Dating apps got you burned out? We feel you. That’s why we started Tide Collective Singles — to create laid-back events for people who actually want to meet other local singles in a fun, natural way in real life.

What to know: One ticket = one person, and your name must be on our guest list to enter. If your name is used to buy multiple tickets, the extras will be refunded. Ages 25-45 welcome . We'll be hosting more age-specific events soon. Please plan a safe way home — Uber, Lyft, or a designated driver. Refunds are available up to 3 days before the event. After that, tickets are non-refundable, but you’re welcome to transfer to someone else — just let us know the new name. Follow us on Instagram @tidecollectivesingles to keep up with new events, updates, and more.

For many of us the digital age has brought many benefits but also many distractions. These distractions take us away from traditional well-being practices: Connection. Being active. Taking notice of the present. Continuous learning. Giving back. Disconnect is here to bring us back to our peaceful, creative essence whilst building a connected like-minded community. We will meet at the Mansion House before taking a guided leisurely walk into the stunning surrounding nature. Expect to feel the magic of nature to wash over you as move through the trees to the soundtrack of birdsong . We return reenergised for a guided meditation session using the healing power of the sound bath led by an expert well-being practioner. The afternoon will end with the opportunity to connect with fellow community members sharing experiences and building relationships. As well as enjoying the afternoon together we will give back to our charity partner for this event, Age UK Croydon donating 25% of ticket proceeds to support their vital services. Please note that the use of phones goes against the concept of "Disconnecting" . Community members are encouraged to leave their phones at home or have them switched off during the event.

In business, the delivery of your spoken word has an extremely important link to your success. It’s all about what you’re saying…and…how you’re saying it. This applies to all aspects of your working world, including when you’re out networking, giving a presentation or update to your colleagues and/or to clients; as a team member, interacting with others; or in your management role, giving tricky feedback to a junior colleague. Getting this right can make a real difference, which is why we are so pleased to be facilitating this event with the expert, Hugh Vivian of ROCKsalt Training. During this morning session, Hugh will explain more about how to hone your spoken word, asking you to reflect on what you are saying and how you are saying it. Are you making sense? Are you concise? Do you have enthusiasm and energy? Can you build rapport…people who deliver their spoken word, who can speak with confidence, conviction and clarity have mastered all of these… and so can you. We do hope you can join us; refreshments including teas and coffees, as well as bacon rolls will be available on arrival. We look forward to seeing you there!

This isn’t just a workshop. It’s a reset. A reclaiming. A skillset for the world we’re walking into. AI is transforming how we work, communicate, create and live. But too many women still feel unsure, overwhelmed, or left out of the conversation. Not anymore. AI for Her is an in-person workshop designed for women who want to feel confident using AI without jargon, without judgment, and without feeling like they’re “too late.” Whether you’re building a business, growing a career, or returning from maternity leave and wondering what’s changed this session will give you the knowledge, language, and tools to step forward with clarity. A Note from Lois I’m Lois, founder of Work Smarter with AI. I'm passionate about helping women use AI to reclaim time, grow in confidence, and lead with impact. I believe women must take up space in the AI world. Not just because it’s the future but because if we’re not part of shaping it, we risk being left behind. AI is already influencing how we live, work, and connect. It’s essential that it represents us our values, our voices, and our needs. That’s why I teach AI in a way that’s practical, empowering, and inclusive. Whether you’re running a business, navigating your career, or returning from maternity leave, you deserve to feel confident using the tools that are shaping tomorrow. I created this workshop to be a supportive, no-judgement space where women can ask questions, build real skills, and walk away feeling like, “Yes I can do this.” I’d love for you to join us. What We’ll Cover AI and the Big Picture What is AI and how is it impacting our world and the environment? The Importance of Women + AI Why women need to be at the table and the risks of being left out. The Who’s Who of AI Not just ChatGPT: I explore the range of tools, platforms, and possibilities. GenAI: What It Is + Why It Matters A simple breakdown of generative AI and how it’s reshaping industries, creativity, and communication. Responsible AI: Bias, Ethics + the Gender Gap Understand how to use AI safely and consciously and why inclusion must be part of the future. Prompting 101 Learn how to “speak AI” and get meaningful results that save you time and boost your creativity. Real-Life Use Cases + Demos See how women are already using AI in business and daily life. Live Q&A Ask anything. This is a judgment-free, hype-each-other-up space. You’ll Leave With: A foundational understanding of AI — no jargon, no overwhelm Real confidence to use AI in your life and work A new skill that makes you stand out in a changing job market Connections with like-minded women who want to grow and lead The feeling that you belong in this conversation Information Source: Lois Janos | eventbrite
