Chit Chat & Chai is a relaxed, facilitated gathering created especially for women. A couple of hours to step away from the everyday, meet other women and enjoy chai, chats, samosas, conversation and connection.
We’ll also hear from Pam Williams of The Thinking Harbour, who will share some thoughts and inspiration, and from Mandira, who will share a little of her story, her journey with Mandira’s Kitchen and the power of food and community to bring people together.
There’ll be plenty of time to talk, listen, laugh, share ideas and perhaps spark a few unexpected conversations along the way.
Places are limited to 25 women
This isn’t networking. There are no awkward pitches or pressure. It’s simply about bringing women together, creating space for meaningful conversation and seeing what happens when we connect.
£20
Includes tea and samosas
