About the event
The Lantern Project: Guided Conversations for Connection & Community
When was the last time you sat across from someone you didn’t know and had a conversation that went beyond small talk?
The Lantern Project creates thoughtfully hosted experiences that make it easier for people to meet, listen, reflect, and connect. For our first gathering, we’ll meet at Helena’s Café for an afternoon built around something remarkably simple: two people, a table, a few good questions, and time to actually listen to one another.
What to Expect
From 12:30–1:00 PM, arrive, settle in, and enjoy light food and drinks provided for participants.
At 1:00 PM, we’ll begin with a brief welcome and explanation of how the experience works. You’ll then have two guided one-on-one conversations during the hour, meeting a different person for each.
