If you would like to be added, pls msg me with what you are looking for & I can share who else is looking.)
Dress code: tis an Autumn Zhu-topia in a jungle-overgrown mansion: you’ve been bewitched and turned into the animal or plant that most embodies you (alas, not always the same as the one you wish you were!) Are you a sunflower? A sloth? A strangling fig? Prize for the best one!
If you show up as a human, you’re boring & will have to announce your greatest insecurity over mike to everybody present. I'm absolutely not kidding. Truth or truth!
Example animal / plant: at my best, I - Autumn - am a monkey: clever, mischievous, playful, witty. At my worst, I am a rabid raccoon aka trash panda, getting sick from eating expired foods, washing cotton candy in water and wondering where it went, shimmying up poles and places I shouldn’t, neurotic af. As a plant, I’m probably a dandelion bc I like making wishes, I’m everywhere all at once, a bright yellow flower, and a resilient weed that can also be a snacc (dandelion greens)
Let's revel in community, meaningful conversations, and incredible memories together.
