Did you know loneliness is as lethal as smoking 15 cigarettes per day?

It’s quite possible to feel lonely even when you're around people and, the last two years have left us feeling isolated and lonely leading to many negative impacts on our health. 

So, here’s a chance to reconnect and take steps to improve your health and social connections.

Our Format

We don't talk about our jobs

For most of us, the second or third question is - "So what do you do?" We need to have an identity beyond our designations, money, or our family. It would be interesting if we avoided these questions - and talked about our interests and who we are.

No small-talk

A 'No Bullshit policy' where we don't do small talk. Where you have conversations without pretense or political correctness and where, when you don't want to talk about something, you just say "I don't want to" instead of employing some random BS to avoid.

Respect

Please be respectful towards other attendees, even if you strongly disagree with them. Also, be conscious of the details you share with others. We do not share your data with any 3rd party and any communication will only be regarding any such events or similar platforms.

Deep philosophical stuff- to pretty much all that matters

Not deep philosophical stuff only, but all that matters - from first love to dreams to inane but brilliant movies to weird experiences - let's hear them!

No distractions, especially digital ones.

While this is a virtual meetup, and we are all for freedom of choice, but we should be able to have 'real conversations' without constantly scrolling through our Facebook or other digital distractions.

The event link will be shared approximately one day before the event. In case it is not received, ping us on https://twitter.com/CandidConversat.
