Skip the Small Talk Social Club 55+

Skip the Small Talk Social Club is a space for real connection — the kind that doesn’t require pretending or performing. Through guided conversation and simple movement, you’ll meet thoughtful, open-hearted people and explore what it feels like to belong. Come as you are. Leave a little more connected.

Skip the Small Talk is led by Fran Bouwman.
