The social circle for freelancers
Monthly meetups to help you take time out from work-life and connect with other freelancers in real-life.
Does this sounds familiar?
You'd love to meet other freelancers like you, but don't know where to find them – let alone go to another bland networking event.
You're working late into the evenings trying to make ends meet, but know there must be another way.
You're new to self-employment, but are struggling to figure it all out and don't know where to turn to for advice.
You're not the only one and you don't need to go at it alone.
Meet other creators, entrepreneurs and business owners like you
Just because you work for yourself — doesn't mean you have to be by yourself.

Slow down
These meetups are about taking time to connect and be, not hustle and sell.

Build resilience
It's funny. When you take time out, you often come back more resilient.
The Slow Social is where freelancers find their people.
Human first
Human first
Machines are designed to run non-stop.
Humans aren't.But we do, and then we lean on all sorts of coping strategies: meditation apps, weekend getaways, copious drinking and strong coffee... but things don't change.This is your invitation to slow downIn truth, all we crave is time. What if you gifted yourself one day a month to not work? A day to rest, connect with others, and recharge your creative batteries for the next week.Time to dreamThe Slow Social is not a networking event. It's an opportunity to connect and chew the fat with other people like you. People who get what you're going through. We encourage people to talk about where they're going and what lights them up — not their job description. We love big ideas, big dreams and big ambition.
Human first.
Business second.

If you run a business, this is for you.
Our sessions are designed to be relaxed.
The host will welcome everyone, and then we have an intro round. This is short and about you – not your job. We want likeminded people to connect. Not people with the same job title. For us, human connection comes first — business usually follows.
After the intro round, the group is invited to get up, move around and go chat to someone you resonated with or found interesting.
Then the magic starts.
