Networking groups near Stroud, E6

Vibrant dance classes with a warm social afterwards to mingle! ✨ . Dance is singularly more effective at improving symptoms of depression and anxiety than antidepressants, CBT, other forms of exercise like yoga (renowned for mind-body benefits) and even therapy! Dancing regularly is effectively a holistic health insurance policy for your mental, emotional and physical wellbeing 🥰✨ . We combine the somatic therapy of dance with the second silver bullet for health: community. No more rushed conversations as fellow students are leaving - we follow our classes with a warm social so that you can really meet the wonderful souls you dance with and build a genuine community 🌷✨ . We kick off our brand new group with our *Bachata Heels* class (event details to come!), where we nurture your feminine energy, projecting your softness in an elegant yet empowered way. Learn to dance in heels and tap in to the goddess inside ✨ . The class will be followed by a social somewhere nearby, to get a drink after the class, or a bite to eat while you connect with other like-minded souls 🌿 . In future, we’ll aim to add more dance styles including Reggaeton, Salsa, Commercial and Contemporary ☺️ but this group is to nurture the dance scene in Stroud, so join us to shape what dance styles YOU’d like to see in future!

North Avon Speakers is a fun, friendly public speaking club. We usually meet every first and third Thursday of the month at BAWA Filton. Meetings start at 7:30pm and finish by 9:30pm. We generally usually have between 20 and 25 people attending a meeting. Currently we are usually having the first Thursday of the month as a Hybrid meeting, that's in person and online via Zoom at the same time, with the 3rd Thursday of the month as a in person only meeting. Having both types of meetings available is probably generally a good idea, (but hybrid does need time before the meeting to set up well!) You are welcome to join and come along as a guest, a member, or even back as a former member. Generally we would give a guest three meetings to attend for free, before we would like them to join the club if they haven't already. It is in your interest to join and be a member, because then you can do speeches and take part in meeting roles. Also the costs to be a member is very reasonable for what you get! North Avon Speakers Club is part of Toastmasters International, a non-profit worldwide network of 12,500 clubs with over 260,000 members spread across 116 countries. To visit the Toastmasters International website: [http://www.toastmasters.org/](http://www.toastmasters.org/) Update: I believe at least one club is in around 144 countries now! North Avon Speakers Club was chartered in 1992, and we celebrated our 30th Anniversary in 2022! North Avon Speakers Club is also the founding club of three other clubs, one of which was in Wales back in the 1990's, and in the past few years, our club has also founded a club in Bath, but also a Bristol Central club as well. Why join a public speaking club? • To overcome a fear of public speaking or just build confidence when presenting to an audience • To prepare for a specific event such as a wedding speech or an important presentation • To develop effective communication and leadership skills that are valuable in many areas of life • It’s also a great way to meet new and interesting people – we’re a pretty sociable bunch!

Salam! Welcome to a new Muslim meet up group, based in Bristol! We are a Muslim-run group expanding the social circle and community for people who are new in town and local to the area. The aim is build a Muslim network by exploring what Bristol has to offer (and surroundings), get involved in activities while getting to know one another. Activities such as board game evenings, movie nights, open mic/spoken word, annual summer BBQ/picnics, mini getaways, annual or biannual stargazing/meteor shower events, city/urban walks, and more. We are open to suggestions! Most importantly, I hope this encourages Muslims (new in town, new to Islam, etc) to connect during Ramadan where it can be quite alien observing the month on your own and celebrating Eid ul Fitr and Eid Al Adha alone. Welcome to everybody of all ages, demographics, religious background too etc. House rules: \- Please do let the organiser know if you are bringing a guest\. A lot of events require bookings and some need deposits\. It allows them time to amend the booking\. \- Please do let the organiser know if you are no longer coming and take off your name\. If there are 3x no\-shows for booked events\, you will be removed from joining future events which require bookings/deposits\.
