Take a break, grab a beverage, and connect with others in a welcoming, agenda-free space where everyone belongs. Public Living Rooms are simple places to relax, have a conversation, or just enjoy being around other people. There are no expectations, no pressure, and everyone is welcome. No registration is needed. 

We ask everyone to help create this welcoming environment by embracing six simple ideas:

  • It’s okay to be a bit rubbish.
  • Don’t fix people, just be alongside them.
  • To be silly is to be human.
  • Mix with folks not like you.
  • We can disagree respectfully.
  • Ask someone who is struggling to help you.
