Networking with Intention: Cultivating Connections with Meaningful Conversations

Step away from traditional networking and into something more intentional in celebration of International Women's Day.

Join the Cowichan Women’s Business Network, in partnership with WeBC and Community Futures Cowichan, for an evening of thoughtfully structured, small-group connection hosted in the beautifully curated setting of Style Sense Furniture, a locally owned, woman-led business. Surrounded by cozy living-room spaces and micro seating areas, you’ll rotate through guided conversation pods designed to spark meaningful dialogue.

How It Works

After arrival and mingling, we’ll introduce the evening and then move into:

✨ Three Intentional Rounds of Connection

• Small pods of 4–6 participants

• 15 minutes per round

• Thoughtful prompt questions provided

• Equal 2-minute sharing time per person

• Gentle facilitation and built-in timing

• 5-minute refresh/reset break between rounds

• New pod for each round

  
  

This format ensures meaningful airtime, deeper listening, and authentic connection.

Why Attend?

Because strong communities are built on real conversations.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, leader, creative, or professional woman in the Cowichan Valley, this event offers:

• Aligned connections rooted in shared values

• Space to share meaningful conversation

• A refreshing alternative to traditional networking

• An opportunity to celebrate International Women’s Day through collaboration and community
