After that, we’ll mute and work independently in silence together. At the end, we’ll come back for a short share to celebrate progress. – *First 10 minutes:* verbal check-in + set your intention – *Next 70 minutes:* focused work (silent co-working) – *Final 10 minutes:* share what you worked on + celebrate progress This is a form of *“body doubling”*: working in the presence of others to stay focused and accountable. Studies have shown that simply working in the presence of others can improve focus and follow-through. **RSVP on Luma here:** [https://luma.com/4qtemyzl](https://luma.com/4qtemyzl) **What Should You Work On?** Anything you’ve been meaning to get to! – setting goals for the month – fleshing out content ideas – organizing your finances – tackling something you’ve been putting off!

SDNNYC: Jungle Tarot - A Workshop for Designers
Wed, Aug 5, 10:00 PM**Wednesday, August 5th, 6:00-8:00 PM EDT** **Presentation & Workshop** A Workshop on Speculative Change for Designers, Innovators, & Change Makers **Event Description** **What if tarot was a design method?** Organizations are full of signals we rarely talk about, power dynamics, unspoken assumptions, informal networks, and emotional undercurrents that shape how decisions get made. Jungle Tarot is a strategic reflection tool to help teams make sense of these hidden forces. Using storytelling, symbolism and speculative prompts, the deck invites participants to explore workplace challenges from new perspectives and spark conversations that traditional facilitation often misses. In this interactive session, we'll share the story behind Jungle Tarot's development and invite participants to experience this strategic facilitation tool through a guided collaborative reading. The workshop is designed for designers, strategists, facilitators, and leaders who are curious about alternative ways to unlock insight, navigate ambiguity, and create more meaningful conversations within organizations. No fortune telling, just curiosity and inspiration! **Links:** Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/jungletrt/](https://www.instagram.com/jungletrt/) Website: [https://www.jungletarot.com/](https://www.jungletarot.com/) **About Our Speakers** **Jungle Tarot** Jungle Tarot is a strategic reflection tool created by four graduates of Parsons School of Design: Mini Mrinalini, Angel Luo, Utsav Vekariya, and Isa Meriales. Now working as strategists across design consulting, marketing, product development, and beyond, the team continues to explore how design can shape organizations and systems. Originally developed through an exploration of service design as a vehicle for democracy, the project examines how participation, power, and collective decision-making can be made more visible within organizations. Jungle Tarot reimagines the traditional tarot deck as a framework for strategic conversations, using symbolism, storytelling, and speculation to help teams surface hidden dynamics, challenge assumptions, and navigate complexity together. **Agenda** * 6:00-6:45PM Meet & mingle over food and drink * 6:45-7:30PM Presentation & Workshop * 7:30-8:00PM Discussion & Networking * 8:00PM - ? After-Party **Address** Intuit 51 Astor Place New York, NY 10003 **After-Party**: Cuna Bar The Standard 25 Cooper Sq **Financial Transparency & Scholarships** As a non-profit, we do our best to strike a balance between making our events available to all and ensuring we keep the lights on. For this event, we are charging $10. * If this amount is prohibitive for you to attend this event, please message [Barry](https://www.meetup.com/sdnnyc/members/267573171/) on Meetup and we’ll provide you a scholarship to this event.

Meet in the Arts
Sat, Aug 1, 5:00 PM[Which art style are you? Vote and see who shares your lane.](https://app.favr.town/polls/s_378XeL85R4csGQ?r=@lovemaze) Our preferences in art reveal more about us than we often realize. Long before personality traits were formally categorized, psychologists studied personality differences through individuals' ratings of various paintings. If you find yourself drawn to the same piece of artwork, there's a strong chance you share a deep connection. Meet in the museum for an excursion. Sign up on [favr.town](https://favr.town/) and predict your next art buddy before you meet. Find out if you're right when you meet onsite. Or, if you fancy other museums, pin them at times that work for you on [favr.town](https://favr.town/) and discover who you might meet there. Note: This is a [Favr.town](http://favr.town/) member exclusive event. [Join](https://favr.town/events/meet-and-shop-trader-joes-trader-joes-2026-06-15-17-00) [[https://favr.town](https://favr.town/) ] Hint: Fans of abstract art tend to be creative, pop art lovers are often optimistic, impressionism enthusiasts are more likely to be conscientious, and those who prefer traditional art tend to be, well, more traditional. Something extra: Why do these traits matter? See how [optimism](https://favr.town/blog/the-power-of-optimism-in-relationships-how-a-positive-outlook-strengthens-resilience-emotional-health-and-lasting-love-2025-11-20), [conscientiousness](https://favr.town/blog/how-responsibility-and-reliability-build-trust-and-lasting-love-2026-04-19), [traditional values](https://favr.town/blog/prioritizing-family-values-for-lasting-commitment-and-love-2025-12-17), and [excitement](https://favr.town/blog/how-novelty-play-and-shared-adventure-keep-love-alive-2025-12-14) influence relationships. You can also measure how your sense of [optimism](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=1&b=OPTIMISTIC), [conscientiousness](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=CONSCIENTIOUS), [traditional values](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=TRADITIONAL), and [excitement](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=EXCITING) stack up against others.
