"What is Normal?"
You are warmly invited into dialogue with Amie Shepherdson, our local organizer, and all who attend to discuss different topics each week while exploring some deeper questions along the way.
New to Coffee & Conversation? Watch our video.
Come on out for this week’s topic: "What is Normal?" to meet Amie, smile, laugh, chat, and enjoy the ambiance of this quaint little coffee shop together.
Questions to help with the discussion:
- What is your definition of normal?
- What is a normal weekday and a normal weekend for you?
- What is the difference between being normal and being average?
- Do you walk the line of being "normal" vs. being yourself and if so, how?
- In what places, or with which people, do you feel you can most be yourself?
- In what ways do you make a safe space for others to be themselves around you?
In this safe, inclusive, casual, and accepting environment, dialogue is encouraged over debate as each person has opportunity to share from their own diverse perspectives and experiences.
Folks in this group enjoy going beyond small talk, reflecting both inward and outward, helping build pathways for more peace and understanding in the world... and your voice matters!
No particular set of beliefs (or creed) is required to be a part of this community-building activity. Diverse perspectives are welcome.
Whether to discover yourself amidst a community on a common journey or to find meaning among new friends, there is room at the table for you.
