Introducing: The 'Slow Builders Club'

Come and join the 'Slow Builders Club' with guest Verity Cooper @iamverityiris hosted by Francesca Langton Kendall, Founder of ALIGN

You know something needs to change, but you can't figure out if that means changing your career, redesigning the one you're in or building your own business.

Maybe you’ve outgrown your job. Maybe you’re craving more creativity, more freedom, more meaning. Maybe you have an idea quietly sitting in the back of your mind, but you haven’t fully figured it out yet.

Slow Builders Club is for people in that in-between stage.

Not founders with a polished pitch deck.
Not freelancers with a solid client base.
Just thoughtful, ambitious people who know they want more from work and life, even if they can’t fully explain what that looks like yet.

This is a space for the people who are:

• questioning their current career path
• sitting on half-formed ideas
• dreaming about building something of their own
• looking for creative, ambitious people who “get it”
• ready for change, but unsure what the first step is

There are countless events for people who already have the answers. This is for the people still finding them.

Expect a relaxed evening of conversation at Beach Box Spa (my favourite place in Brighton), a personal career pivot story from guest speaker Verity who left her job as a six-figure headhunter and transformed her entire identity into a salsa queen, a guided sauna session with free time to mingle and use the saunas at your own pace and warming cacao around the fire to end the evening. Most people will come alone. The goal is to leave with new people in your corner, collaborators, friends, or maybe even your future business partner?!

No awkward elevator pitch.
No pretending to have it all figured out.
No pressure to “network.”

Just honest conversations with people who are slowly building towards something.

What to expect

• A curated group of thoughtful, ambitious people
• A guided and reflective sauna session focusing on what currently feels misaligned for you
• Cold plunge and sea dips (weather permitting!) in between sauna sessions
• Casual connections and guided conversation prompts
• Hear from featured guest Verity Cooper @iamverityiris  around the fire on her journey from corporate job to salsa queen
• Warming cacao from Higher Ground to end the evening
• Space to talk openly about work, ambition, creativity, and change
• A welcoming environment for solo attendees

What to bring

• Swimwear
• Beach shoes / flip flops - ESSENTIAL
• Your own reusable water bottle to hydrate during sessions (we have water onsite for you to refill)
• 2 towels - one for sauna benches, one for drying
• Bath robe / dry robe - optional
• Please Do not bring your own products and oils, for health and safety reasons, these can not be used in our saunas
• Please shower before, or on arrival to remove products/sunscreen
• Eat and hydrate well before having a sauna, but try to leave a 2 hour gap between a meal and coming to the sauna
• Please read the sauna waiver and terms and conditions before you come

Slow Builders Club will run monthly, alternating between London and Brighton.

Come as you are. You do not need a business idea, a side hustle, or a plan. Just curiosity about what could come next.
