Virtual Campfire Social Event: Failure
Thursday, Mar 27th 2025 | 12–1:30PM EST / 4–5:30PM GMT | Online via Zoom
A community discussion on Failure!
Failure is something most of us avoid at all costs, but it’s an inevitable part of the human experience. In this community discussion on failure, we’ll explore how setbacks in careers, relationships, or personal goals can become catalysts for growth when shared openly.
What does it mean to fail?
How much of how we think about failure is inherited from our parents, our society, and our culture at large? What can we learn from experiences of failure, and how can we persist when fear threatens to stop us?
Join us for a discussion about mistakes, decision-making, and the nature of success.
What to expect:
Once a month, we bring together this community for a night of thought-provoking “virtual campfire” conversations about the most tender aspects of the human experience.
At each event, we offer a ‘menu’ of conversation questions designed to catalyze lively discussions between strangers. Each conversation menu has three rounds of questions, and in each round, you’ll have an opportunity to connect with small groups to discuss the prompts. These events are a great way to meet new people and explore fresh perspectives on mental health and the human experience.
