Unhurried Conversations - Sunday

In an unhurried conversation, there is time to think differently and connect with people in a refreshing way. Unhurried isn't always slow. It offers a pace where people find it easy to join in and not feel crowded out. And listening can be as satisfying as talking. We use a simple meeting format to make this happen. [https://www.unhurried.org/](https://www.unhurried.org/) We meet in and around Table 05 of the Art Gallery Cafe, one level down from ground level, within the old South Building of the NSW Art Gallery.
