Following a spectacular Brunch event in July, we’re heading back to the same plush Level 4 Event Space for an equally engaging and encouraging session this September.

We’re continuing a format based around one founder’s inspirational story, and a mini-workshop delivered by the same speaker. That way, attendees are having fun, building relationships, and yet also walking away with a practical outcome to add value to their professional lives.

Our guest presenter for the November Brunch will be the extraordinary Mariana Lennert!

Mariana is a women’s embodiment leadership mentor and master facilitator within the personal development industry. She has facilitated more than 5,000 people through transformational events, retreats, and experiences, and has spoken in front of thousands on live and virtual stages – all while scaling her businesses to multiple six figures.

Typically, Mariana supports ambitious, self-led women who feel disconnected and stuck in the cycle of over-giving and overdoing. Through self-leadership, feminine embodiment, and energetics, Mariana guides women who have built a career and a life, but are ready for more.

After sharing some of her personal journey, Mariana will guide us through a mini workshop designed to help you start thinking about how 2027 could be transformational for your business and yourself.

Mini Workshop: The Next Stage of Your Growth

In this interactive workshop, Mariana will encourage you to explore the beliefs, habits and decisions that can support your next chapter of purpose-led growth. This is designed to help you find fulfilment both personally and professionally.

 What you’ll gain:

  • Greater understanding of your own strengths and some limiting beliefs
  • Ideas for how to ensure that your future plans align with your purpose
  • Genuine connections with like-minded women
  • Inspiration to enter the festive season and the new year feeling empowered and supported

 Naturally, brunch and refreshments are included.

 The event is open to all, though the content will particularly resonate with female founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, leaders, creatives, and students.

Whether you’re just starting out or scaling something meaningful, this is your invitation to grow through clarity, confidence and connection.

DOOR PRIZES & GIFT BAGS 

Everyone goes into the draw to win one of our famously donated female founder door prizes. 

Plus, our gift bags are a hit, and you're invited to add to them! These provide a handy way for our guests and speakers to promote their businesses to one another. If you wish to have some material included within these bags, feel free to bring along approximately 40 small promotional items from your business to place into the bags on arrival.

We love sharing: gift vouchers // membership offers // coupon codes // discounted event or workshop tickets. Why not create a special "Brunch" promotion to drive your sales further?
