Español Abajo
**âïž Coffee Talk: Where Conversations Are Stronger Than the Coffee âïž**
Had enough of awkward small talk and silent social gatherings? This is your chance to break free. Join us for a night of meaningful conversations about life, dreams, existential crises, and why we keep procrastinating our goals.
\*\* What to expect?\*\*
âïž Thought-provoking questions (but not too deep, we promise).
âïž Interesting people with zero interest in discussing traffic.
âïž Interactive dynamics that push you out of your comfort zoneâwithout feeling like a job interview.
If you're ready for an evening of deep conversations, great coffee, and a dash of sarcastic humor, save your spot before you regret it (again).
**Where?** Diletto â PerĂłn 4217 (because coffee without great conversations is just wasted caffeine).
**How much?** $5,000 ARS / $5 USD (yes, genuine connections have a price, but theyâre worth every cent).

### **Saturdays just got better.**
Letâs face it â meeting new people as an adult is weird, awkward, and sometimes straight-up intimidating.
So we created a space where everything feels easy.
No pressure. No scripts. No ânetworking voice.â
Just real people, good energy, and conversations that actually go somewhere.
Come grab a seat, chat with someone new, flirt if the vibe is right , and enjoy that magic moment when strangers start feeling like friends.
No minimum consumption â just bring your vibe, your curiosity, and let the night flow.
Expect:
âš Multilingual chaos
âš Cultural surprises
âš Genuine laughs
âš Unexpected chemistry
âš And that âhow are we just meeting now?â feeling
This isnât networking.
This isnât speed dating.
This is **Culture Shock Therapy** â where the city meets the world.âĄ
If youâve been searching for your tribe in Buenos AiresâŠ

### **Los sĂĄbados ahora tienen otro sabor.**
Seamos honestos: hacer amigos de adulto es raro, incĂłmodo y a veces un poco intimidante.
Por eso creamos un espacio donde todo fluye.
Sin presiĂłn. Sin caretas. Sin tener que âparecer interesante.â
Solo buena vibra, gente auténtica y conversaciones que valen la pena.
VenĂ, sentate, conocĂ© a alguien nuevo, coqueteĂĄ si pinta , y disfrutĂĄ ese momento en el que los desconocidos se convierten en compañĂa.
No hay consumo obligatorio â traĂ© tu energĂa, tus ganas de conectar y dejĂĄ que la noche haga lo suyo.
Vas a encontrar:
âš Caos lingĂŒĂstico
âš Choques culturales divertidos
âš Risas reales
âš Conexiones inesperadas
âš Y ese famoso âÂżcĂłmo reciĂ©n nos estamos conociendo?â
No es networking.
No es speed dating.
Esto es **Culture Shock Therapy** â donde la ciudad se mezcla con el mundo. âĄ

Confidence in Bloom: How Creativity Builds Confidence
**Confidence in Bloom: How Creativity Builds Confidence**
What happens when creativity becomes an intentional practice?
In this monthâs Confidence Lab, weâll gather at **Petals That Inspire: The Flourish Studio** for an evening exploring the connection between creativity and confidence. How making with our hands, engaging our senses, and allowing space for expression can shift how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible.
Our featured speaker, **Amanda Lorenzetti**, owner of Petals That Inspire, will share how creativity has shaped her own confidence journey and why creative environments play such a powerful role in well-being, resilience, and personal growth. Drawing from her work leading an experience-driven floral studio and a community-centered workforce development program, Amanda will reflect on creativity as both a personal and collective catalyst.
Amanda will also guide us through a **hands-on floral design experience**, creating a fresh arrangement in a wide mouth mason jar. No prior floral experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to engage the process.
This evening is an invitation to slow down, create, and reconnect with the part of yourself that grows through care, attention, and imagination. Youâll leave with a floral arrangement to take home, and a deeper understanding of how confidence can be cultivated through creative practices.
**Featured Speaker: Amanda Lorenzetti**
Amanda Lorenzetti is the owner and founder of [Petals That Inspire](https://www.petalsthatinspire.com/) and The Flourish Studio, a social enterprise florist based in Columbus, Ohio. She brings more than a decade of experience in wedding and event sales, paired with hands-on expertise in floral and event design.
Amandaâs connection to the floral industry began early, spending time alongside her godmother, a professional florist on the East Coast.
After earning her business degree, she returned to her hometown in Connecticut to work as a floral and event designer, blending creative artistry with strong operational and client-focused skills.
In 2020, Amanda returned to the floral industry with a renewed purpose, driven by a desire to build a business rooted in creativity, community impact, and sustainability. During this pivotal time, she founded Petals That Inspireâan innovative floral concept that reimagines the traditional florist model by combining event florals, workshops, and experiential offerings with a mission-centered approach to workforce development.
Today, Petals That Inspire is a thriving social enterprise known for its thoughtful design, educational experiences, and commitment to empowering young adults facing barriers to entry in the workforce. Amanda is deeply passionate about building businesses that are both profitable and purpose-driven, and she leverages her strong business acumen to create a scalable & sustainable model that inspires creativity while giving back to the community.
**What is Confidence Lab?**
Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether youâre launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fullyâyou belong here.
Our work demands clarity, courage, and convictionâbut the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work.
Itâs designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact.
