Come Meet New People. No Small Talk. Just Meaningful Conversations. [Slow Friending by Authentic You Me]

***Welcome to the home of the original brains behind slow friending socials in Denmark*** Are you... ...a local or international or repat 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? ...craving for more deep conversations that go beyond the small talk? ...feeling a little lonely or lacking a sense of belonging? ...on the look out for a new tribe cos your friends have either moved away or are busy with new phases in life ...simply wanting to take your social networking skills to the next level? …and on top of that… *You are in your 30s or 40s+ and wondering where people your age hang out? 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 abroad, especially as an adult. The absence of genuine connections and meaningful conversations can sometimes leave us feeling a little lonely or like we don't belong. For others, friends may have moved away or onto new phases of life, leaving us with the need to restart a new friendship group all over again... While regular networking events are great and serve their purpose, they may sometimes leave you feeling that you have to perform; sometimes you may feel the need to hold back your authentic self; or you simply crave more meaningful interactions beyond repetitive small talk.But these places are not necessarily the place to hold deep, meaningful conversations. And that's OK. Cos meaningful conversations deserve a place of their own, where it does not feel out of place. Authentic You Me Slow Friending is born - a creative, new way to meet new people It's because of all the reasons above that Authentic You Me created a new, unique kind of social gathering that challenges conventional formats; and holds space for authentic connection and meaningful conversations that don't feel out of place - while still allowing you to mix and meet with various people throughout the evening. A new name was born for it, from Day 1, too: Slow Friending Socials. We draw from the Founder's decades long experience of facilitating effective, engaging and inclusive work places, stakeholder management; passion for human behavioural science and a genuine innate desire to make a positive impact in the life of others.

I am an innate empath, global citizen from London, who has travelled to 70+ countries and lived in 5 - currently based in Copenhagen. Like you, I have experienced many of the above! And I, too, 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. As a status quo challenger and creative soul, I decided to do things differently. 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. Hope we meet soon!...
