The sign is bolted to a fence at Casa de Luz, in yellow letters on dark wood: "There are no strangers here, only friends you have yet to meet." 

PRSA Austin Unwind brought about a dozen communicators to 1701 Toomey Road on August 25 for an evening with no agenda beyond stopping. The courtyard at Casa de Luz does most of the work on its own — a canopy of shade sails and vines, string lights, a chalkboard advertising cacao elixirs and organic juices, all of it tucked into a pocket of Austin you'd walk past without noticing. It feels like an oasis, which is a word that gets overused until you're standing in one in late August.

Often, ask you to learn something — panels, case studies, takeaways you can bring back to your team, but this one didn't ask for anything than friendship and relaxation.

Thanks to Lizbeth for the class, and to Casa de Luz and Third Eye for opening up their space to us. More events are on the way. Not a member yet? Join us.
