You’re not the only one who finds this hard. Making friends as an adult can be awkward. Life gets in the way — kids, work, anxiety, a schedule that never slows down.

If you’ve been craving real connection but aren’t sure where to start, this is for you.

We’re providing a space for a small, welcoming group where young adults in the Zanesville area who want to meet new people can take it slow.

No pressure. No awkward ice breakers. Just good people getting to know each other.

Feeling a little disconnected lately? You're not alone. We're creating a cozy, low-key space to do something about it. Join us for a laid-back evening of pumpkin painting, light games, and genuine conversation. No pressure, just good company and good vibes.

What to expect:

• Pumpkin painting — all supplies provided, and your creation goes home with you

• Chill games and activities — think board games, crafts, and easy conversation starters

• Real connection — walk away with new friends and a little less weight on your shoulders

• A welcoming, anxiety-friendly environment

Facilitated by a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Qualified Mental Health Specialist (QMHS).

The holidays can be a lot — the pressure, the noise, the endless to-do lists. This is your permission slip to slow down. Join us for a warm, quiet evening of crafts, chill activities, and easy connection with people who get it. No obligations, no forced cheer — just a calm corner of the season that's actually for you.

What to expect:

• Seasonal crafting — a soothing, hands-on activity to take home as a little piece of the evening

• Low-key games and activities — nothing competitive, nothing loud, just cozy fun

• A genuine exhale — step away from the holiday hustle in an anxiety-friendly, judgment-free space

• Real connection — meet others who are navigating this season the same way you are

This group is designed for adults in their 20s and 30s who feel the weight of the holiday season — whether that's anxiety, loneliness, or just plain burnout. A calm, inclusive space especially welcoming to women and non-binary folks.
