These structured, participatory events are all about connection. They're fun. And surprising. And weird! And real.
About this Event

http://www.thenotcreepygathering.com/



This event is designed specifically for the 40+ community, but we have other events coming up:

7/14 for 20s-40s

8/4 for everyone



Are you a f***ing amazing person who just wants to meet another f***ing amazing person?

This event is for you!


Wanna know what it would look like if an artist came up with an antidote to cruise-y bar scenes and soulless dating apps?

Come find out!


What if I'm gay?

That's great! This event is not just for straight people.


Are you scared?

It's okay. Me, too. Let's be scared together.

This structured indoor event is not about scrolling and swiping and making snap decisions based solely on physical appearance. This event is about being open enough to see each other's humanity.

You might meet your new boo! Or you might not. You might meet your new bestie or protest buddy. Or you might just leave feeling more connected to your community and more connected to yourself.

Bring a notebook!

From past attendees:

"This is like benevolent counter-culture."

"You made a potentially awkward night super fun!"

"I left feeling more connected to my community and more connected to myself."

“I so appreciate you holding this space, and bringing depth, light-heartedness and hope to so many people.”

“Thank you SO much for organizing the event. It was a lot of fun, and I even left to grab drinks after with a new friend!”

"A heart-felt thank you for the invitation and space to be safely me. Thanks to your helpful crew, too! Let’s keep doing this good work--the world needs us!”
