Creative Women

A Women’s Only Social Mixer for International Women’s Day. Connect, laugh, sip, and build real friendships in Toronto. This International Women’s Day, step into a room full of women who are open to meeting, laughing, and building real connections. The Women’s Social is a women-only mixer designed to help you expand your circle, share good energy, and celebrate together in a way that feels natural and fun. If you have ever wanted to meet new women in Toronto without the awkwardness or pressure, this is your space. Whether you are outgoing or more on the reserved side, the structure of the night makes it easy to connect and feel included. In a city where it can feel hard to meet new people, we are creating something different. A space where women can hang out, sip on drinks, play interactive social games, and genuinely get to know one another. No cliques. No weird vibes. Just shared understanding and good energy. Most of the women who attend come on their own. By the middle of the night, it no longer feels like a room full of strangers. It feels like a community. Arrive Early Doors open at the listed start time. Arriving early gives you the best chance to meet everyone, participate in all the games, and ease into the night comfortably before the space fills up. What to Expect: Interactive social games designed to help you connect with multiple women throughout the evening. A lively and welcoming atmosphere at Crystal Thani, with music, comfortable seating, and a warm setting that makes it easy to mingle. A full menu of delicious Thai cuisine and drinks available for purchase. Crystal Thani is known for its flavourful dishes, including classic pad Thai, rich curries, and shareable appetizers that are perfect for a social night out. A women only environment created in celebration of International Women’s Day. Photos and videos will be taken throughout the event for social media and promotional use. About the Venue: Crystal Thani, located on College Street, offers a cozy yet vibrant setting that is ideal for gathering and socializing. Their menu features authentic Thai dishes made with bold flavours and fresh ingredients. Who Should Attend: Women who want to meet new friends, expand their social circle, and celebrate International Women’s Day in a fun and meaningful way. The typical age range is 19 to 40, but all women are welcome. This is not a dating event. It is a women centered social mixer focused on friendship, connection, and community. Dress Code: Come as you feel your best. Casual, elevated, expressive, or simple. The most important thing is showing up ready to connect. All attendees are expected to treat one another with respect and contribute to a positive atmosphere. About Social Creatures: Social Creatures was created to bring back something that felt like it was disappearing in Toronto, genuine social spaces. What began as small gatherings has grown into a thriving community where strangers meet through games, shared experiences, and intentional connection. Our events are designed to make socializing easier, more interactive, and actually enjoyable. Venue Tips: Please support Crystal Thani by purchasing at least one food or drink item during the event. Be open, be kind, and help maintain a welcoming environment for everyone. FAQ: Can I come alone? Yes. Many attendees come solo, and the event is structured to help you meet people quickly and comfortably. Do I need to be good at social games? Not at all. Everything is beginner friendly and guided throughout the night. Is this a dating event? No. This is a women only mixer focused on building friendships and celebrating community. What should I bring? Just yourself and a positive mindset. Food and drinks are available for purchase at the venue. Can I leave early? You are free to leave whenever you need, but staying for the full event gives you the best experience.

Please note: this is an invitation to experience group workshops and private feminine embodiment coaching. To learn more please contact Amanda Clarke at lusciousfeminine@gmail.com. Feminine Embodiment Women's Circles & Coaching https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/2/f/0/600_460789904.jpeg There is a cosmic shift happening on the planet and women are tired of playing second fiddle in this game of life. Playing small not only keeps you from manifesting what you truly want, but it also holds you back from living out your divine purpose. I’ve been there, stuck, held back, and yearning to break-free and frankly being in that place plain 'ol sucks! What if you could step-up and make a difference; a meaningful contribution in this world by just being you? How might the landscape of your life look? Over for the past six years, I’ve worked with women who are looking to break out of the spell of smallness. It pangs me to see women depressed, depleted, disconnected and downright insecure. One of the reasons many of my clients rave about the work we do together is because I provide immediate results. What I teach is inherent within you but there are layers of gunk bogging you down from accessing this wisdom. Spinning your wheels, and living a life of lack is no way to live, beautiful. You are so much more! What can you expect from our sessions together: • A solid understanding of what feminine energy is, and how to use it to have your way with the world • Develop a physical and energetic presence that attracts what you want: personally and professionally. • Feel more comfortable with your sensuality, and with receiving positive attention. • Experience more passion in your life - particularly your love life. • Be more at ease setting clear boundaries with others. • Learn to be in flow rather than always pushing and striving to make things happen. • Look and feel more sexy, confident and radiant • Gain clarity about your life purpose and the greatest gifts you have to offer the world • Establish or strengthen your intuitive guidance Book a FREE 30-minute discovery call to learn how I can help support you on your journey to coming home to yourself as a woman. This means MORE self-love, MORE self-confidence, MORE clarity, MORE empowerment and saying YES to living out your divine mission.

