What’s a Gatherly event like? It’s like this! ☝🏼 This was taken at Gatherly’s recent Sit With Us Picnic Pop Up held at Beacon Hill Park in Victoria 🧺 Just like every Gatherly event I’ve been to, it was a very low pressure, chill and welcoming environment where I got to meet and chat with people who live in Victoria ✨ There were snacks, funny stories and a group game of jenga! 🍪 Most importantly, it was an evening spent outside and together IRL!! If you’ve been thinking about attending one of these events, I hope this helps convince you to go!! 🫶🏼Follow @joingatherly for upcoming events 💚 and go!!!!#lilthingsproj #victoriabc #victoriaevents #yyjevents #community by @joingatherly
