Dubai is famous for its skyline, but its soul is found at the breakfast table. Whether you’re a long-term expat or a fresh arrival, there’s no better way to discover the city than through its most legendary morning spots. Join us for an exclusive *7-week culinary journey* as we traverse the city from the heritage alleys of Old Dubai to the chic terraces of the Marina. We aren't just eating; we’re building a community of morning enthusiasts, one flat white and shakshuka at a time. Buzz is we will be exploring food from all 7 continents. ### **Week 1 - Asia:** *Old Soul, Bold Flavors* We are starting where it all began: **Arabian Tea House, Bur Dubai.** Imagine stepping back in time under the turquoise lattices and white boughs of the Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood. We’ll dive into traditional Emirati trays, fragrant zaatar, and steaming pots of karak. ### **Important: The Fine Print** **Limited to 15 Slots Only:** To keep conversations intimate and table bookings manageable, we have a hard cap on attendees. **The "Golden Rule" of RSVPing:** We get it, life happens! But because spots are so limited, if you can’t make it, please **cancel at least 24 hours in advance**. This allows someone from the waitlist to join the feast. Ready to wake up and smell the saffron? Secure your spot for Week 1 now! ### **Our Philosophy: Authentic Connection** > **Note:** This group is entirely independent. We are **not promoting or affiliated** with any of the cafes we visit. Our goal is simple: exploring the city’s best flavors while engaging in **meaningful conversations**. No agendas, no pitches—just good food and better company.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

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
