On April 19th\, we will be talking about “Being Curious with Confidence” and how that may look different in our adulthood compared to our childhood. Curiosity is a powerful force that drives exploration\, learning\, and growth. Children embody this naturally—they ask endless questions\, dive into new experiences without hesitation\, and approach the world with fearless wonder without much thought of being wrong or looking foolish. But does this change as we grow older? If so\, when and why does this shift occur? We invite you to join us on April 19th at Moka & Co for this insightful topic to hear other people’s thoughts\, opinions\, and experiences!\n \nAbout Moka & Co: Moka & Co is a Yemeni coffee shop that recently opened a new location in Mesa\, AZ. Their mission is to: “Deliver an amazing\, unique taste of culture\, served with a high standard of hospitality.”\n \nWhat are Coffee Talks? Coffee Talks are a NOMAarizona monthly event. Order a warm or iced beverage of your choice from rotating cafe locations around the valley. In Coffee Talks\, we come together to share\, listen\, and learn in a casual setting. This is a place where light and heavy topics can be discussed welcomingly while learning from different perspectives and joining in community. We encourage all to participate in the conversation as we explore many topics and coffee shops with NOMAarizona.\n\nRSVP here\n\n\nIf you have a topic/input/comments you’d like to chat about for coffee talks please click on this link: Your Coffee Talk Input URL:https://nomaarizona.org/event/april-coffee-talk/ LOCATION:Moka & Co\, 1766 S Greenfield Rd Ste 102\, Mesa\, AZ\, 85206\, United States CATEGORIES:Coffee Talk,Networking ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://nomaarizona.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/25_April-C.T.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20250409T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20250409T203000 DTSTAMP:20260429T110738 CREATED:20250305T040748Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250305T040748Z UID:3036-1744223400-1744230600@nomaarizona.org SUMMARY:No Festival Required - Hollywood's Architect - The Paul R.
