We all crave a sense of belonging. We also want to meet strangers and have meaningful conversations. And that’s what prompted us to open our cute little space for people. Me, my spouse and my friends wanted to create a safe space for meaningful conversations. This was our first community meet-up at our home in Cooke Town on June 10th, 2023. Initially we were anxious, hesitant and unsure before starting this. However, twelve people registered for it both days and four people attended the meet-up on the first day. We had to cancel the second day’s meet-up because some people fell sick.
It is often said that a conversation can change your life. That’s what we want to achieve. At our first community meet-up, we had meaningful and fun conversations. Attendees talked about the different books they were reading. Then some innovative prompts about how we all are feeling and what we are doing to tackle it, led us to discuss the choices we are making in our current lives. People spoke deeply about their lives and the difficult choices they have made in the last few years. How they are challenging their echo chamber by meeting people from different backgrounds.
Having a quiet space with like-minded people to talk about their fears, choices, vulnerabilities and much more provides ठहराव in our lives for a few moments.
