Board Games Social Recharge!
Take a break from life and recharge through the fun and connection of board games! For my Markham peeps this time! (And those who want to travel :))
...
This month's intention: Recharge!
(Rejuvenation, in line with Spring!)
I hope this month's board game event will act as a sort of de-stresser & relaxation, recharge & rejuvenation for you.
I know what drains a lot of my energy personally is performance pressure. This is where it's not about the process, it's about the results. You have to get results. Deadlines must be met, tasks must be performed, dinner must be cooked. Sometimes it feels like there's no space to just relax and not have to ‘do’ for once! Where can you let yourself off the performance hook?
So let's spend some time together ‘in the now’, present, and enter into a group flow play state where you don't have to worry about anything else for 3 hours. There's no way you need to show up or present yourself, and no results that need to be achieved, you can just have fun and play for its own sake. Come laugh, learn new games, and meet new people!
De-stress, relax and recharge
Try out new & fun modern board games
Engaging conversations with new people
...
This stays the same each event
3 games over 3 hours, and potentially a mystery ‘activity’ substituted in, at my discretion, at your surprise :)
7 or 8 ppl max, + me
No prior board gaming experience necessary. I teach all games, and they never go over 2/10 difficulty. Easy to learn, and fun to play! Very accessible. New games each event.
We're all casual gamers here. My audience cares more about the shared experience, meeting new people, and having fun than strictly winning
Anything goes with regards to conversations!
I'm based in Markham and I'm often shifting locations between there and Toronto. Nomadic lifestyle!

About me
I'm a social work grad who specialized in mentorship and community development (LGBT+ socials, academic accommodations for neurodivergent students, youth food allergies anti-bullying, men's mental health, and more!)
Board game events are my way to bring community together and bring more fun and connection into people's lives, ingredients which are sorely needed to balance out our work-heavy culture. I am being the change I want to see in the world!
I've been running board game events on and off now for 10 years, since 1st year uni, 2015! You may call me the game master, hehe.
Personally, I love board games as a medium to promote play and connection in a group setting. I love how play restores my energy, I get to be silly and there's no pressure of something having to get done, and I love creatively crafting a unique board game experience every time for different people. I do it the same every time, but different - you have to experience it to get the feel for what I mean :).
