Welcome,
What
The Autumn Society is a weekly reflection club for young adults who aren’t unwell, but aren’t
totally okay either.
We meet in person. We write stuff down. We make sense of things — slowly, properly, without needing
to have it all figured out.
Why
Because no one taught us how to feel.
Because life moves too fast and we don’t.
Because school skipped emotional skills.
Because talking feels like too much, and doing nothing feels worse.
Because understanding yourself isn’t a breakthrough — it’s a habit.
How
You show up. You get a cup of tea.
You sit down with pen and paper.
We give you a set of simple prompts. You reflect on your week — privately, no pressure to share.
Afterwards, you hang out (or leave quietly, that’s fine too).
40 minutes.
No apps. No therapy talk. Just a simple routine, once a week.
Who
People like you.
18–25-ish. Emotionally aware but kind of stuck.
Overthinkers, under-sharers, recovering perfectionists.
People who want something real.
Not a mess. Just figuring it out.
Who's behind this
We’re John and Tom — two product designers who studied together at NCAD
The Autumn Society began as a passion project — a response to how little space there is to slow down
and make sense of things.
We believe understanding emotions is a skill — one that should be simple, social, and part of
everyday life, not something you only seek when things fall apart.
Tom is now developing The Autumn Society as a way to put those ideas into action.
John continues to support the ideas behind it with feedback and lived experience.
