Leap - Conversations for Curious Minds

New York, NY

Leap is an exciting new platform that gets people talking via conversations in small groups. At Leap, we host bite-size conversations which take place over video calls in small groups. Group numbers are kept purposefully small to mirror the intimacy of the interactions that take place in real life.

Members can choose from a selection of topics, taking place at different times throughout the day, and jump in – in the same way that they might jump into a coffee shop or hairdressers and strike up a conversation. The conversation topics themselves are varied and interesting, but most of them share a common thread – they are designed to prompt conversation and they motivate the sharing of stories and anecdotes.

Academic Writing Group

New York, NY

Ph.D students, Post-Docs, and early career professors working on their writing projects. We write in solidarity, along side one another, in quiet co-working sessions. The group normally meets in person but now (due to COVID), we write together on ZOOM. 

We meet and write, usually for 3 hours, taking short 5-minute breaks every 50/60' of continuous writing.

Join us to defeat the sense of isolation academia entails. In our writing group, we support each others' goals and increase our productivity! And we drink a lot of coffee ☕️ as well, of course!!!

**The group is restricted to people working in academia (PhD students/candidates/post-docs/professors)

**Note: The writing group does not provide feedback on your writing (proofreading, works-in-progress, etc.) we use the time to actually write in solidarity!!

Bright and Beautiful Ladies in NY (30’s to 50's)

New York, NY

Ladies! We are adventurous, imaginative, enthusiastic women in their 30’s to 50's who are insatiably curious about the people and places that make up NY. If you are open-minded, inclusive and ready to make new friends, you just found your tribe!

Together, we’ll deep-dive into arts, music, dance, comedy, history, architecture, variety arts, craft fairs, antique districts, flea markets, local festivals, and all manner of culture and counterculture. Of course, we’ll find fun and fabulous places to eat and drink along our way. We want our activities to be as varied as our membership.

So come join us! There’s a world of new friends here that can’t wait to meet you!

A few comments:

And your ideas are always welcome! YOU can be an event organizer! We're always happy to help you make your event sparkle!

Some events will be free. But for others, we may ask for a small fee to cover Meetup expenses. Some events may have limits on the number of people the venue will allow. But we’ll always try to have a waitlist.

A few rules to remember:

For the safety of all our members, we require a clear profile photo.

If you RSVP and then don’t cancel more than 24 hours before at 2 events, we’ll have to show you out of the group for 2 months. But that won’t happen because you’ll update your RSVPs and cancel with at least 24 hours notice! Right?

And if you RSVP and we never see you that’s a NO SHOW. 2 no-shows and we will remove you from the group for 6 months.

No-shows and Last-minute cancellations put our ability to book terrific venues at risk! Your event organizers and sister members will appreciate your courtesy especially when there's a wait list.

Be kind and welcoming to everyone you meet here. We ask that you never contact group members you haven’t met in person. Don’t send group emails for any reason. Be respectful in the comments.
