Founder's note

From Yana

Hello, beautiful souls,

My name is Yana, and I am the founder of She Unfolds. After a traumatic divorce, followed by therapy and a deep journey of self-discovery, I felt a strong calling to create a safe and welcoming space for women. A place where we can come together for meaningful conversations, form genuine friendships, and express our creativity if we wish.

Becoming a 100% single parent overnight placed me in an incredibly unstable and vulnerable chapter of my life. With the love and support of my family and an amazing circle of friends, I slowly found the strength to lift myself up and continue my journey as a mother, a woman, and a friend to those around me.

She Unfolds was born from this experience. It took time for me to discover where I wanted to pour my heart, energy, and creativity, but I knew I wanted to create something that could support and uplift others. This project allows me to combine my knowledge, abilities, and creativity while building a community where women from all backgrounds and walks of life feel seen, supported, and free to be themselves.

Through themed talks and lectures, followed by relaxed craft sessions shared over a glass of wine and some nibbles, my hope is to offer a space where you can unwind, connect, learn something new, and perhaps even discover something new about yourself.

She Unfolds is more than a social club. It is a space for connection, growth, creativity, and belonging, and I am deeply passionate about bringing it to life.

I can't wait to welcome you.

Real conversations

An evening that feels different

Real conversations. Real women. Real connection.

Join an intimate evening designed for women who crave honesty, depth, and meaningful connection.

This is not a networking event. Not a lecture you quietly sit through. And definitely not small talk.

Instead, gatherings explore real-life themes through a thought-provoking talk, followed by open discussion, creativity, and relaxed connection over light refreshments.

What to expect

  • A themed talk that reflects real women's lives.
  • Space for thoughtful conversation and Q&A.
  • A gentle, creative session with no experience needed.
  • Light refreshments and time to unwind and connect.
  • A warm, welcoming, unpretentious atmosphere.

Whether you come alone or with a friend, you will be met exactly where you are.
