GROUP 6-22 EVENTS
A six-week relational practice
hosted by Group 6-22.
For people who want more than polite conversation — and less than performance.
This is how we announce the next cohort opening.
The current cohort is in progress. New participants are invited when the next practice opens.
You can be in a room full of people and still feel alone.
You can live with others and still feel unseen.
You can talk all day and never feel met.
You’re not broken. The way we’ve been taught to connect is.
For generations, we’ve been conditioned to replace presence with performance. To avoid risk, silence, and anything that might slow us down. Small talk isn’t the enemy—it’s the habit we reach for when we’ve forgotten how to actually be with each other.
Stop the Small Talk is a practice space for learning how to be with people more honestly, without performing insight, fixing the moment, or rushing toward closure.
HOUSE RULES
No fixing.
No explaining.
No rescue.
No rush.
Practice before interpretation.

This practice is for people who:
You don’t need prior experience. You do need willingness.
Stop the Small Talk is hosted by Group 6-22—an organization cultivating presence, relational intelligence, and new forms of gathering beyond extraction and performance.
This practice is a doorway into the larger ethos we steward: time, attention, and relationship as real currencies—and presence as infrastructure.
This practice is stewarded by Marquis D. Hunt, founder of Group 6-22.
Stop the Small Talk opens periodically. If you want to receive information when the next practice begins, join the TIDE.
