We all say we have values. **Authenticity**, loyalty, kindness, **freedom**, the words come easily. But what happens when they cost us something? When two of them pull in opposite directions? When the way we actually live doesn't quite match the way we'd describe ourselves? In this event, we look at what we really stand for. 🧭 This is an honest event, so come ready to think openly, listen generously, and share as much or as little as feels right for you. 💬 **Staying in touch** Interested in finding out about all the events sooner than on Meetup or staying in touch beyond the events, you can join our WhatsApp channel and community using 👉🏽 [Deeper Connections WhatsApp Channel](https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb6CBAdIN9ijrEYdv33z) 👉🏽 [Deeper Connections WhatsApp Community](https://chat.whatsapp.com/EqGsmF3021RKTwBpGcuR80) **How to get the best out of this event?** **• Respect:** While we explore cultures, this event is not a space for debating but about learning and understanding. No judgement on how different cultures and beliefs shape people’s lives. 🙏🌍 • **Be open:** We aim to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for members from all cultures. You can help by keeping an open mind. 🤗🧠 • **Share:** Feel free to share your own cultural traditions. Everyone’s perspective is valued, and all stories are welcome. 🗣️🎉 **Why values?** 💡 Most of us have never actually chosen our values. We absorbed them, from parents, culture, faith, the people around us, and carried them for years without ever stopping to ask if they're truly ours. And there's often a quiet gap between the values we claim and the ones our calendars and choices reveal. 🌗 We will look at that gap, together, with warmth and a bit of honesty. Not to judge anyone, but to understand ourselves and each other a little better. **Who is it for?** 👀 * You're curious about what you actually stand for, underneath the easy words * You want conversation that gets past everyone's polished version of themselves * Y
