Come as you are
Whether you run a business, work for yourself or are exploring a new direction, you’re welcome. Many women who come work in wellness, but the event is open to women from every field.
We keep the group small so there’s time to listen, share what you do and get to know the person behind the work. Come on your own or bring a friend.
A slower kind of networking
Arrive and settle in
There’s time to say hello and have a snack. We begin with a few grounding breaths and simple movement to help us arrive.
Introductions over a Tea Ceremony
We sit together for a Tea Ceremony, with guided introductions happening as we drink. Gentle prompts give everyone a way into the conversation and space to share.
Let the conversations continue
Afterwards, there’s open time to chat, exchange ideas and explore possible collaborations. Optional headshot sessions take place during this part of the morning.
Optional headshot session at the event
We take the headshots after the Tea Ceremony, once you’ve had time to slow down and get to know me. If you’d like a fresh photo for your website, LinkedIn or business, choose the Event + Professional Headshot ticket.
- A 10 to 15 minute mini studio session
- Professional lighting and a fabric backdrop
- One edited image of your choice
- Extra images available to buy afterwards
Hi, I’m Anasta
I’m a London portrait photographer and mindful workshop facilitator. My work brings together photography, movement and conversation.
I host Seen & Connected to make room for women to meet properly, share their work and feel more comfortable being seen. I’ll guide the morning and photograph the optional headshot sessions.
Q&A
Who is Seen & Connected for?
Seen & Connected is a small women’s networking event in London. You’re welcome whether you run a business, work for yourself or are exploring a new direction. Women from every field can join, including those who work in wellness.
I’ve never been to a networking event and feel nervous. Is this for me?
Yes, you’re very welcome. I created Seen & Connected to feel gentle and cosy, with a small group and a homely atmosphere. It’s more like getting together with friends, with space to share what you do and make useful connections.
Where is the event?
At my apartment studio in Bounds Green, North London, 3 minutes’ walk from Bounds Green station. You’ll receive an email with the Arrival Guide before the event.
What happens during the Tea Ceremony?
We sit together and start with a few grounding movements and breaths to help you arrive and release some of the stress of the city. Then I begin the Tea Ceremony, and we slowly ease into introductions as we sip tea. It’s a chance to share from a more grounded place, in a small group, without the pressure of presenting yourself at a big networking event.
Can I come without booking a headshot?
Yes. Choose the event-only ticket to join the Tea Ceremony, introductions and networking. The photography session is optional and is included with the Event + Professional Headshot ticket.
How does the headshot session work?
The headshot sessions take place during the open networking time after the Tea Ceremony. Each session lasts 10 to 15 minutes, with professional studio lighting and a fabric backdrop. Your ticket includes one edited image of your choice, with the option to buy extra images afterwards.
How do I choose and receive my headshot?
Within 3 to 5 days after the event, I’ll send you a link to a private gallery. You can choose your favourite image or buy additional ones. After you’ve made your selection, I’ll edit and send your final photograph or photographs.
How much are tickets and how do I book?
The event ticket is £21. The Event + Professional Headshot ticket is £55. Eventbrite booking fees apply. Headshot places are limited, and you can check current availability and book your place on Eventbrite.
What should I bring?
Wear comfortable clothes for the Tea Ceremony, which takes place seated on the floor. Some cushions are provided, and you can bring your own for extra support. Bring business cards, flyers or small product samples if you’d like to share your work.
What if I have access or seating needs?
The Tea Ceremony takes place on the floor. If you have access or seating needs, please get in touch before booking so we can discuss what you need.
