A new collaborative networking group in Knoxville is kicking off at Reef Coffee in Farragut, bringing together business owners, creatives, entrepreneurs, and other idea-driven professionals for marketing-focused connections and conversation. It starts with relaxed coffee and casual chat, then moves into a facilitated roundtable centered on brainstorming, branding, customer experience, and creative problem solving aimed at business growth. The discussion is led by Ivana Suter, a creative branding and marketing strategist with Offona Creative Tangent. The atmosphere is welcoming and low pressure, with no formal presentations, and plenty of chances to share what you do, hear fresh perspectives, and trade practical marketing ideas. Attendees can leave with new connections, actionable inspiration, collaborative solutions, and a great cup of coffee. Seating is limited to keep the conversation personal, engaging, and productive.

An immersive sound session invites a gentle inward journey. Jan Coe of Whole Notes Harmony blends the voices of singing bowls, the powerful presence of multiple gongs, and the vibrations of other instruments to shape a calming soundscape that supports balance and inner harmony. Arrive with a receptive mind and heart, allow the tones to settle within, and follow the experience that feels most supportive to you. Many people choose to recline for comfort, so bring blankets and pillows if that appeals to you. If sitting suits you better, chairs are available. Arriving a bit early makes it easier to choose a spot and settle in. A suggested contribution of $25 is appreciated, though optional. Any amount is welcome.
