What kind of activities are you planning?

This is up to the individual - what scares one person, someone else does habitually.

When I did this at the May CFAR workshop, things I did included singing in the toilets, complimenting someone's shoes, asking for a free croissant, and letting someone try to sell me some skincare stuff. I'm struggling to remember what other people did, but one person struck up conversations with strangers, and one of the instructors managed to get a massage circle going.

During the discussion beforehand, people will be able to come up with ideas of things they want to do.

Sounds excellent. WIsh I could make it, but I've got a family thing to attend to that day. Next time, for sure!
