Making friends as an adult can be difficult. Whether you're looking to widen your circle, reconnect with community, or just curious about how friendships grow, this program is for you!

Making friends as an adult can feel different than it did when we were younger. Life gets busy, routines change, and opportunities to meet new people don’t always come as easily. In this lively and thoughtful class, we’ll explore the changing nature of friendship in adulthood and talk about simple, practical ways to build new connections. Whether you’re looking to widen your circle, reconnect with community, or just curious about how friendships grow, this conversation will offer fresh perspectives and a few ideas to try along the way.
