About us
Purpose: ✨
This group was created with the purpose of reigniting real-life interpersonal relationships. 🤝
There have been so many changes the world has been experiencing like the impact of the virus 🦠, advent of the smartphone 📱, explosion of social media 🌐, rise of dating apps 💔 and the growing scarcity of quality communities.
It has forever changed the way on how we see one another and potentially has produced a distorted or warped view of building natural, genuine connections. 👥
It’s challenging for a lot of people to meet others and be involved in something great—especially after getting out from high school and college. 🎓
Becoming involved in a group that promotes self-reflection 🧘 and is adamant about becoming the best version of yourself ✨ will cause you to walk into the best years of your life.
Let’s return to how everything was before. ⏳

🤝 This group is affiliated with the Tampa Bay Primals, a booking/travel/event hosting company in the entertainment industry.
🎟️ Although the membership of this meetup group is free, there are events that require payment to attend. These consist of a mark-up price as part of a package deal with the venue or company Tampa Bay Primals is working with.
📅 There are about 6-8 events on average per month. About half of them are free for returning members, giving plenty of time to connect and establish great rapport. We have monthly Meet & Greets to help facilitate this.
