Beyond Small Talk: Reading Circle
About the event
A small reading circle by Warm Penguins for people who want their relationships to thrive, not just survive.
Warm Penguins is about helping people build more intentional, connected relationships through conversations, experiences, and small rituals.
Beyond Small Talk is our reading circle where we take one idea about relationships, read it beforehand, and explore it together over a casual discussion.
Every few weeks, we'll meet in a cosy setting over a drink or afternoon tea. There are no lectures, no right or wrong answers, and no pressure to speak. We'll have a few guided questions to help the conversation along, and you're welcome to share your thoughts, listen, or do a bit of both.
The goal is simple: reflect on our own relationships, hear different perspectives, and learn something new together.
This Session's Article: *Want to Improve Your Relationship? Start Paying More Attention to Bids \| Gottman Blog* [https://www.gottman.com/blog/want-to-improve-your-relationship-start-paying-more-attention-to-bids/](https://www.gottman.com/blog/want-to-improve-your-relationship-start-paying-more-attention-to-bids/?utm_source=luma) Please read the article before coming.
Who Is It For? This reading circle is for people who are currently in a relationship and are curious about what makes relationships work well. Whether you come on your own or with your partner, you're equally welcome. You can also bring a friend who is currently in a relationship.
What to Expect We'll keep the group small, with up to 8 people, so there's plenty of room for everyone to participate at their own comfort level. We'll spend about 1.5 hours:
• discussing the article through a few guided questions • sharing different perspectives and personal reflections • enjoying a drink and taking a break from the usual routine
Not a workshop, no right or wrong answers, and no pressure to speak.
