Authentic You Me: Building meaningful connections

Are you...

...a local or international looking to develop new meaningful friendships?

...tired of repeating yourself on "how long have you been here?" "so...what do you do?" questions at regular networking events?

...looked at funny when you bring up a question like “What makes you smile?” or “What book caused a lasting impression on you?

...craving for more deep conversations that go beyond the small talk?

...feeling a little lonely or out of place lately?

...simply wanting to take your social networking skills to the next level?

…and on top of that…

*Wondering where people your age are at?

If you have answered yes to two or more of the above, then you have come to the right place.

Welcome to Authentic You Me

We often hear how difficult it can be to make new friends in Denmark or a new place, especially as an adult. The absence of genuine connections and meaningful conversations can sometimes leave us feeling a little lonely and out of place.

And also, while regular networking events serve their purpose, they may sometimes still leave you feeling empty. Having gone to various of them myself, I have grown a little tired of repeatedly answering to “What do you do?” and “Have you been here before?” questions a countless number of times.

What if we moved on to deeper conversations that delve into significant topics or ideas that stimulate and challenge our perspectives, or simply allow us to uncover what truly ignites that spark in your eyes, how you view the world, what we are truly passionate (or concerned) about, or simply bring out our authentic selves in a meaningful way?

But we seldom experience these conversations arising spontaneously. Or sometimes we may feel the need to hold back our authentic selves.

Authentic You Me is here to address that

Hej! I am a Londoner living in Copenhagen and like you, I have experienced many of the above! Hence this project is on a social mission to create a space that not only goes beyond the small talk; but to tackle the challenges of feeling truly connected in a place that is far from home / used to be home.

Join me for a carefully curated evening that is all about embracing your authentic self, connecting on a deeper level with like-minded people, challenging your perspective and sparking curiosity through stimulating conversations – all in a welcoming, non-judgemental setting.
