As we ease into autumn, the Lili Centre is buzzing with new opportunities to connect, grow and thrive!
This month, we’re excited to introduce a new Mum’s and Tot’s group, perfect for parents looking to meet others in a relaxed, supportive space. Those looking to improve their German can join one of our Stammtisch Groups or take part in A2 and B1 German conversation classes to build confidence and fluency. We’re also hosting several events designed to promote personal growth and support your well-being, including the Women’s Circle, a Parenting Workshop, and a Mastering Boundaries Workshop. Looking for something cultural (and delicious)? Don’t miss our Ukrainian Dumplings Workshop and Afghan-themed International Dinner – two great ways to explore new flavours and connect with others. Finally, take a deep breath and reset with our Movement and Meditation event – the perfect way to centre yourself as the seasons change.
There’s something for everyone this month. Come join us!
