Business Planning

**Paint & Be Seen 🎨 \| Art & Photo Experience in Milan** This is not a workshop — it’s a creative portal where people meet who are not afraid of themselves, their thoughts, or their beauty. Open to both men and women. But it’s not for everyone. This is not about “painting something nice.” It’s about stepping out of your usual image and seeing yourself without a filter. A studio in Milan, near Gorla metro. A real artist’s space — not polished, not staged. High walls, antique frames, paint on the floor. This is where art is created, not performed. You sit in front of a canvas. Wearing something that doesn’t hide you — natural tones, simple fabrics, a dress or a linen shirt without prints. Something you don’t mind getting a little paint on. Because neatness is control. And here, we let go of it. A glass of wine — to relax and release even deeper. You don’t paint “beautifully.” You paint honestly. I know how to teach — but I won’t. I don’t give templates. I stay close, so you don’t escape yourself in the process. And in that moment, the photographer is working. He doesn’t create “pretty pictures.” He captures truth. A glance. A pause. The movement of your hand. The moment of doubt. The moment you let go and begin. Light and shadow are shaped so you don’t pose — you become part of the frame. This is not just photography. It’s a captured state. 👉 Take a look at the style of photos we create during this live experience — this is not about posing, but about capturing real moments, atmosphere, and your natural presence. We are not about perfection. We are about what is real. There are no “right” people here. Only real ones. We stand for a life without masks. For the courage to see your beauty — not through standards, but through feeling. I speak Italian, English, Ukrainian, and Russian — but here, the real language is color and sensation. ✨ What you receive: — your own painting (30×40 cm, acrylic) — professional black & white portraits — natural group photos — a creative video of the experience — a glass of wine Small group — up to 6 participants. Personal attention. 💰 Price: €80 (all included) Spots are limited. And honestly — it’s not for everyone.

Step into the very first evening at Kookie’s LAB Studio and be part of its beginning. This two-hour creative experience is designed as a relaxed Friday night ritual: slow down, get your hands messy, and shape something beautiful from start to finish. Guided step by step, you will create two decorative pieces: a small vase an hexagon plate You’ll design them yourself, choose colors and details, and bring both pieces home with you at the end of the workshop. No prior experience is needed — just curiosity and the desire to create. The atmosphere is intimate, welcoming, and intentionally unhurried: a space to experiment, connect, and enjoy the process as much as the result. This is not just a workshop. It’s the first pour, the first shapes, the very first night of the studio. ✨ All materials included ✨ Duration: 2 hours ✨ Language: English **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)

**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy* You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life. The problem isn't you. It's the format. Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built. Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else. *That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real. There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking. Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum. This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic. You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation. **April 14th. RSVP now.** **When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081
