Mindful Picnic Talks | 1st Edition 

Sunday, May 11th 2025

Did you ever find yourself at a party, stuck in another round of “So, where are you from?” and wishing for something… deeper.

We’ve all been there. Events can be fun, but let’s be real—how often do they actually lead to real, meaningful connections? Between loud music and busy schedules, it’s not always easy to meet people who truly get you. That’s why we’re switching things up.  

So let's create this space for all of us who crave more than small talk. A space where conversations go beyond the usual and connection happens naturally—without the pressure.  

Join us for the first edition of Mindful Picnic Talks at the Stavros Niarchos Center’s garden (Great Lawn)—a cozy, laid-back gathering where we can actually talk, share, and just be. No awkward networking, no forced intros—just a group of like-minded people looking for real conversations.  

Because let’s face it, making new friendships as an adult—especially in a new country—can be exhausting.   Life gets busy, and the last thing you want is another event where you leave feeling like you just scratched the surface. So let’s skip the small talk, slow down for a bit, and spend an afternoon in good company. Who knows? You might just meet your new favourite people.

Join the event

What to expect?
A relaxed vibe with thoughtful activities to spark deeper chats—no pressure, no awkwardness.
A mood check-in as a starter: How are you really feeling today?
A fun way to introduce yourself—no name, nationality, or job required (because let’s be honest, we’re all so much more than that).
A few surprise prompts designed to bring out meaningful stories, laughs, and maybe even new friendships.

What to bring?
A small blanket so you can sit comfortably
Your favorite snacks—something comforting, nostalgic, or just whatever makes you happy
Your go-to drink (healthy or not—we don’t judge!)

This event is completely FREE!
It’s all about genuine connection, shared stories, and supporting one another.
