Through thoughtfully designed card prompts, we'll break down hot takes on life, love, career and everything in between. There are no wrong answers, and the point isn't to win. It's to see each take from every angle, have fun, and land somewhere with real substance.

Weekend sessions run 10 am to 12 pm around Surry Hills, usually with a sit-down in a park or cafe. Grain Walks is a peer conversation series, not a professional service. No legal, financial, medical or other professional advice is given, and views shared are personal opinions only. ## Agenda \*10:00 AM - 10:10 AM - Gather & warm up. Grab a tea, find a seat. \* 10:15 AM - 10:30 AM - First card, 1-on-1. Draw from our philosophy deck and test the question against your own life. \* 10:30 AM - 10:50 AM - Swap partners, new card \* 10:50 AM - 11:10 AM - Swap partners / go for a walk \* 11:10 AM - 11:30 AM - Swap partners / go for a walk \* 11:35 AM - 12:00 PM - Come back together.
