Tired of the dating apps and relationships that lead to nowhere? You’re not alone. A popular social networking group in Santa Fe is ditching the online sphere for an in-person one-of-a-kind experience meant to bring people of all ages together for connection, dates and even friendship.
On the latest podcast episode of “Conversations Different,” host Inez Russell Gomez speaks with Local Singles founder Margaret “Maggie” Lambe about her inspiration for starting the singles group and how it has led to a positive impact on the greater community. The group’s founding has revived a spark in people’s need for socialization outside of their daily lives, Lambe says.
Throughout the episode, Inez and Maggie discuss what it’s like to attend one of the group’s many social events that take place throughout the year and also reflect on the importance of social connection for your health and well-being.
To close out the episode, Lambe shares information about her website, a hub to find out when her social events will be happening as well as a place to find other curated services to help in your love journey. The website is localsingles.me
