Did you know that nearly 1 in 4 Americans say they have no one they can talk to about personal or meaningful topics?According to a national survey, social connection skills—like listening, holding conversation, and building trust—are declining rapidly, especially among adults navigating creative or entrepreneurial paths alone.
We’re not just facing an epidemic of loneliness.We’re facing a crisis of disconnection—and many of us were never taught how to bridge that gap.
That’s why this gathering exists.
The Creative Networking Circle is a relaxed and intentional space for artists, creatives, and solo entrepreneurs or anyone who want to meet others without the pressure of traditional networking environments.It’s not about pitching yourself—it’s about practicing connection.
We’ll guide you through lighthearted icebreakers and reflective conversation prompts designed to ease anxiety and open meaningful dialogue.You'll also experience a grounding sound bath led by Ingrid B., a holistic health practitioner, to help settle your nervous system and leave you feeling both connected and at ease.
