European Elpha Members, where are you at?

Posted in:Favors Health & Wellness Personal Growth Elpha Hangs

Hellooo!! I've noticed there are many Elpha women based in the northern American countries - curious if there are any Europeans here who want to connect?

And ideally, women who are deep divers, into self-dev work, travel, wellness and entrepreneurship!

I'd love to connect and chat via a virtual zoom room if you are up for it? 1:1 or group....

Kinda like lunchclub (here is my invite link)! A great place to meet new, interesting people from around the world :)

EDIT 1: The first meetup has been, if you would like to join the next ones please PM me as I won't check the thread down below...

EDIT 2: hehe I forgot to mention where I am! Amanda, nomadic since I was 6 and now settled in southern Spain close to Gibraltar, Dutch/Indo with an Aussie passport, first-time mom to 9 mth Maia, I love connecting people and creating a nurturing space where we all feel heard & seen :)

Aileen·Jun 13, 2022

I’m in Meath, Ireland. Sounds like a great idea. Thanks

amandamulder·Jun 14, 2022

Hi @aileen in Ireland! So lovely to see such a lovely response from everyone everywhere in Europe :) I'll create a doodle for dates and send it to you as a private message :)

lizmueller·Jun 16, 2022

I'm in Dublin in Ireland, nice to see someone else here. :) I'm originally from Wisconsin in the US, been here for 3.5 years now.

Iynna·Jun 19, 2022

Iynna·Jun 14, 2022

amandamulder·Jun 14, 2022

Thank you @iynna! You know your community :)) Have you guys ever done live group calls?

Iynna·Jun 14, 2022

Hehe I think I do :-) We actually host live calls every month! I was actually going to suggest you join that to meet the community.Lately, we have also been experimenting with having a member co-leading the call on a topic that's been submitted and "voted" by the community (see this https://elpha.com/posts/r7jd7g5j/june-elpha-members-chat-what-topics-do-you-want-us-to-discuss) so if this is something of interest to you, would love to get your ideas for July and any other future months (June is set and I'll be releasing info about it shortly :)) I actually meant to ask you to better understand (for feedback and market research purposes) why Lunchclub vs other platforms incl Elpha?

amandamulder·Jun 14, 2022

Oh really! I had no idea! I would love to learn more about those calls. Let me know how to get that ball rolling. As for lunchclub vs other platforms - the ease of setting your availability, then AI matches you with someone interesting and the meeting is scheduled in your calendar. Purely cos of convenience AND actually, you know that these people have signed up wanting to connect on video. On other community platforms perhaps its more about connecting via writing and forums and it's harder to connect with the ones that are into a live call (which is great that you offer that!) Hope that clarifies :)

ceciliamzayek·Jun 14, 2022

I'm half French (half Jordanian) but live in Dubai!

amandamulder·Jun 14, 2022

Bonjour @ceciliamzayek! How is it living in dubai? I'll create a doodle for dates and send it to you as a private message :)

Katham·Jun 14, 2022

Hi Amanda, great idea. I am based in the UK. Would love to connect.

amandamulder·Jun 14, 2022

hi @Catherin3 yay! whereabouts in the UK? I'll create a doodle for dates and send it to you as a private message :)

katerinc·Jun 14, 2022

Hi Amanda,I am Ukrainian, living and working in Milano now. Would be happy to connect! I also noticed that most of the topics here discussed more in the context of Americas, same with companies data. Would be great if that expands to Europe too, because obviously some practices are completely different (salaries, social, etc)Lunchclub is a great platform too, but looks to me that comes in waves :)

amandamulder·Jun 14, 2022

@katerinc ciao! Yes, completely agree and would be interesting to see if Elpha expands the companies to Europe. I'll create a doodle for dates and send it to you as a private message :)

KellyK·Jun 14, 2022

I'm in for a group chat as well - I'm in Vienna, Austria. Great idea :)

amandamulder·Jun 14, 2022

@KellyK oh vienna! one of the cities I have yet to visit. I'll create a doodle and send it to you as a private message :)
