I'm Here Because
I appreciate the power of connections both personally and professionally. This could be an opportunity for some support and mentoring.

It's Focus And Fun
The sessions are great and allow me to try activities which I wouldn’t have tried. I like the thought provoking questions. I know some were less serious but this made it all the more interesting. I don’t normally focus on my mind and that is the best bit for me.
Anna
In An Inclusive Environment
It's encouraging and meeting people from all backgrounds and life experiences to get together and talk/share ideas ... in a way that I will stay motivated to do and enjoy.
Andrea
And Fit For Workplace

There are so many avenues to explore!

Prefer orange squash to red squash
More feedback (and squash discussions).
Intrigue.
Intrigue brought me here. It's a great concept. I ticked orange but I'm not really a squash person. Not so keen on stinging nettles!
Chris
Foraging.
It’s a great idea and I would love to come back and be more specific in the talk and the teaching ... I would love to walk and forage!
Katie
Contribution.
I really enjoyed getting to know people better when we were discussing the answers to the questions we'd randomly drawn. I'd love to see sections of the other sessions encouraging everyone to contribute too.

Debate.
Introducing a discussion topic was a good way to enable connection while avoiding potential awkwardness due to not knowing what to say etc. Red squash is preferred but a lot depends on the flavour - I don't like cherry-flavoured things, despite liking actual (black, fresh) cherries.
