🪞 Can you read my mind? (No, but you're probably trying.)
Join us at Wave Collective for a conversation with Juliana Schroeder, social psychologist and professor at UC Berkeley, as we explore the science behind how we connect—and misconnect—with others.
Every meaningful moment in life involves a social interaction. But despite the immense psychological and practical value we can gain from other people, we often leave connection on the table. Why?
In this talk, we’ll dive into the surprising mistakes people make when trying to read others’ minds—and how that impacts everything from forming friendships with strangers to disagreeing more productively. Along the way, we'll uncover how small, prosocial gestures can go a long way and why even minimal connections can mean more than you think.
Come for the psychology, stay for the practical takeaways—and leave with a new lens on how we interact and connect. 🧠✨

About Our Ticket Structure
We’re not taking a profit—every ticket sold goes directly back into the business. Our pricing also depends on the venue, and this space charges us a rental fee, which is why tickets for this event are slightly higher than previous ones.
That said, we’re committed to making our events accessible to everyone. If cost is a barrier, please don’t hesitate to reach out by emailing us at [email protected]—we reserve a handful of tickets for financial assistance at every event.
Thanks for supporting our growing mission!
