OVERRIDE! Connect –
An Evening of Reflection and Connection Through Creativity
with Anne Ditmeyer
Thursday, April 10
18h30-20h30
Chez Kathleen
Join AAWE on April 10th for a playful and thought-provoking evening centered around reflection, creativity, and connection with our guest facilitator, Anne Ditmeyer.
Anne will be bringing one her favorite creative tools, banana mapping, to invite a different kind of exploration while diving into some of the themes of her book, OVERRIDE!. Never mapped on a banana? Never fear! Come along, stay open, get curious, and you never know what you may uncover. For the record, bananas have connective powers, and this will help you get to know your fellow members in a new way. Anne's whole approach is grounded in the idea that this should be FUN! After the introduction and creative exercise there will be lots of time to socialize and connect on new levels.
OVERRIDE! is a little book that invites the big question, “What if there was another way?” The pocket playbook for possibility engages readers through reflective prompts, mindset shifts, and creative exercises to explore creative alternatives for living life and help you break out of default operating systems.
Bring your curiosity, a sense of adventure, and an open mind! You might just walk away with fresh ideas, new friendships, and maybe even a newfound appreciation for bananas.
Copies of OVERRIDE! will be available for sale during the event for 20€, payable via QR code.
Wine and nibbles will be served.
This is a members-only event.
Tickets cost: 9€50 per AAWE Member
Please contact Chloé, AAWE DEIB Chair, if you have any questions.
