, a quick exchange, a forgettable introduction. But what if those first minutes could be the start of something far more interesting? Join us for an evening of rapid-fire conversations and slow-burning insights. It’s like speed dating, but for friendship, humanity, and honest connection. Over a series of short, face-to-face conversations, you’ll be guided by unusual, thoughtful questions that help bypass small talk and get to what really matters.

It’s not about being impressive, it’s about being open. Interest doesn’t have to be romantic, and a conversation doesn’t have to lead anywhere but insight.

Come along and meet people you might otherwise never cross paths with, and leave with a richer sense of the stories other members carry and perhaps, a few new people you’d like to see again. It’s an evening for anyone curious about others and themselves. All identities welcome. No small talk, no judgment. Just real people and real questions.

Please note: this is an exclusive access event for The School of Life Members. The ticket costs £50, excluding ticket fees and VAT. This event has 40 spaces available. To book both virtual and in-person events, use the event code you receive in your welcome email at checkout.
