Chatty Saturday!
To celebrate World Mental Health Day, join us at The Wandering Palate for a morning dedicated to genuine connection, community, and having a good natter!
Humans are hardwired to connect. In primitive times, it kept us safe and gave us an evolutionary advantage. In the present day, this need is vital for our mental well-being, as strong social relationships can reduce stress, improve our mood, and protect us from challenges like anxiety and depression.
We know that showing up can be the hardest part, so we’ve designed this event to feel safe and supportive. This is a low-pressure meet-up with ZERO forced participation.
There will be no awkward "stand up and introduce yourself" moments.
What to expect - this 90-minute session is all about making it easy to connect:
- A warm welcome: You'll be greeted individually and made to feel right at home from the moment you arrive.
Meet Your Hosts: A brief welcome from bestselling author and social anxiety expert Claire Eastham and The Wandering Palate proprietor and Artist Emma Evans.
- Conversational Speed-Dating: Get ready for low-pressure chats with multiple people. We'll have fun topics ready for you to get the conversations started, so you won't have to worry about small talk.
- A Chance to Mingle: The speed-dating rounds are designed as a springboard. Afterward, you’ll have the opportunity to move around and chat freely with those you've met.
- The Connection Board: Take a moment to share your thoughts on our 'What Brings You Here' board.
- Meaningful Affirmations: Choose a heartfelt affirmation from our curated selection to take home with you.
The Wandering Palate is a safe, non-judgmental space, with people waiting to share a friendly conversation. We can't wait to see you there.
This is a free event, but please RSVP as spaces are limited to keep it intimate.
