This is where the depth happens, and it requires everyone to arrive on time.After the structured part, we continue more casually — a walk, happy hour, or simply more conversation. You are welcome to stay for as long as you like.No agenda. No networking. No performance. Just real conversation with women who understand what starting over actually feels like.Finding UsWe will be in the grass section next to the Pond &amp; Fountain inside Holland Park.
