The Heroine’s Journey Membership
Become a friend of The Heroine’s Journey for Euro 60 for One Year.
When we are on our heroine’s journey we sometimes believe we are alone. A lot of our creative work as writer, artist, musician, designer is done alone. Sometimes we meet people we have a creative connection with. It seems to happen rather mysteriously: we talk of somewhat randomly ‘clicking’ with people. Trying to plan for it sounds like cheating. But in a busy world, the desire to socialise authentically, with interesting, passionate, like-minded people, deserves to be addressed directly.
That’s why we created The Heroine’s Journey Friends. Membership gives you access to a year-long series of regular conversation drinks in a city in your country, each one anchored around a big idea we’ll discuss over drinks and food. Every month, in a central venue in Rome, Florence, Milan, Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga, Berlin, München, Sevilla, Amsterdam, London, Paris, New York, Brussel, Melbourne or Antwerp, we come together with other members of the diverse and bright community of the The Heroine’s Journey. At each event, you’ll be offered a conversation menu and systematically (and entertainingly) introduced to everyone else in the room. If you enjoy our work, you will find kindred spirits. The evenings are guaranteed to be stimulating and reassuring – as well as prompts to genuine connection and insight.
The Programme Includes
- Access to the cycle of regular Friends’ conversation drinks in central Rome, Florence, Milan, Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga, Berlin, München, Sevilla, Amsterdam, London, Paris, New York, Brussel, Melbourne or Antwerp venues, plus a free ticket to the first event.
- Subsequent Friends’ events cost as little as Euro 30 per ticket.
- The right to invite each year 25 of your creative friends to tell their story on the Heroine’s Journey website as free publicity.

- The right to upgrade your story on The Heroine’s Journey website with pictures of professional photographers and up to five pages of text on the questionaire.
The programme lasts for 12 months, after which you will be asked if you’d like to renew your subscription. If you like you can buy a friends membership for someone else.
The price of The Heroine’s Journey membership is Euro 60
