Helena, founder of BARE Project in Beijing, joins us to share about diving deeper in connections and conversations with people through events, workshops, and more. She talks about her own experience with loneliness in Beijing, why small talk at parties makes her anxious, and questions she uses at her events and her personal life to dive deeper.  She also shares about the Men's Dinner events she started with Date Night China this year that aim to create a space for men to share about challenges in today's society.
