One of the easiest ways to bring people together to talk about your common interest in hypnosis is a “munch”.   A “munch” is a meetup of (usually kinky) people in a public place, usually a dining establishment, to hang out and talk.  Conversation may be directed towards a particular kinky topic, or it might be folk meeting up to discuss whatever comes up, knowing that everyone in the group has a common interest.  Munches are a low stress way for people to meet each other without any commitment to play or interact in ways that they are not comfortable.

• Casual environment, low pressure
• Public venue
• Usually less suitable for “doing”
• People may come and go as they need

Steps to start a munch:

1. Commit yourself to making it happen.  You can do it!  If you have any questions or need support, try posting here.
2. Find a venue.  Here are some tips on finding a venue…
   1. Some groups use mall food courts; finding a low-traffic area helps your munch feel more private.
   2. Restaurants are a viable option as well, depending where you are, you might be able to find a place with a back room that you can reserve.  Dennys (and diners in general), for example, can be very friendly.  Ask your potential venue if it’s OK for your party to get separate checks!
   3. Not all venues appreciate munches, so it’s good to check to see where local kink munches happen.
3. Pick a time that you can be there.  Since you are organizing, you being there is the most important thing.  There will be other meetings and there will be discussions of times at some point.  Your goal right now is to get some people together and start making connections.
4. Publicize your event!
   1. On Fetlife
      1. Make an “event”
      2. Post to the Erotic Hynosis Group events post! click here
   2. On Hypbook
   3. Send a message to mephki@nehg.info to be able to edit the hypnosis calendar on this website
5. Message those who have RSVP’d to say hi, to ask if they have any questions or concerns and to solidify the head count.  People are REALLY NERVOUS about going to their first hypno event.  A friendly exchange of messages can help establish that you are real people (not axe murderers) who would be fun to hang out with.  This helps reduce the number of “yes” RSVPs who don’t show up.
6. Go to the event location a bit early, get a table or go to your reserved area.  Be on the lookout for people who look lost.  Many groups use an easily visible object to mark which group of people is the hypno munch, for example, a hat, a ball, or a subtle sign.
7. Have fun!
