Art (NGV), Dinner & Conversation (Women: young-at-heart)

If you’d enjoy a relaxed Sunday afternoon wandering through beautiful spaces, sharing thoughtful conversation, and ending the day over a lovely dinner — you’re warmly invited to join us.

This is a women-only gathering designed to make connection feel easy, unforced, and nourishing, with art, movement, and shared experience doing the heavy lifting.

### Meet time & place

4:00pm – Meet inside the NGV, Great Hall
Please enter the NGV (180 St Kilda Road, Melbourne) and walk through Federation Court.
We’ll meet in the Great Hall.

(This meeting spot is easy to find once inside — see map/photo in the event images.)

### Gallery wander + conversation

4:00pm – 5:00pm
We’ll spend the afternoon wandering a limited area of the NGV together, moving at an easy pace and allowing conversations to unfold naturally as we explore.

This is a relaxed, unstructured wander — there’s no rush and no expectation to see everything. The gallery provides a beautiful backdrop for:

• Gentle conversation
• Reflections sparked by art and design
• Easy connections without small talk pressure

As with other Good Conversations Club events, you’re welcome to arrive exactly as you are.

I’ll have conversation prompts available that you’re welcome to use if you’d like — or not at all. They’re simply there to support ease, connection, and meaningful conversation if you want them.

### Walk to dinner

The NGV closes at 5:00pm, so we’ll meet out front, then take a short walk (approx. 10 minutes) together towards Flinders Street Station.

### Dinner

5:30pm – 7:00pm
Chocolate Buddha (very close to Flinders Street Station)
Dinner is a chance to sit, slow down, and continue conversations over (shared?) food.
You’re welcome to join for the gallery wander only, or both — dinner is optional but encouraged.

### Who this event is for

This is a women-only event for those who are:

• Young at heart and open-minded
• Interested in art, culture, and meaningful conversation
• Comfortable in mixed-age groups
• Looking for connection without pressure or performance

There’s no strict age range — you’ll likely meet women across different life stages who value presence, curiosity, and good conversation. (In general, ages of people attending our events have been around 25-50 years)

### Important notes

• Entry to the NGV is free
• Dinner is pay-your-own
• Please arrive on time so we can begin together
• Comfortable shoes recommended for walking

This event is about shared experience first, followed by nourishing conversation — in beautiful surroundings, with ease.
