About this event

Welcome to The Calm and Connected Business Circle event!

Networking Reimagined for Women Entrepreneurs.

Join us on Wed September 24 2025 at 9:30 AM at The Plough Harborne.


At The Calm and Connected Circle, we shift the focus away from hustle and striving and toward a more mindful, grounded approach to personal growth. Unlike traditional self-improvement or wellness events, we believe that you—your wellbeing, energy, and emotional clarity—are the foundation of a fulfilling life.

This is connection with a twist: a nurturing space where like-minded women come together to share, reflect, and grow—rooted in balance and authenticity. We’re here to build lives that feel aligned, spacious, and meaningful, not just productive.

Join us in creating a calm and connected life, where self-care is not a luxury, but a sustainable practice that allows you to flourish—in your relationships, your work, and your everyday rhythms.
