About
Our Approach
The ultimate goal of The Social Experience is to foster meaningful connections, inspire personal growth, and create a sense of belonging. Participants leave with not only new friendships and connections but also with a deeper understanding of self along with a heightened sense of community.
Throughout the curated experience, the atmosphere is carefully curated to promote connection. Attention is given to the venue and ambiance, creating a welcoming and comfortable environment conducive to open communication and collaboration. Our experiences go beyond the typical social gathering by incorporating intentionality that encourages reflection + conversation + commonality.
Hey, I’m Rikketta!
I find joy in guiding learners to their lightbulb moments. This is why The Social Experience is a perfect marriage between my educational background, areas of passion, and natural talent. My 10+ years of experience in higher education and Master of Arts in Adult Education & Training has provided TSX with a comprehensive understanding of how to create safe havens that encourage authenticity, growth, and community.
I was inspired to create the prototype to The Social Experience when asked to host a brunch in 2022. I was a part of this large group of women and pre covid, we would brunch quarterly to eat, to fellowship, and to simply be in community. We had not met in person in over 2 years and I missed my girls. I reached out to the group admin and asked when would we brunch again. Naturally, I was asked to host the next brunch.
As I began planning, I thought back to my first brunch and the impact it had on my life. I had only been in Kentucky two weeks before I attended my first brunch. It was there that I met most of my friends in Lexington, including my wife. Thinking back to my first brunch, I became close to the women that were sitting next to me. This gave me the idea to create prompts and create many smaller circles so that people had the opportunity to meet more than just the people around them.
After the brunch, I knew that I had to do this again! It was so fun and people kept asking for another brunch! So the decision was made to build more fun and joy into my life + business.
