About this event

Some friendships begin with a simple conversation. Others begin with a shared story.

There's no assigned book or reading list. Just bring whatever you're currently reading, whether it's a novel, a memoir, or a book you've been trying to finish for months.

Most of us came here from somewhere else, and this time the conversation will keep coming back to that: finding a place that feels like home, and starting over. Any book works for it.

What to expect

Introductions, and the books we each brought

Everyone reads a short passage out loud and says why it stayed with them
A proper conversation about the books: who we'd want to meet, what didn't work, and what felt a bit too close to home
We finish at 13:00. Feel free to stay if you want to keep talking ☕

Note: Ticket does not include the cost of coffee

What's included

A host who keeps the conversation going, so nobody has to fill a silence
Questions for the discussion that work with any book, fiction or not
A small group of women who read and aren't in a rush
No pressure to be "well-read" or to have finished your book

Anu

Lisbon-based, India- and Japan-shaped. After 15+ years in HR and people development around the world, I’m building a new chapter here. I’m here to create a sense of belonging — for myself and anyone else looking for genuine connection in a new city.

FAQ

1. Can I come alone?
Absolutely. Most girls come alone, and that’s exactly why NGC exists. You’ll be welcomed from the moment you arrive.

2. I’m new / introverted / shy — is this for me?
Yes Our events are designed to feel cozy, not overwhelming. There’s no pressure to be “on” or to talk nonstop—connections happen naturally.

3. Do I need to know anyone beforehand?
Not at all. Many attendees are meeting for the first time, and the space is curated to make that feel easy and natural. However, the more that you come to our events, the more people you will meet again!

4. What’s the age range?
NGC events are open to women of different ages, backgrounds, and experiences. What connects us is the desire for genuine connection.
