Theme: Courage

Having the courage to start something. It always takes courage to start something. To do things differently and follow your own path. In the current climate of financial uncertainty it takes even more courage to go for it and follow your dreams. In our first proper in-person event since 2020, in this period of uncertainty and rebuilding, ‘Courage’ seemed the perfect theme to pick to inspire us all to stay motivated, have the confidence to put ourselves out there and keep going. We have invited 2 local speakers to be announced shortly to share their stories of courage at our summer get-together which will be followed with the opportunity to catch up and connect with other local creatives in a relaxed and informal setting.
