Somewhere along the way, "we should hang out" became a thing people say instead of do.
A playdate is the fix for that. You show up, sometimes not knowing a soul, and a couple of hours later you've made something or seen something and met people who get it. There's no small talk to white-knuckle your way through. The activity breaks the ice for you, so you can skip the part everyone dreads and go straight to the good stuff.
It changes every time. That's the fun of it.
Pasta from scratch, badly, and then eating it anyway.
Drawing in the park, then wandering through a gallery with no agenda.
Forest bathing, which is a fancy way of saying we walk slowly and stay quiet for a while.
A workshop afternoon, a little making, a little journaling, a little sitting in the sound.
A movie nobody else wanted to see with you.
You don't need to bring anyone. Most people don't.
Come as you are, on whatever kind of day you're having, and let it be easy for once. No prep, no pressure, no performing. This is the lighter side of the street, remember.
Get on the list.
I'll send you the details the moment the next playdate hits the calendar.
