Although it has been our founder Demi’s dream to become a cult leader…or start a new religion similar to Scientology..this, unfortunately, is not that.

Although we would love some of the tax benefits religious groups get 😅

Isn’t it funny how we can so easily question a community? A space to connect with like-minded people - if I was attending I’d totally think the same thing. The world’s filled with a lot of sh*t, but this space was genuinely built to solve the loneliness epidemic that young people are experiencing. A space to connect with people and have conversations you don’t usually, to gain new perspectives. We believe community and conversations without sounding too corny are the most powerful tools we have and it can help us be change makers. Fck the way things have always gone, let’s shake things up together 🙌

There is nothing more isolating than being surrounded by people that don’t understand the way you want to live your life.

You may feel a lot of “shoulds” right now, you may feel obliged to do things because of other people’s sacrifice, you may feel as though you must do what everyone around you is doing…because…well what else can you do?

This space is for you to explore your curiosities, to engage with people who are just like you, a space where we know that change is hard & takes time & that it’s going to be harder for some than others (cause our systems/society is pretty f*ckd) but we are here to support one another along the way.

Ahhhhh!! THANKYOU!!

We are so proud of this community & want to ensure that it stays community-run and led. Meaning there is no 1 person who runs this thing, it’s every single one of us that contributes to make it what it is.

How can you help?
Email: hello@themillennialcrisis.com

1. Let us know what skills you have and how you’d like to contribute them to the group (e.g. if you’re a photographer do you want to shoot an event, if you’re an artist do you want to perform or run a workshop for the community - pitch us! We are open to all!!)

2. Are you a business or do you work for someone that would like to sponsor us, donate space for our events, or know a grant we may be eligible for? We are currently self-funded and really want to continue running these & keeping them free for our community but we need help! If you can help in any way please do let us know.

3. Have you been to an event before? Want to help create the experience you had? Become a facilitator! Don’t be shy, put your hat in the ring! If you would like to facilitate a conversation circle please get in touch we would love to have you and will train you & walk you through how you can be the best facilitator!

4. Have an idea about how we can make things better? Pitch us!! We want the biggest & craziest ideas and we want to make them happen, but please don’t come at us half-assed 😂 if you want to pitch us an idea PITCH us an idea - let us know how you imagine it running & we can help fill the gaps!

5. Want to collab?
Do you run a business or a community group & think we have the same values/purpose and think we could collaborate on an event/workshop/socials? Get in touch! We love teaming up with other amazing businesses & causes 💛

Our events are for Millennials & Gen Z. The age range at our events is usually 18-40.

If you are currently stuck in the monotony of your 9-5, confused about the direction you want to go in life or are looking to push yourself out of your comfort zone and meet new people, this event is for you.

We started the Millennial Crisis community to connect, learn and grow with like-minded Millennials & Gen Z. So far, we have run 40 online events and 17 IRL events where people have formed friendships, collaborated in the workplace and exchanged skills.

Just a bunch of weirdos looking to live our best lives.

Our events are inclusive and safe spaces, you can expect to feel supported, to meet new and interesting people doing really cool sh*t.

You can expect to be pushed out of your comfort zone (in the best way), engage in interesting conversation, be asked questions you may not have ever considered before, exchange stories with strangers, and most importantly feel less alone in whatever “Millennial Crisis” you are experiencing.

We ensure upon arrival EVERYBODY is greeted by a facilitator - as we encourage people to come alone we want you to feel welcomed as soon as you get there.

We then get everyone together & talk you through what you can expect from the day, which is followed by being split up into conversation circles. This is where you are put in a group of 8-12 people with 1 facilitator, the facilitator’s job is to ask the group questions & ensure everybody has a say. Don’t worry if you are shy or feel as though you don’t have anything to contribute our questions are designed to ensure everyone has a say, you deserve to be heard 💛

To be completely honest, we encourage people to come without knowing anybody, this is an opportunity for you to meet new people, connect in a way that you may not have before, and come in with a fresh slate, be the person you want to be without any expectations of what people will think of the “new you”.

Our community is all about growth (personal & career), so come along and know we create a space where everybody no matter how shy you are will connect with somebody, we do a really great job of making our events inclusive and give everybody the opportunity to talk, meet new people without having to go up to a random person and start a conversation.

Don’t worry, if you have friends that you’d like to come with we encourage this too! It usually means you have great friends that you feel comfortable with and are both looking to grow together - we love to see it!

A lot of our community experience different levels of anxiety, meeting new people can do this. Remember it’s normal and totally valid to feel this way. We try to ease everybody’s minds as much as we can pre, upon arrival, and during the event. This means having somebody greet you, creating an inclusive space, and leaving our DM’s and emails open for anyone who has any questions that will help ease your mind.

However, if your anxiety gets the better of you, do not worry! If it happens, we’d love for you to register for the event, give it a crack to come, and if you can’t make it last minute for this reason, we are proud of you for trying!

We also run virtual events, which can sometimes be less scary for people to attend, so to ease in, feel free to join a virtual event first and connect with our global community there :)

Firstly, you’re not alone. Many of our community members are introverted, identify as shy/quiet.

These conversations aren’t like school assignment groups where 1-2 people dominate while the rest sit quietly. Our facilitator’s job is to ensure everybody contributes, which also means ensuring people don’t speak too much & that we hold space for those who find it a little more difficult to speak up.

Our events are a great way to build confidence, and push yourself into your stretch zone! Many “shy” people end up making the best connections and come out of their shells drastically as they feel as though they can be completely themselves here.

Our conversation topics vary, we will talk about things including:
- Quarter Life Crisis
- The impact of the digital age
- Career
- WTF am I doing with my life (HELP)
- Mental Health
- Cultural shifts
- Politics (making conversations easy, accessible - here you can learn & contribute)

& many more taboo topics you may not usually get to speak about.

Don’t worry we ease you in, all newcomers join one conversation circle where we start off with our Millennial Crisis Q’s then you will have the choice in which circle you want to listen in on or converse in.

There is no question, comment or statement that is too “dumb”.

Everybodi’s perspective and experience is valued here and we WANT to hear it!

There are no right or wrong answers when you are talking about your perspective or experience.

This is a space for 2-way nonjudgmental dialect. The only times our facilitators will call people out is if a comment is a racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, ableist etc.

We do NOT tolerate that, but we also understand that everybody is learning and growing, so we still approach these in a compassionate and empathetic way - after all none of us are perfect.

If it’s an outdoor event we encourage people to bring a picnic blanket or something to sit on!

If it’s an indoor event just bring yourself.

Optional: We do provide snacks & water but feel free to bring food/a drink any snacks you’d like to have while we chat! We know some of you may be rushing from work & need to eat so please don’t be shy to do so!

Short answer no!

This community is self-funded by our founder. Any event spaces we secure have been donated to us by lovely businesses that believe in what we are creating. We are also always in search of volunteers, businesses to sponsor us & grants that we are able to secure to continue running at this capacity!
