Feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, or weighed down? Struggling with your mental health? Feel exhausted at the thought of attending ANOTHER event where you have to show up put together and polished, bring your A-game and interact with people only at the surface level?
What if there was an event ...
... where you could just show up with no pressure or expectation.
... where you could connect with a bunch of other humans who are just after the same thing as you: meaningful, real conversations.
... where you could hear from someone else who's been through what you're going through, and can help give you some tools to navigate it.
Well, there is! And it's happening on Friday 1st August at 7.00am in Takapuna.
-----
What to expect
We'll meet outside the Takapuna Beach Cafe and grab a coffee (or other beverage of choice) at 7.00am and then go for a walk along the beach.
The event officially finishes at 8.30am but you're free to leave whenever you need to for work or the school drop-off - no questions asked.
Bring along your kids, your dog, and any friends, family or colleagues you think could also use some fresh air, some relaxation and a good chat.
If it's raining on the morning, we'll grab a table at the cafe or somewhere under shelter.
-----
What to bring
A keep cup if you'd like to grab a takeaway drink. Other than that ... just yourself!
