CRY Session - FRIENDSHIP WORKSHOP (Men-Only)
A workshop on how men build real friendships💧
Making friends as an adult is harder than we like to admit. We get busy, we move, we change, and at some point, friendship becomes merely another task to fulfil rather than a priority to make.
This CRY session is a workshop on true friendship: what it actually takes, why it's gotten harder, and what we might do differently, starting tonight.
We'll move quickly past the theory and into the real stuff: where you're at with your friendships right now, what's getting in the way, and what it might look like to show up differently. Expect honest conversation and listening, and deeper questions to sit with yourself.
Your host
Monika Jiang is a writer, community builder, and the founder of The Oneliness Project, a living exploration of loneliness and what she calls oneliness: the capacity to be with ourselves, each other, and the world differently. She hosts regular Shared Table Dinners on topics from family and friendship to care, politics, and modern love, produces a podcast, and speaks and gives workshops on reframing loneliness into oneliness.
Together we’ll explore why so many men struggle to build meaningful friendships, what gets in the way, and how genuine connection can become part of everyday life again.
