Unete a nosotros y practica espanol!!! To help loosen the tongue 😜😜😜, G Wine is offering us a happy hour deal where we get our second drink for free! Necesitas saber al menos el presente de espanol. Other than that, just come and enjoy the wine and company 😜. The event will be led by Patricia, a qualified Spanish teacher who offers regular morning conversation classes in the area. Some of you might already know her and indeed are having lessons with her. I am hoping to make this a regular event. For this first time, she will assess the different levels and decide the best way to go forward. There will be a fee of €10 plus €2 Fluffy Tax. You will need to buy your own drinks. We need a minimum of 6 of us for this to go ahead. Please make sure you respond to my messages promptly or I will assume you have signed up by mistake and will not be attending.

A WiA Collective Wisdom Exchange At the start of this year, we gathered to look back, set intentions, and imagine the next chapter. This is the follow-up. Not a check-in. Not a progress report. A small, facilitated circle to reconnect with what you said mattered — and honestly explore what’s actually happening now. Together, we’ll explore: • What you intended at the start of this year - and what that looks like three months in • What’s surprised you, supported you, or shifted • What the next chapter needs now that you know what you know If you were at our January gathering, bring whatever you made or wrote — your word, your artifact, your intention. We’ll look at it with fresh eyes. If this is your first time, you belong here too. You’ll start where we all started: with what’s true right now. Optional art materials will be available for anyone who wants to reflect creatively alongside conversation. If you brought something home from January, you’re warmly invited to bring it back. The intention is the same as always: everyone leaves feeling more clear, more connected, and a little lighter. Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate. What to Expect • A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup) • Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak • Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving • Optional creative reflection alongside conversation • A calm, supportive environment Who This Is For Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for honest conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords. Good to Know • No preparation required • If you attended in January, we invite you to bring anything you created or wrote (or something that represents your intention at the start of the year) - it’s optional but invited • Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome • Creative activities are optional
