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. ⏳

That being said, we’ll meet right by Acropolis in Tarpon Springs first. 📍
We’ll hang there for a bit and wait for everyone to gather up before we all start walking. 👥🚶♂️
We’ll take a walk down through the Sponge Docks which is a huge tourist attraction and then eventually head into the Seafood Festival. 🧽🦐🐟
We can hit some shops too on the way there! 🛍️🎟️
