What if one drink could help you slow down and truly connect?
In our fast-paced professional lives, we often network on “autopilot,” exchanging titles rather than stories. Join Cristi Kaido, certified wellness coach and founder of The Mindful Mixer, alongside nutritionist Emily Gozy, for an experience designed to help you reset, reconnect, and build more meaningful relationships.
The Experience:
This is more than just a mixology class; it is a shared sensory experience. Together, we will craft the Camu Camu Refresher—a vibrant, mojito-style mocktail. By engaging in this tactile process alongside others, we move past small talk and into a space of genuine presence.
Building Real Connections This session utilizes the art of the “slow down” to foster community:
Shared Activity: Creating something together breaks down social barriers and serves as a natural icebreaker.
Mindful Presence: When we are present in our own bodies, we become better listeners and more empathetic communicators.
Nutritional Synergy: Emily Gozy will discuss how nourishing our bodies with antioxidants like Camu Camu supports the brain health needed for social engagement and clarity.
The Sipping Ritual: We close with a collective moment of pause—a shared ritual that turns a room of individuals into a connected community.
The Takeaways:
- ✅ Craft: One handcrafted Camu Camu Refresher.
- ✅ Connect: Engage with like-minded professionals in a relaxed, intentional environment.
- ✅ Learn: Nutrition and ingredient education focused on functional well-being.
- ✅ Integrate: Communication and mindfulness habits to improve your professional relationships.
“This is more than just a drink. It’s a bridge to a more present version of yourself and a more authentic way of connecting with others.”
Event Details Speakers: Cristi Kaido & Emily Gozy
Focus: Wellness, Mindfulness, and Community Building
? Why this works for relationship building: Low Pressure: Focus on the “doing” (making the drink) reduces the anxiety of traditional networking. Common Language: Everyone is learning about the ingredients and the ritual at the same time, creating an immediate common ground. Memorable: People remember how you made them feel. By facilitating a “reset,” you become associated with a sense of calm and clarity.
