Beach Walk South-East Melbourne | Wing-person Event (Meet & Greet)

Brighton Beach Station
Brighton VIC, Australia
Add to calendar
 

Event description

What better way to meet new friends than to enjoy a casual walk by the beachside as the sunsets. Find yourself a wing-person who can join you at future events. This walk is a unique opportunity to meet up with Melbourne locals (and any overseas visitors) for a relaxed evening of meaningful connections, whilst enjoying the colourful scenery from Brighton to St Kilda.

WHO GOES?

"Beach Walk" is designed to connect you with like-minded people through sharing a mutually enjoyable experience. This event is best suited to people within the age range of late 20's to mid 50's and those who consider themselves "young-at-heart". Note: majority of people attending are single.

Our events usually attract fun-loving professionals, experienced travellers, those who enjoy outdoor activities, (most tend to lean left politically), people with an interest in health or personal development, and ALL prefer extended face-to-face conversations (as opposed to swiping, typing, night clubs or speed dating).

FACILITATOR / HOST / MODERATOR

Your host for the morning is the effervescent Sarah (Mojo Mingle's founder). She loves meeting new people and has been passionately hosting social gatherings since 2015. She will ensure you feel welcome and included throughout the walk. Her role is to facilitate connections between guests by getting to know you; so you arrive as strangers, and leave having made new friends.

BONUS: Sarah is also a matchmaker and will be keeping an eye out for potential matches for her premium clients.


PRE-EVENT PREPARATION

Prepare two truths and one lie to share with the group for the ice-breaker activity. This helps other people feel more comfortable around you as they'll learn interesting things about you to enquire about later one. Ice-breakers help veryone overcome the fear of starting conversations with strangers... allowing you to easily slip into chit chat after we've all shared our stories.

Watch the video below to learn more about playing two truths and one lie. NOTE: Sarah doesn't condone lying in real life... just when playing this game :)
