Muslim converts can play an essential role in correcting the inaccurate perceptions about Islam as a religion.

Leap: Curiosity meets conversation

Carlstadt, NJ

Leap is an invitation to good conversation. We set the stage by picking topics that get people talking, we schedule the time and date and we bring the guests. All you need to do is show up - and that’s easy because all conversations all happen over video—on your phone or computer. And don’t worry, we’ll always be there to welcome you in and make sure everything is going to plan. This is a conversation, not a party, so we keep group sizes really small (under five people) and we don’t go on all night. In fact, every chat is just 20 minutes long. Once you've tried out a chat or two, we hope you’ll join us at [leapchats.com](http://leapchats.com) to access all of our latest bitesize conversations. Joining Leap is free and there is no limit on the number of conversations you can take part in! Here's what to expect in a Leap conversation: 1. Join the conversation via Zoom with your video on — the Leap Leader will be there to greet you and kick things off. Be sure you’re logged into your Zoom account before joining: [https://zoom.us/signin](https://zoom.us/signin) 2. The Leap Leader will share the conversation prompt and assign you to a breakout room with four other people 3. Start chatting – you'll have 15 minutes to swap stories, share your thoughts and connect with the people in your group 4. Rejoin the full group for a quick closing and goodbye

New York Narcissistic Abuse, CPTSD & Codependency Support

New York, NY

Please consider joining our sister group at: https://www.meetup.com/pittsburgh-narcissism-survivor-meetup-group/ for more daily meetings, workshops and consistent support and validation. We are a group for people who have suffered or are suffering from Narcissistic Abuse in a love or personal relationship. We will discuss and encourage sharing of our experiences, talk about trauma bonding and how to break the cycle. Most importantly, we will share our communal experience and provide support by listening and sharing our what we've gone through so that all attendees know that they are not alone. Please read this message carefully: Before signing up to any meeting in this group, you MUST attend a First Timers Meeting event. There are NO exceptions to this. These meetings are designed to ensure community safety and if you sign up for an Established Member event without attending one, you will be removed from that event. Before you do anything else, including signing up for an Established Members group, check out our "Events" section and sign up for a First Timers Group and attend one BEFORE you sign up for an Established Member meeting. We are very strict about this rule, so please do so as we hate to remove people from meetings and have to send a PM advising someone of this rule. All meetings are run through Zoom. The links and passwords are reset every day. The links are all sent the morning of the meetings. You will receive your link through whatever email you use through Meetup. Please ensure you have your settings with Meetup set to receive emails as they will come in through that email. If you sign up for a meeting, please check you have received your link well before the meeting as we do not check our emails during meetings. It is your responsibility to check that you have received your link - if you haven't received it and it's before meeting time, simply send your organizer (Kay R., Paige, Roby or Anthony) a PM and we will ensure you receive it. Some more general rules that will be reviewed in your First Timer's Meeting: DO NOT private message moderators/organizers unless you have a question regarding the group as a whole, or you didn't receive a link to the meeting. DO NOT message us for medical, legal, or general advice, and do not contact us to vent. We understand that times are tough and this is not an easy situation to deal with, but we are all running this group on a volunteer basis, and we do not have any medical or counseling degrees. If there is an emergency please call 911, contact your local police, hospital, or physician. There is also a domestic violence hotline (800.799.SAFE) and a suicide hotline (800-273-8255) - these are free 24 hour services. We appreciate your understanding in advance. DO NOT private message other members of the group. Again, this is an exception to the rule above, but if you see someone in a meeting you'd like to reach out to, please send the organizer of that meeting a message and we will ask that person if they consent to being contacted and will pass on your info to them. If a member tells you during a meeting to reach out to them, that is OK as they have consented already. This is for the safety of our members, which we take very seriously. We are happy you are here and hope you find this a supportive community. All of the rules are above are to ensure that you are safe and that the people you will be interacting with are validating, here for the 'right reasons', and are properly vetted. We look forward to meeting you! x Kay R.

Double Talkers: 2 Become Bilingual

New York, NY

**Please Note: We are recruiting more volunteer hosts and co-hosts at this time.** Co-hosting requires no teaching experience, and you don't have to be fully bilingual in the "other" language. Send us a message to find out more! **What does this Meetup do?:** While there are currently increasing resources for children to become bilingual, there are fewer for adults, especially "in community." Double Talkers is here to bridge that gap. Our events are always dual language with a minimum of two co-hosts, one fluent in each language. **Who should join?:** **English speakers who want to learn another language** **Anyone who wants to** **improve their English** Join us if you are flexible and can laugh at your own mistakes. We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we take bilingualism very seriously. It's never too late to learn to communicate better in another language! **Answers to FAQ:** 1\. Who sponsors Double Talkers? Both Double Talkers (and Lingo Parlor) are online language learning communities on Meetup.com and supported by Parlay Vacay: English Immersion Weekends and Online Coaching. Visit ParlayVacay.com 2\. What if I can't speak my target language yet? Can I still participate? Participants can speak either language or mix the two languages (even in the same sentence) while participating in the activities. If you know only one of the two languages, you may use it until you can begin mixing it with the other. It's all part of the journey to become bilingual together. 3\. How should I prepare to participate in an event? You don't need to do or study anything before an event (unless that is mentioned in the event description). Come ready to play and learn from others as well as willing to help others learn. Make sure your device has enough power or is connected to a power source, your camera and microphone are working, and your Internet connection is good enough to have a conversation without any noticeable delay. Wearing a listening/speaking device (earphones, buds, microphone, etc.) with noise cancelling is better if you must participate while in a noisy environment. **Please Note:** Double Talkers is not a romance-seeking or dating-focused group, so please refrain from contacting or approaching our members for these purposes. Thank you.
