We will moderate this unique event which will allow us to gain invaluable insight as to how we can further our own professional and personal development from these individuals in a relaxed, casual setting. There will be a panel consisting of the best business professionals to answer questions and discuss what is to come in our city.

Attention all Brunch Babes!

This month at Brunch for the Soul, we’re digging deep. For the month of May, we will tune in and get aligned with the soul to MANIFEST our goals, passions and dreams.

But before we do that, guests will indulge in a beautiful sweet and savory brunch buffet, sip mimosas from an assorted mimosa bar and learn how to macrame their very own plant hanger! After ice breakers and networking, we’ll be working with Victoria from Heart over Harvest to guide us through an hour-long macrame class! Through the art of macrame, attendees will practice the same patience, skill and persistence required to manifest their dreams.

By the end of the event, each guest will leave with a handmade macrame plant hanger, a new plant baby, an empowering mantra and a new friend!

There are 23 seats available for this intimate experience! 10 early birds and 13 general admissions! Grab yours while you can!

*Brunch for the Soul is a Baton Rouge-based brunch series for women. Created by journalist and entrepreneur Cynthea Corfah, Brunch for the Soul is a bi-monthly event created to make women feel empowered, inspired and supported.*
