What to Expect

Beyond Small talksHave you ever wondered why making friends seemed so easy when we were younger, yet becomes much more challenging as adults?
Many of us came to Chiang Mai searching for something more—a fresh start, greater freedom, meaningful relationships, adventure, purpose, or simply a place where we feel we belong. Yet despite living in one of the most welcoming cities in the world, many adults still struggle with loneliness, building new friendships, or finding genuine connections.
Join us for an evening of meaningful conversations, laughter, self-discovery, and connection as we explore:
✅ Why making friends as adults is harder than we expected
✅ What prevents us from building deeper connections
✅ How to find "our tribe" in a new city
✅ The habits and mindsets that attract meaningful friendships
✅ How vulnerability, authenticity, and curiosity create lasting bonds
This is not a lecture.
Expect fun interactive exercises, group discussions, movement activities, self-reflection, and opportunities to connect with amazing people from around the world.
Whether you're a retiree, digital nomad, entrepreneur, artist, traveler, or long-term resident, this evening is designed to help you build stronger friendships and a greater sense of belonging.
Because life is better when shared with good people.
