Sistr Social: Talking 'Bout An Evolution

You read that right, we're meeting up in person! For drinks, chats, hugs and a brilliant panel from some of our amazing Sistrs on how they've evolved. Dani Wallace, Cynthia Fortlage and our very own Emma Sayle know a thing or two about the rich tapestry that is life and how its challenges have made them the awesome Sistrs they are today. They'll tell you their stories with a massive dose of humour and some true talk. What more do you need for maximum inspiration, particularly after the 18+ mths we've all had.

If you haven't been to a Sistr event before, you're in for a treat. They're super friendly, you'll have a great time when you're there and glow for days afterwards. So come along to London's The Fore Gym, grab a glass of Thomson & Scott fizz and let's feel the love.
