Quiet Networking

Come join us for a relaxed networking event where you can make connections in a relaxed and quiet atmosphere!

Are you a women-led business owner that's more introverted and empathy-driven?

Tired of networking in noisy environments and not having a deep conversation?

Want a chance to speak with other liked-minded, women-led business owners in person?

The Lumina Women Business Collective is a networking group that's structured and created to help you have more conversations and build community with your fellow business owners. Anyone who identifies as female is welcome.

  • The goal of this meetup is to provide the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with other women business owners, IRL, that share your values.

  • This group is a safe, supportive environment to build connections with other women business owners to learn, and grow from each other

  • Be prepared to meet new people as we break into groups to discuss topics related to growing your business!

Here’s what to expect:

  • You don’t need to know anyone—we will help you meet other folks!

  • This group promotes a real-talk, community-led conversation.

  • Come ready to be curious, willing to be a bit vulnerable, and learn from each other.

  • Coffee and snacks (gluten-free too!) are provided

Quiet Networking is held at TaborSpace every 2nd Thursday at 10am

Agenda:

Intro: Community Agreements and Introductions (20 min)

Business Topic of the Month: Each month, we tackle a new topic. You will have questions/talking points and the opportunity to speak in small groups that will rotate for a few rounds. (40 min)

Roundtable Reflections: A chance to share what you learned and will apply and share wins and events you are promoting. (30 min)

Note: The meetup is held in Art Room (Room 14) at Taborspace - the best way to access this room is to enter the main doors of Taborspace and turn left, you will run into a T, turn right and the room will be on your 2nd left (look out for signs!) FREE PARKING and it's pretty close to the venue!
