If you’re reading this: Congratulations, we’ve made it through 69 days of 2019! Now that reality has settled back in and you need a break from the monotony of life, we’ve got loads of parties and events lined up this week, from our very own Naked Nights, to performances by the legendary DJ Ata. We know you’re always up for a boozy good time, so we threw in this year’s St Patrick’s Day Street Festival, too.
Naked Nights Presents: Personal Transformation
In an era where anything more than double texting our crush appears to be social suicide, running for the hills when someone tells you to open up to them might seem like the most logical thing to do. If you can relate, Naked Nights celebrates vulnerability – because it’s usually when and how real growth, creativity, and connections coccur – by making it fun, inclusive, and celebratory. Inspired by International Woman’s Day and an event theme “Personal Transformation”, look forward to an all-female lineup of storytellers that will be exploring the embrace of change, shifting of narratives, and becoming the best versions of ourselves. Need a little inspiration before embarking on your own Eat, Pray, Love journey? Then pop by for an inspirational yarn or two.
No, not in the physical sense — we’re talking emotional vulnerability. To most of us, doing But don’t go running for the hills when — it doesn’t have to be a sombre affair.
Naked Nights Presents: Personal Transformation is happening at Distrii Singapore, Singapore 048619, from March 13 2019, 7pm — 9.30pm. Admission is free. Want to share your own stories? Click here.