I lived in my head and felt completely severed from the neck-down. I over-intellectualized emotionally-charged situations to avoid being present…I am [now] able to ease my ‘mind-babble’, step into my power as a woman knowing that I am safe and secure within my own space, and practice expressing my needs and desires from a more authentic place… Amanda helped me to be trust in the power of vulnerability, surrender, and acceptance. It has been a pleasurable journey! \~ Stefanie T. Amanda Clarke The Luscious Feminine http://www.lusciousfeminine.com http://www.facebook.com/thelusciousfeminine lusciousfeminine@gmail.com

**As the Light Shifts, So Do We** Winter is slowly loosening its grip — but spring hasn’t fully arrived yet. This in-between season mirrors where many women find themselves: no longer who they were, not quite who they’re becoming. This gathering takes place on the weekend we shift the clocks forward — a gentle reminder that even when change happens overnight, adjustment takes time. As the light shifts, so do we. Join us for a relaxed **Soulful Chapters coffee meetup** focused on confidence, self-trust, and moving forward gently, without pressure to have it all figured out. This is not a workshop or coaching session. It’s a space for thoughtful conversation, reflection, and connection with women who understand the beauty — and uncertainty — of transition. **☕ What to Expect** * Casual coffee meetup (order and pay individually) * Guided conversation around: * Confidence during seasons of change * Trusting yourself before clarity arrives * Letting growth be quiet, imperfect, and real * Sharing is always optional — listening is welcome * Warm, respectful discussion in a small-group setting **🌷 Who This Is For** * Women **45+** * Women navigating transition, reinvention, or new chapters * Those craving meaningful connection beyond surface-level small talk This gathering is intentionally limited to **8 women** to keep the atmosphere relaxed, grounded, and intimate. ✨ *Hosted by Theresa, Certified NLP & Confidence Coach and founder of Soulful Chapters*

Hobbyists, new writers, published authors, and those aiming at publication are called to gather in friendship and love to create and share work, help each other improve with well-meaning, constructive feedback, and build a Christian community of male writers. Members may read up to 2,000 words from a piece of fiction or non-fiction. Those reading work must print copies sufficient for the number of members who RSVP. All those members attending must RSVP. Though never required, members are encouraged to provide written feedback on their handout of the piece and take a turn giving a verbal “hot take” after the reader has finished reading their work aloud. I encourage members to approach writing as we do our faith: strength in numbers. Though writing is often solitary, we take and give support in a fellowship setting and in time invite two or three men in the fellowship to be our special allies in achieving our own individual artistic goals. Beta readers, is another name for these chosen few. These men will work with you reciprocally outside of the group, reading longer drafts of your work than can be read in group sessions. You will support them as they do you. I'll moderate and host the group once a month for starters, and we will hope to grow to a weekly fellowship.

