Join us for the inaugural NeuroDive mixer, a unique gathering to connect and celebrate neurodiversity.
Hosted by the Brainbow Connection podcast in collaboration with Muck Duck Studio, this event is designed to weave together the colorful threads of our diverse community. What to Expect NeuroDive offers an array of activities tailored for engagement and comfort. From thought-provoking discussion circles to fun and fast-paced Speed Friending, there’s something for everyone.
Recognizing the need for quieter spaces, we also provide a dedicated quiet zone for those who need a break from the social whirl. Open to All This event is open to both neurodivergent individuals and neurotypical allies who wish to engage in a space designed with neurodiversity in mind. It’s a fantastic opportunity to understand, share, and celebrate different perspectives in a supportive environment.
