Monday Cuppa: 🫖 A Neurodivergent-friendly Hangout

**🎟️ RSVP Required 🎟️** (Just 8 Spots!) **Join us for a morning of low-pressure conversation and easygoing company**. This is a comfortable space to connect with great people who prefer genuine, engaging conversation over small talk. Whether you want to dive deep into big ideas or just enjoy a casual chat, you’re welcome here—just as you are! ☺️ We keep this event on the smaller side (just 6-8 people) making it easy for conversation to flow. Come join us! ☕ ⚠️ NOTE: **The Clever Cup Coffee Shop** is a new location for us (just down the street from Coastal Grind, which is closed Mondays)—recommend using your GPS! 🗺️ * Tired of masking? Need a break from explaining yourself? This meetup is for adults with Social Anxiety, ADHD, or Autism who want to connect with others who "get it." **As Always:** * No pressure to be "on" or perform to social norms. * Conversations that can jump topics—we love tangents! * Acceptance of stimming, room to be your authentic self. **🦋 What to Expect:** * ☕ **Cafe Purchase:** Cafe tables are for patrons—we don't charge an event fee, but a cafe purchase is required to attend. Please, no outside food or drinks. * 🪪 **Adults Only Please:** This event is designed for adults 21 and over with low-support needs who can attend independently. 👩🏿‍🤝‍👨🏼👨🏾‍🤝‍👨🏻👫👩🏿‍🤝‍👨🏼👭👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏾👫👨🏻‍🤝‍👨🏿👩🏿‍🤝‍👨🏼👩🏼‍🤝‍👨🏻👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏾👩🏼‍🤝‍👩🏿👩🏿‍🤝‍👨🏼👫 **✅ One Rule:** Our group is about light-hearted stress-free (platonic) socializing; Let's focus on uplifting, casual topics! 🪷🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏾🧘🧘🏻🪷 💡 **IMPORTANT:** * This is a social meetup—we're not a mental health support group. Just a comfy place to connect. 😃 ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ 🔍 **The Fine Print (Our Attendance Policy):** * To keep things fair for everyone and protect spots for those eager to show up, hosts review event attendance. * We do not issue automatic bans for a first no-show offense. Instead, to keep our RSVP process running smoothly and to be fair to those eager to attend, the account is placed on **standby status**. * Removal from events and waitlists for no-shows and chronic or last-minute cancellations will be at the host's discretion. * While we may consider certain circumstances, our focus is preserving open spots for those eager and able to attend, ensuring fairness for the entire group. **✨ Standby Status ✨** * A **no-show** is when attendees miss an event without proper cancellation. Canceling within 24 hours of event time is also considered a **no-show**. * A no-show offense, late cancellation, or chronic cancellation can move your account to **standby status**, meaning any future RSVPs you make will be removed. * When this happens, you may direct message the Co-host, Janna A, within 2 hours of an event to check for unbooked seats. * If a spot is open, you will be manually added to the event. **If no spot is open, there will be no reply—meaning you should not attend the event**. Standby status gives members a clear path to still attend future events by filling late cancellations or unbooked seats, without risking another empty spot on our roster. We genuinely want everyone to be able to attend. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Do you have **social anxiety**? Are you struggling with having conversations?
