\*\* Please see below AND read the suggestions and other info in the discussions area too\*\* Hey everyone So I've been looking to make new friends in the Merseyside and Cheshire area, to go out for meals, theatre, events etc, maybe weekday evenings, and definitely weekend days and evenings. I'm interested in personal development, spirituality (that's a broad topic, I know), and it would be great to have some friends in the area to meet up with face to face, for events, with common interests. I'm just over 50, but I'd say I'm 35 - 40 mentality and activity, love musicals, classical and pop music, meditation, spirituality and growth. I'm attuned to Reiki master, I'm also an NLP Master practitioner, hypnotherapist and Rapid Transformational Therapy therapist. I've spent too many evenings and weekends alone, as nearly all of my friends are spread literally across the globe, so it would be great to meet up and go for meals, drinks, shows, walks locally and further afield, and maybe events etc, and also some friends to chat with and meet up one to one from time to time, with some like minded people. The group is open to anyone with similar interests. If it resonates with you, let's connect! p.s. I have my two teenagers every other weekend, but when I'm not working with clients in the evenings, I'm usually free Thursday evenings, Sunday evenings, and every other weekend I am often free.

Curious about coffee? Coffee tastings from different origins, roaster showcases and everything in between at Khipu Coffee in the Baltic Triangle.
