Midweek Recharge is a private, closed-door evening designed for those who feel stretched by long workdays and constant noise and are simply looking for a gentle pause. This experience brings together guided art creation, grounding moments, and a shared dinner in a calm, intimate setting. No art background is required. You won’t be taught how to “draw properly,” and there is no pressure to perform or explain. The focus is on process, presence, and personal expression. Through a carefully guided art session and a relaxed meal, participants are invited to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and enjoy meaningful moments quietly or in shared conversation. You will leave the evening with: \* A sense of calm and clarity \* A personal artwork that reflects where you are right now \* A lighter mind, without needing to have the “right words” This is not a class, a therapy session, or a networking event. It is simply an evening to breathe, create, and be.

**Looking to meet new people in Singapore or reconnect with the Coffee & Cravings community?** Join us for a relaxed evening of drinks, conversation, and making new connections. Whether you’ve been part of the group before, you’re new to Singapore, or you simply feel like joining a casual social evening, you’re very welcome. *** ## **Event Details** **Location:** Spectre **Day:** Tuesday **Time:** 7:00 PM onwards **Special for our group:** $10 highballs *** ## **About This Meetup** Coffee & Cravings has been around for more than a decade. In the past, the events were always simple — gather at a café or restaurant, share food or drinks, and meet people from all sorts of backgrounds. Over the years we’ve had members from retail, F&B, tech, finance, law, creative industries and entrepreneurship. Many people actually made lasting friendships and professional connections through these casual meetups. We haven’t organised as many events in recent years, and the Meetup landscape has changed quite a bit as well. Our subscription is also coming up for renewal in April, so before deciding what to do next, I thought it would be nice to bring the group together again and see if there’s still interest in keeping the community active. *** ## **The Venue** For this meetup we’ll be gathering at **Spectre**, a bar owned by a friend who has kindly offered the space for us to use as our meetup hangout. The bar is actually wrapping up its lease at the end of the month, so this is also a nice opportunity to enjoy the space before it disappears. It’s comfortable, can fit quite a number of people, and works well as a place to chat and meet new faces. The bar will be offering **$10 highballs for the group**, and you’re welcome to order other drinks from the regular menu if you prefer. Since the space won’t be around much longer, I’m hoping to host **a few Coffee & Cravings meetups there before it closes**, so hopefully this can also help kickstart the group again. *** If you’ve been part of the group before, it would be lovely to see you again. If you’re new, come by and say hello. And as a small side note — if anyone feels strongly about keeping the group going and would like to help support the Meetup subscription so we can continue organising events like this, feel free to reach out privately. ***

Thoughtful business conversations, without the networking noise. **A relaxed, curated breakfast for business owners and professionals who value real conversation over forced networking. Come for breakfast. Leave with clarity and relevant connections.** **BASH Breakfast Social** Date: Friday, 20 March 2026 Time: 8.30 a.m. to 10.00 a.m. Venue: MK Cafe Address: 81 Circuit Road, #01-01 Registration is required **About the session** The BASH Breakfast Social is a small, intentional breakfast gathering for business owners and professionals. This is not speed networking. It is not a pitching room. Conversations are lightly guided so people can talk properly, without pressure or performance. You will meet others who are building businesses, navigating decisions, and thinking seriously about their work. **What to expect** * Simple introductions to get conversations started. * Time to talk without rushing. * Relevant connections, not random ones. * A balance of business insight and genuine conversation. * Casual, but purposeful. Friendly, but focused. **Who this is for** * Business owners, founders, and solopreneurs. * Consultants and professionals who value thoughtful dialogue. * Anyone who prefers substance over surface-level networking. * A quick note **This is not a sales or pitching event.** If you enjoy good conversations and meeting people you can actually follow up with, you will fit right in. **Practical details** * Open to everyone. * Pay for your own breakfast. * Limited seats to keep the group comfortable. ***Come for breakfast. Stay for the conversation.***

**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People** Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside. In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison. Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone. Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned. **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!
