The Zen Circle (20s-30s women)

🌿 Zen Garden Quest ☕🧩 Hey everyone, I’m hosting another get-together on Saturday 18th April at 2pm at Café Joni in the Botanical Gardens. We’ll start with a coffee and a bit of a catch-up, then head out into the gardens to follow the Riddle Trail - there are already clues hidden around the park that guide you from one spot to another, helping you explore different parts of the gardens in a fun, relaxed way. It’s super chilled way to wander, solve a few riddles together, and enjoy being outside. Come along if you fancy something simple, meeting good people, and a slow Saturday afternoon in nature.

Welcome to the Childfree by choice Friends in Sheffield meetup!

This group is inclusive, but some parents or people who are childless not by choice may find it isn't for them. No under 18s are allowed for obvious reasons. if you have any questions or concerns drop me (Kerry) a message. People that regularly do not update their invites/don't show to events will be put to non-priority and kept on a waiting list. Our hosts organise events for free, in their time, at their own cost.

Socially Awkward Together – for Introverts & Anxious Humans

for Introverts & Anxious Humans

Come sit awkwardly with us at our monthly Doncaster meetup for weird, introverted, socially anxious humans 😅 (we keep the groups small) The location is The Mallard (Frenchgate), which is wheelchair accessible, but If you have any additional accessibility requirements, please let us know in advance. Please avoid eye contact with other members whenever possible. Being weird and socially awkward is highly desirable (but not required). Mumbling, overthinking what to say, and struggling to speak out loud are all perfectly normal forms of communication here. Bonus points if you work in IT, freelance from home, and regularly go 3+ days without speaking to another human. No expectations to do anything - just come round and sit quietly, or chat to another socially awkward person, or stare at your phone all evening, or leave without saying goodbye if you start feeling uncomfortable. Whatever you choose is completely fine. We only have one rule: treat others with kindness and respect. If someone seems a little nervous, please be nice to them. For anyone who does want to talk, we’ll have the “A Little More Conversation” card game. It’s very simple - just pick a card and answer one of the three questions. No matter your background, age, or level of social anxiety, you’re welcome here 💙 P.S. If all spots are taken, feel free to join the waiting list. If there is someone you wish to bring with you, please encourage them to create a Meetup profile and sign up to the event themselves.

Sheffield Real Friends and Behavioural Science

A group that brings together and attracts like-minded intellectuals that question things in life - a place to form real, genuine connections. We are a very genuine, authentic, kind, and friendly group where we do what we say. The events are what they stand for and only those very discussions take place. No hidden intentions, very clean, positive and contagious energy. We all live busy, often stressful lives and time is super precious. This group is to eliminate anything bad that is perceived through the senses, even for a while. We often take out what we take in. Yes, it's true! Please come prepared to have real, good quality conversation and be able to speak without feeling any awkwardness. If you are shy, please don’t be shy before coming. It’s not necessary to speak or have the loudest voice in the room. Note - Please don't come here to derogate, demean, laugh and constantly poke fun at each other. The host reserves the right to remove people who deem inappropriate for the clean and positive environment we'll be creating. Confidentiality and privacy is the core element of the group here. If you're unable to RSVP, please leave a text if you'd like to attend. When there are at least three RSVPs or interest to attend, the call will commence for that day. For those showing interest without the RSVPs, the host will inform them. However, we'll have the event for a shorter duration for somewhere around five minutes per person.
