The W Project hosted another magnificent meal where female creatives came together to do what they do best - share and discuss empowering knowledge in an open, uninhibited relaxed environment with delicious food for thought, mind and tummies! Guest speakers gave presentations of their inspirational life journeys inbetween interjectional courses of colourful plates cooked up by Lillie O’Brien and Justine Short from St. John Bread & Wine. Linda Hewson and Emma Gibson from Selfridges showed us how they scourer the world for emerging trends, the process of documentation to finally implementing them in store. The main focus of their message for the event was to follow your intuition as a creative and keep strong in sticking to your own inner true voice and don't be held back by fear from outside forces. This sentiment was echoed and reinforced by life coach and Nike Master trainer Sonja Moses who talked thru simple devices to de-stress and connect mind to body through breathing technique. I think her encouraging and uplifting pearls of wisdom may find her flooded with phone calls for further guidance!!! The third guest who also recruited the whole room to her incredible cause was Hannah Barry who took us on a history lesson from her first encounter of an artist's commune in Peckham to setting up shows, representing and runnng a gallery. She now heads various projects to promote public access to international art - in particular the Bold Tendencies showcase which in itself is a fascinating story.
As with each and every W Project event to date, all attendees left feeling revved up and raring to plough ahead with realising their individual dreams ........... and a little warm and guey with emotion from the rare experience of spending an evening in the company of a room full of like minded spirits..............
Unfortunately Erin O'Conner was unable to attend as host speaker but she will return to the next installment so keep your ear to the ground for more details.........
