About this Event

TENDR

A social experience for people who have been through something.

Grief, heartbreak, endings, identity shake-ups, life not going to plan. That broad human category.

Structured enough to be useful. Loose enough to feel human.

Good room. Good people. Better than staying home wondering if everyone else has it figured out.

Come solo or bring a friend.

Wine, zero-proof drinks, and light food available by donation.

What happens there

We’ll guide the room through conversation designed for actual adults.

You can talk. You can listen. You can meet someone who understands faster than expected.

No need to be polished. No need to turn your pain into a TED Talk.


Before You Overthink It

  1. No trust falls.
  2. No performative vulnerability.
  3. No need to be charming.
  4. You may simply attend and listen.

No refunds :)

develops ideas, experiences, and strategy that bring more depth and intention into public life.

is the live expression of that work — structured social experiences for people tired of shallow formats and awkward rooms.