**Forget the small talk. Let’s make something real.** Most networking events feel like a chore. **Connection Lab** is the antidote. This isn't about swapping business cards; it’s about swapping perspectives, sketches, and stories in a curated, small-group setting. For this edition, we’re blending **artistic play** with **structured connection games**. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or haven't picked up a brush since grade school, you’ll find your flow here. ### **🖌️ The Experience** We keep the group limited to **10 people** to ensure the afternoon remains intentional and intimate. * **Low-Pressure Art:** Choose between ready-to-paint sketches (using graphite transfer paper) or a blank canvas. No "talent" required—we provide the tools to make it easy. * **Structured Connection:** We skip the "What do you do for work?" and move straight to curated games designed to spark genuine conversation. * **The Vibe:** Thoughtful, relaxed, and creative. ### **📋 What’s Included** * **All Materials:** Paint, brushes, canvas, and transfer paper. * **Guided Interaction:** Facilitated games to break the ice (without the cringe). * **Your Masterpiece:** You’ll leave with a finished piece of art and at least one meaningful new connection. ### **🎟️ Registration & Pricing** Registration through eventbrite is must for this event https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-creative-social-tickets-1984353364330 We keep the cost low to keep the community accessible. * **Ticket:** $10 (covers all materials) No Refund unless event is cancelled * **Note on Commitment:** Because we prepare specific materials for each of the 10 guests, please only register if you are 100% committed to attending. **Ready for a different kind of Saturday?** Space is strictly limited to 10.

Each year we try and find something special/somewhere to celebrate **International Women's Day!** *Sunday March 8th, 2026. A concert. Indigenous artists!* **Ticket link is below** with promo code pricing. We've seen these outstanding performers before at various venues in/around Toronto--but never on the Koerner Hall stage. With 50% off tickets. (Thank you Royal Conservatory of Music) **Koerner Hall celebrates International Women’s Day with a mosaic of Indigenous and diverse women’s voices**, hosted by Tamara Podemski and curated by Denise Bolduc. All of these artists are getting great attention on CBC/Radio. **Tia Wood’s powerful, soulful voice** carries the spirit of her peoples’ songs that have echoed from her homelands since time immemorial, and the musical roots of her family tree run deep. Growing up in a home rich with music and culture, she began singing as soon as she could talk, inspired and nurtured by her parents, siblings, and her dual Plains Cree and Coast Salish heritage. She was nominated for her first Juno Award in 2025 for her debut EP, Pretty Red Bird. She is one of the first Indigenous female artists signed to Sony Music. A Citizen of the Métis Nation of Ontario whose Red River roots run deep, interwoven with Anishinaabe relatives from Lac Seul and mixed settler relations, **Amanda Rheaume** has grown to be a chronicler of stories and people whose acts - out of necessity and opportunity alike - cascade through time and space, from the 18th century Red River Settlement to her own doorstep. In her gutsy guitar-driven style, punctuated with lively Métis fiddle, Rheaume’s heartland rock is built to last, resolute in rhythm and unswerving in purpose. **She is joined by Métis fiddler Alyssa Delbaere-Sawchuk.** **Shawnee Kish's powerful soul voice is why hearing her is a one-of-a-kind experience. The Mohawk singer-songwriter from Canada was a 2022 Juno nominee for Contemporary Indigenous Artist of the Year**, tied to her acclaimed self-titled debut EP. In 2023, she released her highly anticipated follow-up EP, Revolution, which landed her another two Juno nominations in Adult Alternative Album of the Year, and Contemporary Indigenous Artist of the Year.*Revolution*features her powerhouse vocals and introspective songwriting, as well as songwriting and production collaborations with industry luminaries, including Arkells frontman Max Kerman, Serena Ryder, Sara Quin of Tegan & Sara, and Dan Wilson (Adele, Taylor Swift). **Tamara Podemski** is an Anishinaabe (First Nations) and Ashkenazi (Jewish) multi-disciplinary performer whose work has spanned over three decades on stage and screen. She is best known for her acting roles in *Dance Me Outside*, The Rez (*CBC*), *Ready or Not (Global)*, *Reservation Dogs* (*FX)*, and the Broadway company of *RENT*. **Ticket link here:** https://www.rcmusic.com/events-and-performances/international-women-s-day-celebration Enter this promo code for 50% off ticket price: **INTLWMN50 (type it in manually--not copy/paste)** Any seats in Orchestra or First Balcony is a perfect seat.

**Confidence in Bloom: How Creativity Builds Confidence** What happens when creativity becomes an intentional practice? In this month’s Confidence Lab, we’ll 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. You’ll 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. Amanda’s 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 Inspire—an 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 you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but 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. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome!
