About us
A carefully curated social gathering dedicated to bringing people together to building meaningful connections through meaningful conversations that go beyond the small talk.
We often hear how difficult it can be to make new friends as an adult and even more so when living abroad. The absence of genuine connections can sometimes leave us feeling a little lonely or lacking a sense of belonging - negatively impacting our mental wellbeing. On the other hand, many social events can leave us tired of repeatedly answering to "Where are you from?, "What do you do?", etc over and over again.
Hence Authentic You Me is on a social mission to create a space that not only stimulates authentic connection 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. Let's fight this together!
Open to professionals aged 30,40,50+ of all nationalities and genders.

Collaborate, don't imitate.

***Join us for a welcoming, carefully crafted and thoughtfully facilitated experience of meaningful conversations that go beyond the small talk.***

No small talk.
No pressure to perform.
No intimidating crowds.
---We often hear how difficult it can be to make new friends as an adult and particularly when moving abroad; or when rebuilding social circles when old friends have moved away or onto new life phases.
.
Socialising attempts often mean standing in a crowded room, wearing a polite smile, and answering the same three questions: "What do you do?" "Where are you from?" "How long have you been here?" Great for breaking the ice, but rarely leading to genuine connection or something inspiring or meaningful. It’s exhausting. It feels like a performance.
.
While the absence of authentic connection and meaningful conversations can sometimes leave us feeling a little lonely or like we don't belong.
.
Authentic You Me was born with a desire to change that.---
Welcome to Authentic You Me, the home of mindful, intentional socials, baptised as 𝗦𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴™ = our own refreshing take on the usual speedfriending / networking formats, which aims to change how we meet and connect with others.Designed for authentic connection, our carefully crafted and thoughtfully facilitated Slow Friending™ invites you to an afternoon that is all about embracing your authentic self, connecting on a deeper level with like-minded people, exchanging perspectives and challenging your thinking on different curated topics.
