Two members walking together through the city

Friendship,
on purpose

A small club in Lille for women with full lives and room for a few real friendships. We plan the week; you pick what you would like to join.

You arrive on your own; you leave surrounded.

The idea

Somewhere after thirty, friendship stops happening by accident. Aura exists to make it deliberate: something on most weeks, a calendar worth clearing, and a seat kept for you.

The next two months

We put on the evenings, the pilates, the brunches and the trips.

In practice

Same you, new people, new experiences

You don't have to talk to everyone. Turning up is the whole job.

How Aura began

After thirty, life stops holding still. Careers move and people move with them, and the friends you once saw every week are suddenly in another city on another schedule. Getting four women around one table starts to take a month of messages, and most months it quietly doesn't happen.

So things get postponed. The tennis you keep meaning to start, the class you talked about all winter, the trip everyone agreed to in January. And if you have just landed in a new city or a new country, there is nothing to postpone yet: you are starting from nobody at all.

Isil came to Lille as an expat and built a life here from scratch. Céline is French and watched her own circle thin out as everyone got busier. Two versions of the same problem, so they made the thing they had both been waiting for: a club where the sport, the dinner and the weekend are already in the diary, and all you have to do is take a seat.

The activities are already planned. So are the plans. All that is missing is you.
