Blood Drives Sydney

The Food Conversation

Soy in everything, microplastics in our blood, seed oils, preservatives, ultra-processed everything. Is it as bad as the internet says? Is it overblown? What do you actually do about it? Come share what you've learned, what you've changed, and what you've given up trying to avoid. Pizza on me. (Yes, the irony is noted.)

Unhurried Conversations at the Pub

In an unhurried conversation, there is time to think differently and connect with people in a refreshing way. Unhurried isn't always slow. It offers a pace where people find it easy to join in and not feel crowded out. And listening can be as satisfying as talking. We use a simple meeting format to make this happen. https://www.unhurried.org/ This newly created event is at a new venue, the Keg & Bew Hotel at Surry Hills. We meet on the 2nd floor around 6:15pm. Food and drinks are available, before and after, on the ground floor and roof top.
