Make New Friends Meetup Group

Join us for the last happy hour of 2024, and 🎉 celebrate the holidays with new friends!

Come early to enjoy Rayback's drink specials until 5pm, and stick around to meet good people, make good conversation, and enjoy good beverages. Feel free to wear your holiday garb.

Whether you're new to Colorado, a longtime resident, a returnee, or just visiting the area, you're 👋 welcome!

We understand some folks feel anxious about meeting new people or find it awkward going to an event alone. If that describes you, please introduce yourself to us so we can extend a warm welcome and 🤗 connect you with others. We'll do our best to make you feel comfortable.

As always, we’ll be near the front door...outside if the weather is pleasant, inside if it's not. Look for people with name tags.

See you there!

Make new friends and experience personal growth at this invigorating morning meetup!

Ever since the pandemic, more and more people seem to be struggling to:

• make big or hard decisions
• figure out "what's next"
• find purpose on a daily basis
• discover how to grow personally
• build meaningful relationships

One of the ways to address these struggles is to gain greater clarity with our core values and purpose statements, and then use them as a roadmap to navigate life.

At this workshop-style meetup, we're going to blend a little learning, a little self-reflection, and a lot of conversation to help each other build greater personal clarity.

Please bring a notebook and pen, arrive on time, get your beverage at Gracia Coffee when you walk in, and join us at the community tables inside Rosetta Hall.

We'll start at 8:45am sharp, and then here's how the morning will unfold:

1. introduce ourselves briefly with our current values and/or life purpose statements
2. discuss how and why detailed versions of those statements help provide more clarity
3. write new or updated personal values and purpose statements
4. join a small group to share them and get suggestions for improvement
5. make new friends with those who have aligned values and/or purpose statements
