About this Event


“Friendship ... is born at the moment when one says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .”― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves


Who we are and why?

Welcome to The Circle — because you are the sum of the people around you.

We design events where your next best friend (or chosen family member) could be sitting right across from you.Our curated experiences are designed to help you connect with people who make your world bigger, brighter, and better.

“Each friend represents a world in us, a world of possibilty not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.”― Anais Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1: 1931-1934


Event Details

Join us for Witches’ Brew & New Crew, a Halloween-themed speed friending + speed dating mashup designed for Millennials (30–45) in the Halton/GTA area who want to expand their social circle, and meet like-minded people, looking to foster true, authentic relationships.

Who Should Attend

• Millennials who are ready for genuine friendships to celebrate life's milestones and get through the tough times with.
• Unstoppable women craving community + authentic connection
• Anyone ready to expand their circle beyond small talk and apps—Technology can't replace the magic of face-to-face connection.

Whether you come solo or with a friend, you’ll leave with new connections — and maybe life long freindships.

What’s Included

• 🍸 One drink
• 🍴 Food
• 🧙‍♀️ Crew Card + Friend Compatibility Test results
• 🕑 Two hours of structured mingling + connection games
• 💌 The chance to walk away with brand-new friends (or more)

This isn’t your average mixer. With our Friend Compatibility Test + Crew Cards, you’ll learn fun, revealing details about every person in the room before you even sit down. No awkward small talk — just instant icebreakers, better conversations, and day-one vibes.

Why Friend-Dating?

We’ve all heard of speed dating — but friend dating (aka speed friending) is the new wave. It’s a low-pressure, fun way to meet like-minded people, build your community, and find your circle.

How It Works

1. Upon ticket confirmation: You’ll answer our quick Friend Compatibility Test.
2. Before the event: We’ll create a Crew Card for you and for every other attendee, filled with their fun prompts + personality clues.
3. At check-in: You’ll receive your own Crew Card (with your answers) + a deck of Crew Cards with everyone else’s answers.
4. The Ritual: All Crew Cards go into the communal cauldron bowl. To kick off Round One, you’ll pick a random card — and that’s who you’ll meet first.
5. Speed Friending Rounds: Rotate through, swapping 5–7 minute convos. Each chat starts with 3–5 Crew Card details + one fun prompt — no wasted small talk.
6. Wrap-Up: You’ll mark ✅ “Would hang out again” / 🔮 “Maybe” / ❌ “Not my vibe” on your private scorecard. Afterwards, we’ll connect the matches so you can grow your new circle.
