Bubble Tea and Big Ideas @The Asian Market

Join us for Bubble Tea & Big Ideas....a secular meet-up for people who enjoy meaningful conversation, good company, and trying new foods. We gather inside the food court of the Asian market, where you can grab bubble tea, a bánh mì, a sweet from the bakery or a small savory dinner before settling in. IMPORTANT UPDATE: **Bubble Tea & Big Ideas is capped at 12 participants and often has a long waitlist. To keep things fair, you are required to update your RSVP ASAP if your plans change so others can attend. Members who RSVP “yes” and do not show up without updating their RSVP more than twice may not be able to attend future events.** Each month, we explore a different theme or question that helps us connect more intentionally and get to know one another beyond small talk. All perspectives are welcome, as long as they’re kind, curious, and respectful. *“Hope as a Practice” real, grounded hope, not toxic positivity or naive optimism. Questions: • What are the small things that give you hope right now? • How do you stay grounded without becoming cynical? • What does evidence-based hope look like? (The market closes promptly at 8:00pm) 6:15 – 6:30 PM • Arrive, grab food or drinks, find a seat. • Light chatting and settling in. 6:30 – 6:35 PM • Quick welcome and introduction to the theme/question of the night. 6:40 – 7:20 PM • small table conversations (4 people at each table). • Optional share-outs. 7:30 PM • Wrap-up conversation + any final thoughts. • Time to grab final snacks or exchange contact info. • Pack up, clean up and say goodbyes
