Valencia, Spain • Bloom Picnic
Join us for a casual picnic in the beautiful Turia Gardens 🌿
Grab a blanket, find a spot on the grass, and settle in for an easy evening of good conversation and good company. The idea is simple: more time to chat, meet Bloomers you haven't crossed paths with yet, and get to know each other a little better.
📍 Turia Gardens, near Palau de la Música

🧺 What to bring
A blanket or towel, and a snack/drink for yourself or to share, if you'd like. Look for the Bloom sign and name tags to find us!
🌧️ If the weather doesn't cooperate
Our backup will be Bar Martínez, about a 10-minute walk away. Details will be shared closer to the date if needed.
💚 A question to carry with you (optional)
For anyone who likes having something to think about beforehand, here's a gentle prompt for our smaller conversations:
How did you end up in the impact space? What drew you in, and is there a story, experience, or moment that feels especially meaningful to share?
