ALL ABOUT THIS EVENT:
This event has three components to it:
- The Gallery Art Meditation
- Journaling
- Then a social mixer afterwards
How will it work?
We will meet up for the meet and greet and head towards the art gallery. We will agree where to meet up by 10:10m during the 10 minutes meet and greet: the aim is to move through the gallery and head towards the art pieces that bring up a sense of calm in you. You are invited to bring your journal with you and write down what the specific art piece brings up for you. You can take a photo of the art work or just note the name of the artist and name of the art piece in your journal but the important thing is to sit with the painting in front of you and create a sense of calm and meditate on what comes up visually, emotionally and physically in your body. It is not about how many art pieces you can sit with, but rather being able to sit with 2-3 during the hour of the meditation and just notice the colours, shapes, etc... and what these bring up for you! The aim is to engage with all your senses when doing this. To heighten the experience of your senses you are welcome to bring a couple of fragrances that you can use on each wrist(optional) and /or something to touch (optional) while you are meditating on the art pieces. If you choose to go deeper you can imagine being the artist and how it would feel like to be painting or sculpting the art piece. There is no right or wrong way of doing this: it is simply getting in the flow of being present and aware, which is what meditation is all about.
Once we all meet up again at the end of the hour and head towards the cafe for the social mixer we will then get a chance to discuss what we journaled about (whatever each of us feels free to bring up) which always makes for fascinating,connecting conversations!
WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU:
- A journal and a pen.
- Your mobile phone or camera(optional)
- Scented oil/fragrance (optional)
- Two different textured items (e.g. something soft and fluffy, something hard an textured.Optional)

INTERESTED IN ATTENDING?
WELCOME TO CONNECTED EXCLUSIVE EVENTS....
My name is Lou and it gives me great pleasure to offer events that connects people in meaningful and fun ways, while at the same time offering a more bespoke service that does not break the bank! I pride myself in making sure during my events that everyone feel welcome and included as I know how daunting it can be to meet new people!Here are a few things you need to know before RSVPing...
◼️All Connected Exclusive Events in person events are listed without a venue : just a general area is mentioned. Once RSVPs close a day before the event after 6.30pm all paid attendees will get a message from me through Eventbrite with my contact number and exact meet up details, and any pertinent last minute information in order to be able to attend. Please ensure you contact me should you not receive the message, no later than at the end of the night before the event. I do not give refunds for no shows if an attendee claims they did not get meet up location notification, or contacts me on the day of the event. Please ensure your email address is correct and up to date when you RSVP to ensure you are contactable. I am contactable on my mobile phone (this will be sent on the email message I will send all attendees the evening before the event) around the time of the event, so if you cannot find the venue or the group, please feel free to get in touch by phone.(This is for phone calls only. I do not reply to text messages)
◼️The event fee to RSVP minimally covers the cost, time and fees necessary to put these events together and is set to encourage attendees to turn up to the event. My events are listed well ahead of time and RSVPs are open until a day before the event.Reminders are sent out as well. Please do not RSVP unless you know you can attend. This allows me, the host, a chance to curate a better event for all and it creates a better experience for those that do show up on the day.
◼️No refunds given under any circumstance, except if event is cancelled (see details below): The listed fee per person to RSVP to this event is non-refundable.On occasion there might be a need to reschedule events as I don't have a team in the background running my online or in person events, it is run by only one person, myself. So there might be times when an event will need to be postponed or as a last option,cancelled. If in the rare instance that the RSVP count is too low to run the event(in other words not enough interest )or for any other unforeseen circumstances that can come up, which will make rescheduling an event a necessity, a credit of fee paid will be used to attend the rescheduled event for another event(in person or online event) of the same ticketed price.No refunds/credits given for late arrivals, no shows, if you change your mind, if you can no longer attend, you don't like how the event was run, or you cannot attend the new rescheduled event because you are not available on the new date(in case event has been rescheduled) and you do not feel there are any other optional events you want to attend instead etc...... If there is an exceptional concern(not mentioned here)where a refund is requested, I will address it on a case by case basis. In these circumstances, if a refund is granted it will be minus Eventbrite fees and this will usually be processed within 30 days of the refund request. Please be aware of this before RSVPing.
◼️The listed event fee is not redeemable against any drinks/food or extras. Drinks and extras like food etc..are paid for by each person directly to the venue. There is no minimum spend at venues, unless this is specified. All my events are run as walk-in events at the venues.I am in no way affiliated or representing the venues. Therefore if attendees have any questions on the day please contact me directly on my mobile phone and not the venue.
◼️This event is not being offered as therapy/counselling and so does not constitute as a diagnosis or replacement for medical or psychological treatment. It is being run for self-help, motivation, information/educational and discussion purposes only. You will need to be able to assume responsibility for your own emotional wellbeing as it's not always possible to consider individual triggers in a group setting. If you feel you have deep rooted mental health issues that are affecting your life right now,please do find appropriate, expert help in addition to helping yourself. The results can often mean seeing a significant improvement in your wellbeing,mental health and life.
◼️Please behave with respect and consideration towards others.Inappropriate behaviour from any attendee, will result in said attendee being banned from attending Connected Exclusive Events.
◼️This event is being run as a social mixer. It is an invitation for people (men and women) to come together and share an activity. On the day of the event, I , the organiser, have no control over who shows up. Every event is different and unique. Some are well attended, some are not.I do not offer refunds to attendees who are unhappy about the event not having an equal mix of men and women, or not being happy about how many people showed up(whether that is too many people or too few people)or how or where the event is run.
◼️As the organiser, I will take all possible precautions to ensure that this event is run as safely as possible for all attendees. By signing up and attending any of my events , you agree that your safety and personal belongings are your own responsibility and I am not responsible or liable for either.
