The Art of Being
An evening of discovery, connection and being present.
A thoughtfully curated gathering for rest, discovery, meaningful connection and shared enjoyment.
Partners
Join us at the beginning.
Nurturing Minds is building a programme of in-person gatherings, beginning with The Elsewhere Experience. We invite organisations to partner with one event or several, and to help shape each one from the start.

The experience
An in-person gathering of rest, connection and enjoyment.
Music, artistic expression, interactive activities, facilitated conversations and moments of rest and reflection, designed as one connected experience. Every activity is optional.
We are building it for curious, open-minded people: students, young professionals, entrepreneurs and creatives, along with anyone drawn to wellbeing, culture and connection. Audience research will shape the final programme.

Where you could fit
The event we are building now.
Each event has its own date, place and audience. Partner with one, or talk to us about several.
Why partner with us
The best moment to join is the beginning.
Founding partners gain what later partners cannot: the chance to help define the experience from the start.
Founding position
Be part of the launch of a new platform from day one, and stay associated with it as it grows.
A curious audience, in person
Meet students, young professionals, entrepreneurs and creatives face to face, not through a screen.
An association that means something
Link your name with creativity, wellbeing, culture and personal growth, values that resonate with this audience.
Taking part, not passing by
An in-person setting where people take part and talk, so your brand is experienced rather than scrolled past.
A voice in shaping it
Early partners influence how the experience takes form, including how their brand fits into it.
A route into what follows
An early partnership is the natural starting point for taking part in future events.
How we partner
Built around what your organisation wants to achieve.
There is no fixed package. We shape each partnership with the organisation involved.
- IntroductionWe present the concept in full and hear what matters to your organisation.
- AlignmentWe find where your goals and the experience meet.
- AgreementWe agree the partnership and your role in the event.
Ways to take part
These are starting points for a conversation, not a menu.
- Financial support. Helping the first edition happen.
- An in-kind contribution. Goods, services or space that the evening needs.
- Programme collaboration. Working with us on something guests take part in.
- A combination of these.
What we look for
- Partners are chosen for what they add to the experience, not for visibility alone.
- A partnership should complement the evening and never compromise its purpose or atmosphere.
- Faith shapes our values, and nothing is required of any guest. We look for partners who respect that.
- We do not name partners, or imply an endorsement, until it is agreed in writing.
