About this Event

🦥 Slow Networking for Introverts + Journalling Workshop to Reconnect with your Strengths! 💖


Do you often go to networking events and feel like they are a waste of time? Because everything feels transactional and gives you the “ick” - where people only talk to you if there’s something in it for them? Or they're handing out business cards left and right? 😒

​Well, thankfully, at our slow networking 🦥 event, we don't do all those things. Where many people focus on instant gratification and fast results, we want to focus on the opposite - slow, intentional, deep connections.
✨ Where everyone gets the chance to speak and be heard.
✨Where there will be no awkward interruptions.
✨ Where we give you the time to reflect and share your thoughts without having the need to put up a front or performance or having to use alcohol to ease nerves

​In a quiet, intimate space (capped at 15 people including us), we provide the structure so you never have to worry about what to say or how to fit in. You get to slow down, connect deeply, and feel truly seen.
Yes, introverts, we see you 👀. You can finally let your guard down and take off your mask.

​​And extroverts/ambiverts, you can come too and sprinkle in some of your amazing energy. 🌟


NEW Workshop: “Reconnect With Your Strengths”

​Alongside our slow networking experience, we’re hosting a reflective journaling workshop designed to help you reconnect with yourself, so you can recognize your strengths and share them in a way that feels grounded, honest, and aligned. 💖

​This isn’t about bragging or self-promotion.
It’s about shifting how you see yourself, acknowledging what you’ve already done, and making it easier to find the right projects, collaborations, and people to work with.

During this workshop, you will:

​✔️ Experience a gentle mindset shift around what “strengths” and “accomplishments” really mean including the small, often-overlooked wins
✔️ Work through guided journaling prompts to reflect on your accomplishments (big, small, and everything in between)
✔️ Create a simple, sustainable way to document and celebrate your wins going forward, so you don’t forget how capable you truly are
✔️ Practice sharing your accomplishments with others in a supportive, low-pressure environment

​You’ll leave with a clearer, kinder understanding of your strengths, plus a personal framework for noticing and celebrating your progress over time.

​By the end, you’ll feel more confident naming what you bring to the table, making it easier to connect with people and opportunities that genuinely align with you, without the need to oversell yourself.


​So, come rediscover your strengths and slow network 🦥 with us on Friday, January 23 from 5:30 pm - 8:00pm.
Your ticket will include ONE FREE DRINK.
