Slow Friending: Conversations and Connection

Join Duluth Folk School and a small cohort of like-minded people for one-on-one conversations. We’ll use a rotational mixer to ensure everyone meets everyone. We’ll conclude with an optional meal (not included) together at Dovetail Cafe.

“Slow Friending” is a calmer and slightly slower variation of our popular “Speed Friending” events. Unlike Speed Friending, this event requires preregistration and has a capped attendee limit. It also requires a donation to support Duluth Folk School.

Slow Friending creates more human connection in its variety of forms and purposes. Just about everyone enjoys these rotational mixers — this isn’t “for” introverts or extroverts, but for you. If you’re a friendly person, we encourage you to come!

Registration Includes

Participants will learn a social rotational mixer and gain practice talking with people of a variety of different ages and background. Participants will go home with greater connection to people in the Duluth area.

What goes into our class pricing? As a local nonprofit, Duluth Folk School is committed to supporting both our instructors and community. We want to compensate our instructors fairly, keep class sizes small, and keep our doors open—while also keeping prices as low as we can.

Thank you for participating in our local handcraft and education economy! Together, we help keep Duluth a fun and vibrant place.
