GTApreneurs August 5-2026 Toronto Business Networking Event

Connection Labs Online (aka Crossroads & Connections)

### Each Crossroads & Connections workshop is a fast, friendly mash-up: short demos, paired practices and intentional reflection. We keep it light, embodied, and social—so wisdom lands in your muscles and your circle, not only your mind. There isn’t one technique that fixes everything, for everyone, in every situation. ### What is it? We pair complementary domains to spark shared flow, fresh insight, and unforgettable “aha!” moments. You leave with lived skills, not just notes. * **Dialogue** gets you out of solo spin: small-group formats expose blind spots and sharpen “shared reality,” so your next move matches *this* person and *this* moment. * **Imaginal** practice is guided “as if” rehearsal you look *through*, not *at*: walking the beats before the scene means your body recognizes turns when stakes rise. * **Mindfulness** steadies the camera: attention stops jerking around, drama gets de-amplified, and you can catch the instant you’re narrating motives and swap in one honest question. * **Embodiment** makes it actionable through direct, non-verbal experience and how your inner experience matches your outer expression. Facilitators: Varies Fee: $30USD - Or a 10-pack for $200USD [Please visit here](https://awakentomeaning.com/crossroads-and-connections/) for registration and more information.

Everyone attending is there to meet others — no pressure, no awkward networking. **What to expect** * A small group (usually 4–6 people) * A friendly, low-pressure atmosphere * Easy, natural conversation **How it works** We coordinate the group and reserve the table once attendees confirm. The venue and details are shared with the group beforehand. Just show up, order what you like, and enjoy the experience. Each guest covers their own food and drinks.

Coffee and (vibe)code

A meetup for talking about the frontier of ai, or just vibe coding if you’re into that. Also industry gossip, hiring trends, effective altruism + predictions for the future

2SLGBTQIA+ Meetup

This meeting will be casual, as are all meetings for this group, for anyone interested in dinner and/or drinks as well as good conversation and meeting people. This group is welcoming to all members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community AND supporters even if a supporter is not a member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community (supporters might like more friends from the community). In addition, everyone who attends will receive a welcome and introduction in an effort to make meeting and making connections as effortless and effective as possible! Assuming at least one other person has committed to attending, how to identify the group will be provided the day of the meeting (more than likely that will be what I'm wearing that day). If there are any questions/concerns/suggestions, by all means send a message.
