Stepping Stones: Taking the Next Steps to Connect with Your Community
May 6 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Come along to a one hour experience to think about what your next step towards connection might be!
There are many different reasons why we might be searching for new social connections. Connection, like food, is a basic human need! When we are hungry, we eat. So what happens when we are feeling a bit disconnected? We can take steps to connect with others.
We know this can be hard to know where to start, so we would love to invite you to a warm and gently structured session to think through what your next step for connecting with others might be.
**We will…**
? think about what our interests are (or what we are interested in trying)
? brainstorm together different community spaces we know to meet people
? plan what a small next connection step might be (all sizes of steps are great!)
**So if you…**
* Feel ready to meet new people and would like some moral support to start
* Are new to Perth and are stuck on where to look
* Are unsure on what interests you can connect over with others
Come along to this short online session ?
**What to expect…**
* Structured conversation and reflection time (about 1 hour)
* Informal chat and further questions (last 30 mins-ish)
**What to bring…**
* Yourself, as you are
* A piece of paper and pen to write on
* An open heart and open mind
**If you have any questions or requests for how this can be comfortable for you, message me on Meetup or email dave@befriend.org.au.**
