Athene is a welcoming community where women come together to connect, learn, and be inspired.

Since 1971, Athene has been bringing women together each month to hear from engaging speakers who share fresh ideas, diverse perspectives, and thought-provoking stories. Covering local, national, and global topics, our programme provides opportunities for lifelong learning, intellectual enrichment, and meaningful conversation.

More than a lecture series, Athene is a place to build lasting friendships, exchange ideas, and enjoy the company of like-minded women. Following each morning lecture, members gather over tea and light refreshments, creating time to connect, reflect, and continue the conversation.

At Athene, we believe that intellectual enrichment is enhanced through connection. Every gathering offers the opportunity to broaden perspectives, discover new ideas, and strengthen the friendships that have been at the heart of our club for more than 50 years.
