From Offline Women
5.0

Join us for a screen-free Offline Women Sunset in the Park to enjoy the fresh air and end the week in nature. Close the laptop and trade the screen glare for the evening glow. This is a simple, tech-free space to decompress from the work week. We’re heading to Regent’s Park to just sit, hang out on the grass, and watch the sun go down. We’ll meet at Queen Mary's Rose Gardens for a gentle wander through the flowers and the park. As the "Golden Hour" starts, we’ll find a peaceful spot to sit, chat, and watch the sky change. Bring a blanket and some snacks if you like, or just show up as you are. Showing up is the first step toward connection and belonging. To celebrate you for taking that step, our member and friend [Meixin Sun | Stories & Conversations on Growth](https://ms2836.wixsite.com/meixincapital/spiritual-capital) has generously provided a gift card for one lucky attendee to win. Join us offline to find out how it could be you!
