**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*

Each week there is some recommended readings to be done before we meet. **Please see the attached schedule for this week's readings.** The Bible Timeline® study program takes you on a guided journey through salvation history. Presenter Jeff Cavins will show you how fourteen of the Bible’s narrative books tell the biblical story from beginning to end and will give you the keys to understanding the amazing story woven throughout Scripture. The Bible Timeline will teach you how to read and understand the entire Bible and introduce you to the wonderful narrative of Scripture in a way that will transform your life. The online material can be bought online through the link below (optional). However, each session we can share copies for you to have discussion questions in class and reading guideline for the next session. https://ascensionpress.com/products/the-bible-timeline-the-story-of-salvation-online-video-access

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.

🏛️🍋 ASTORIA GREEK LUNCH SOCIAL 🍋🏛️ Sunshine on a Plate in the Heart of Greektown Maybe you’re skipping the walk. Maybe you just want the reward. Either way — come meet us for lunch. We’re gathering at **Astoria Shish Kebob House**, a Greektown institution established in 1972 and one of the oldest, most beloved Greek restaurants in Toronto. This isn’t just lunch. This is sizzling souvlaki arriving at the table. This is lemon potatoes that deserve their own fan club. This is grilled calamari, moussaka, warm pita, cool tzatziki, and that unmistakable buzz of a busy Greek dining room. Astoria has been serving authentic Greek cuisine for over 50 years — long before “foodie culture” was a thing. It’s classic. It’s generous. It’s the kind of place where you leave full and a little bit happier than when you arrived. And it’s even better when the table is full of friendly faces. If you’ve been meaning to try one of our events but didn’t want to commit to a full walk — this is your perfect entry point. Just show up hungry and ready to chat. 👉 Menu:[ CLICK HERE!](https://astoriashishkebobhouse.com/toronto/menu-toronto) 👉 **Don’t forget to join our WhatsApp group** – [CLICK HERE!](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc?mode=ac_t) *** 🕰️ Meetup Details ⏰ Time: 12:30 PM ❗ I will only wait 5 minutes outside 📍 Meetup Spot: I’ll be standing outside the restaurant 🫎 I’ll be wearing my Moose Hat Please don’t go inside without checking in first so we can be seated together.

This group is open to anyone who wants to be social and make friends — whether single or not. We also host: 🎬 Movies 🚶 Walks & hikes 🎭 Arts & culture outings 🍽️ Restaurant socials There’s always something happening — but this one?

Post on the event wall or email 📧 torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com Come for the Greek food. Stay for the laughter. Leave wondering why you don’t eat lemon potatoes every week. Honestly — lunch tastes better when you don’t eat it alone. 🍋🥙✨

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

## Hey Columbus WIP peeps! ## Are you ready for an event that actually gives you what you asked for?? **\-\-\-\-\-\-** **A Small-group coaching conversations for women in product navigating growth, leadership, and career decisions.** **March 10 \| 5:30–8:00 PM** **Rev1 -- NEW SPACE** **330 Rush Alley #100** **Parking Options:** • **Rev1 at The Peninsula** • **Starling St. Garage South** – 377 W. Capital St. • **LAZ Parking (COSI)** – 50 Belle St. • **LAZ Parking Limited** – 375 W. State St. • **Veterans Memorial Lot** – 300 W. Broad St. • **Metered Street Parking** **What moves are you making?** A promotion you’re working toward. A role change you’re considering. A bigger leadership opportunity. A conversation that needs to happen. A decision that’s been sitting in the back of your mind. For our Q1 Women in Product Columbus event, we’re creating space to actually work through those moments. **Making Moves** is an evening of focused, facilitated coaching conversations with experienced mentors from our local product community. This isn’t a panel. It’s not passive networking. It’s small-group dialogue designed to be thoughtful, practical, and worth your time. Here’s how it will work: • You’ll choose a topic that reflects what you’re navigating right now • You’ll join a small coaching circle (5–7 participants) • Each circle is led by a mentor who has lived experience in that area • We’ll run two rounds so you can go deeper or explore a second conversation ### Coaching Topics: • Communicating the Value of Your Work (or Team) • Career Transitions & What’s Next • Growing Into Leadership • Staying Relevant as Technology (and AI) Changes • Getting Alignment and Decisions from Leadership Our goal is simple: you leave with clearer thinking, practical perspective, and at least one next step you feel confident about. Space in each circle will be limited to keep conversations meaningful. If this sounds like the kind of room you’ve been wanting to be in, we’d love to see you on March 10. RSVP here!
