So there we all were, seated in an ornate ballroom with Murano chandeliers that had seen countless visitors and distinguished club members throughout the years. When our friend Pat Vella opened the event, we listened intently as she relayed some historic details about The Casino Maltese. A roaring applause followed Pat’s mention that the venue had for a long time been a “men-only” club and continued “look at us today, 250 of us in one room. Amazing…amazing…thank you!”

  2. 21st November 2019, The Casino Maltese, Valletta So there we all were, seated in an ornate ballroom with Murano chandeliers that had seen countless visitors and distinguished club members throughout the years. When our friend Pat Vella opened the event, we listened intently as she relayed some historic details about The Casino Maltese.

From here began this momentous occasion which had been building up for almost a year! SHE Co-founder Sarah Woods beamed as she welcomed our guests, participants and sponsors while behind the scenes, the team worked tirelessly to ensure things would run smoothly. We wanted the event to be extra special and so we called on a few of our friends and ladies we admire to share their stories, expertise, musical and dance talents with us!

Our guest speakers this time were hospitality professional and mindset coach Robyn Pratt, Language school founding director Rebecca Bonnici, small entrepreneur, blogger and cancer survivor Lorinda Mamo and consultant psychiatrist Dr Rachel Taylor-East. The topic for the day focused on mental health and wellbeing through the experiences relayed by our panelists who joined SHE Co-founder Julia Perry on stage.

Next we welcomed intuitive body coach Cat Moyle who opened our eyes and got us moving to the rhythm of our female cycle and later HR professional Mikela Fenech Pace delivered an outstanding talk which centered around the wellbeing of company employees.

As the drinks flowed and food prepared by our hosts Corinthia Caterers replenished, we enjoyed networking and browsing all the delightful stalls by local, women-owned brands. From the piano flowed classical notes played by music teacher Thea Saliba and back for a second time, sister song-writer duo The New Victorians transported us on an emotional journey with original tracks including a song from their recent production “Mara” performed last August at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

The whole day culminated in an equally moving ensemble by the talented girls at Seed Dance Studios led by teacher extraordinaire Marisha Bonnici and once again, as if all in a daydream, we walked away feeling empowered and carrying a lovely gift box by Debenhams Beauty as a token of our time shared together.

This event was sponsored by Corinthia Caterers, Perry Estate Agents, Rebecca Kamsky Photography, Debenhams Malta, Oasis Malta, Debenhams Beauty, Studio Seven and MINT Wellness.
