Impact Lunches
Impact Lunches
Since early 2018, I have hosted and curated more than 16 “Seeds Impact Lunches: Connecting dots” gathering people doing good things in Ōtautahi Christchurch together every few months.
Take the chance to network and meet others who are pushing boundaries in their own unique ways across disciplines. Watch my social media for when the next ones will be.

Inspiration
The Impact Lunches were inspired by this quote:
“For two decades in Christchurch, New Zealand, a cast of extraordinary men and women remade the arts. Variously between 1933 and 1953, Christchurch was the home of Angus and Bensemann and McCahon, Curnow and Glover and Baxter, the Group, the Caxton Press and the Little Theatre, Landfall and Tomorrow, Ngaio Marsh and Douglas Lilburn. It was a city in which painters lived with writers, writers promoted musicians, in which the arts and artists from different forms were deeply intertwined.“
– Peter Simpson, from his book Bloomsbury South: The Arts in Christchurch 1933-1953
