Women Changemakers Gathering in HK: Mandala Drawing Workshop

A safe place for women changemakers (and aspiring women changemakers) to meet one another;

A small-scale gathering where you can actually have intentional conversations with everyone;

A community you show up and participate equally as an agent of change;

A space to exchange stories and find inspirations to bring collective impact;

A tribe you can come back to as your support network and build intergenerational friendships.

This is what this gathering is about. For women changemakers.

Join us for the Women Changemakers Gathering on Sunday, October 19, from 2 PM to 4 PM at Dream Impact in Hong Kong. This empowering event, organized by Carmen Chan of Girls Be Change and Dorothy Lam of Dream Impact, and co-hosted by Venus Lau of Home Awake, will focus on harnessing the transformative power of creativity and self-discovery. Participants will engage in a "Find Your Soul Power" Mandala Workshop, inspired by Carl Jung's insights into the unconscious and the soul. No drawing skills are required; just bring your curiosity and an open heart as we explore our inner selves and recognize our potential. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with like-minded women and spark meaningful change!

It is a gathering where everyone shows up as an equal participant, questioning and chatting. No panel. No presentation. No speech. Just intentional conversations.

Event language: Mainly English (with supplementary Cantonese)

What is Women Changemakers Community Series?

The idea began in the summer of 2023 when two changemakers in Hong Kong, Carmen (Girls Be Change) and Dorothy (Dream Impact), questioned and envisioned what an ideal community is. We need a safe place among women changemakers to have organic meetups, intentional conversations and idea exchange with social ease, find inspirations and encouragement from each other, and build authentic friendships and support networks.

The first Women Changemakers Community Gathering was held in Hong Kong on March 8, 2024 at International Women’s Day. Ever since then, Girls Be Change cohosted with 20 (and counting) organizations and gathered over 200 (and counting) women changemakers in Hong Kong, Indonesia (Jakarta), Kenya (Nairobi), Tanzania (Dar es Salaam), Denmark (Copenhagen), Peru (Lima), and the U.S (New York). With 19+ in-person gatherings around the globe, a vibrant community of global women changemakers was formed and connected virtually to raise questions, exchange ideas, and celebrate wins.
