Meet New People. Skip the Small Talk. Meaningful Conversations await.

***Looking to grow your social circle? tired of surface level socialising? Join us for a welcoming, carefully crafted and thoughtfully facilitated experience of meaningful conversations and authentic connection.*** No small talk. No performative networking. No intimidating crowds. --- What is Slow Friending™? Slow Friending ™ is Authentic You Me's own concept that takes a meaningful approach to the usual speed friending and networking formats: slowing things down and creating space for intentional presence, depth over small talk, and quality interactions over quantity. Designed for authentic connection, so you actually get to know the people you meet, and leave with new meaningful connections, not just a collection of names you might forget by morning. --- What people say about our Slow Friending™ socials... "As soon as I read about the event, I was really curious about it. I am happy that I came as this was nothing like anything that I have experienced before. The conversations were reflective, deep and cathartic in a way. I'm sure I'll be back. -Renu" “𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘶𝘯, 𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 & 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵.

We often hear how difficult it can be to make new friends as an adult and particularly when rebuilding social circles when old friends have moved away or onto new life phases; or when you move abroad. Socialising attempts often mean standing in a crowded room, wearing a polite smile, and answering the same three questions: "What do you do?" "Where are you from?" "How long have you been here?" Great for breaking the ice, but rarely leading to connection, something inspiring or meaningful. It’s exhausting. It feels like a performance. Despite being surrounded by lots of people, the absence of authentic connection and meaningful conversations can often leave many feeling a little lonely or like we don't belong. Authentic You Me was born with a desire to change that. --- This is for you if...
