**Looking to grow your social circle in London? Tired of small talk?** **Come meet new people and make friends the Authentic You Me way!** Join us for a welcoming, carefully crafted and thoughtfully facilitated experience of meaningful conversations that go beyond the small talk. No business cards or job titles. No small talk. No pressure to perform. No intimidating crowds. \-\-\- . We often hear how difficult it can be to make new friends as an adult and particularly when moving abroad; or when rebuilding social circles cos old friends have moved away or onto new life phases. . Socialising attempts often mean standing in a crowded room, wearing a polite smile, and answering the same three questions: *"What do you do?" "Where are you from?" "How long have you been here?"* Great for breaking the ice, but rarely leading to something inspiring or meaningful. It’s exhausting. It feels like a performance. . While the absence of authentic connection and meaningful conversations can sometimes leave us feeling a little lonely or like we don't belong. . **Authentic You Me** *was born with a desire to change that.* . \-\-\- **Welcome to Authentic You Me**, the home of mindful, intentional socials we baptised as 𝗦𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 = our own thoughtful, refreshing and carefully crafted way of changing how we meet and connect with others. You are invited for an evening that is all about embracing your authentic self, connecting on a deeper level with like-minded people, challenging your perspective and sparking curiosity through stimulating conversations – all in a welcoming, non-intimidating & cosy setting. Designed to suit both introverts & extroverts. . **\*\*\*Please note that this is a purpose-led PAID event.
