GROW -2 LAUNCH

I turned up much earlier as I wanted to enjoy the ambience, sounds, sights and scents of the space. 

I have been to several functions hosted by CivSource Africa and I am always amazed by the uniqueness and intentionality of each set up, attention to detail, appeal to all the five senses and more, and their accuracy in making all feel special. This was no different! The theme colors were beige and gold, flowers, mints and favors adorned the white clothed tables. Beige symbolizes simplicity, tranquility, modernism and comfort, soothing, relaxing, encouraging and triggering positive vibes. Gold is associated with illumination, love, compassion, courage, passion and wisdom. Gold is a special metal associated with wealth, grandeur and prosperity, as well as sparkle, glitz and glamour. Assuredly, CSA, intentionally selected these to lay stage to what was yet to happen………..follow me. 

Guests, dressed for the occasion, walked in one by one and from my vantage point I could see they shared my same enthusiasm, admiration, expectations and gratitude. The hall was filled with talk and laughter as we enjoyed the sumptuous breakfast before us. Antonio, the Master of Ceremonies (MC) welcomed us and Catherine, with her awakening voice, introduced the agenda for the day and set the ball rolling. Read more
