Every ligare gathering is built around a shared activity—something that makes it easier to open up and get to know each other. But the activity is never the point. The point is connection.
We’re starting with board games: introvert-friendly, conversation-sparking, and surprisingly revealing. Over time, we’ll expand into things like crafts, storytelling, wine tastings, book clubs, and topical discussions.
To join, you’ll fill out a brief connection profile. It tells us who you are, what kind of gatherings interest you, and the kinds of people you’re hoping to meet. Our events are invite-only, with each one curated around shared life experiences, interests, and identities—whether that’s recent transplants, LGBTQ+ community, parents, BIPOC, or just people in the same season of life.
At the gathering, we take care of everything.
We design the space, choose the guest list, plan the seating chart, set the mood, and guide the flow—so you can put your phone away and just be there. The night is designed to help you genuinely connect with multiple people, not just make small talk.
Afterward, we follow up to hear how it went—and who you really connected with. If there’s a mutual spark, we help you reconnect. The rest is up to you.
how we do it
You’ll start by telling us a little about yourself—who you are, what you’re into, and the kind of people you’d love to meet.
When a gathering feels like the right fit, we’ll send you a personal invite.
Events are priced in line with a great night out—think concerts, comedy, or wine tastings.
Invites will always come at least two weeks in advance, so you’ll have time to plan and commit. If we don’t have a strong group confirmed, we’ll cancel the gathering and refund you. No forced vibes. The point is real connection.
You’ll be asked to put your phone away while you're with us—so you can be fully present, and so can everyone else.
Gatherings are hosted in welcoming spaces across central Houston—cozy coffee shops, wine bars, and hidden gem venues. Most evenings run from 7:00 to around 10:00. Lite bites and drinks are usually available for purchase. (If you need a full dinner, you may want to eat beforehand)
We’ll tell you everything you need to know before you arrive. But we’ll also leave a little bit for you to discover when you walk through the door.
