Explore why face to face connection still matters in a digital world through reflection, community, and meaningful conversation at Brooklyn
About this Event

In an age where screens and scrolls dominate our days, something quietly remarkable happens when people gather in the same physical space. This gathering invites you to explore why face-to-face interaction still matters deeply—not just for our mental well-being, but for the health of our communities, our civic life, and our sense of belonging.

Join us live at Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture (269 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215) or online via Zoom as we dive into the subtle power of real-world connection. Whether you’re curious about community building, craving deeper dialogue, or just want to hang out with thoughtful people who care about human connection, this event is for you. bsec.org

Our speaker, Peter Endriss, brings a uniquely rich perspective shaped by a winding journey from engineering to food service to social engagement, now serving as Executive Director of Community Help in Park Slope (CHiPS). Peter’s story and insights help illuminate why gathering in person isn’t just old-fashioned—it’s essential.

Expect an engaging conversation rooted in real-life experience, thoughtful reflection, and room for connection with others who care about what it means to be truly present with one another.

What you’ll walk away with:

  • A deeper understanding of the role human connection plays in our lives
  • Ideas for fostering real relationship spaces in your own world
  • A sense of community in a world that often feels digitally distant
