DINNER CONFIDENTIAL IS A SAFE AND INCLUSIVE SPACE FOR WOMXN /
female-identifying folk to LISTEN to each other's stories with deep
vulnerability and CONFIDENTIALITY. Our mission is to spark a deeper
sense of belonging because when we really feel we belong, we gain the
courage to make positive change in our lives and our world. Each
month we investigate a different social topic globally (we are in over
22 cities around the world!) i.e.: Failure, Sexuality, Courage, etc.
through intimate dinners and then share the learnings with our
community. You can read our stories via Medium
[https://medium.com/@dinnerconfidential] or our website

JANUARY: THURSDAY, 23TH "BELONGING" DINNER --> There are few things
we need more in life than to feel like we truly belong. It's about
feeling seen, accepted and loved for all that we are - even the dark,
scary parts we'd rather hideaway. Belonging is a core human need that
for many of us, never quite feels fulfilled, leaving us feeling
isolated, untethered, anxious or hurt. Let's talk about belonging -
with our families, our relationships, our communities, and with
ourselves. What does feeling like "we belong" look like? What prevents
us from feeling that way? And how can we promote a deeper sense of
belonging in our lives?
*
FEBRUARY: THURSDAY, 20TH "HEALTH" DINNER --> Many of us take our
health (physical, mental, emotional) for granted until something goes
wrong— and when that happens, it becomes all consuming. When we are
not healthy, we can feel fragile, weak and vulnerable. And at times,
we can also feel strong and resilient. How can we transcend the deep
fears we experience when we—or our loved ones—are not healthy? How
can we develop more trust and acceptance? Let’s have an honest
conversation about our health. How we deal with sickness (ours and
others) and what gives us our strength back.

During our intimate dinners (7-10 max), our experienced hosts create a
safe container for women to come together and talk with vulnerability
and honesty about our most personal topics and emotions (e.g.
self-confidence, fear, control).
After each DINNER, we identify the key learnings and insights from the
night and share them with our community so they, too, can benefit from
the experience. You can read our stories via Medium
[https://medium.com/@dinnerconfidential] or our website
[https://dinnerconfidential.org/].
We are currently hosting dinners in over 22 cities around the world,
including New York, Miami, Toronto, Portland, Caracas, Mumbai and
Perth. New cities coming soon. Please get in touch if you'd like to
attend a dinner in one of these cities.
FAQS
DO ATTENDEES KNOW EACH OTHER?
*
Sometimes. But usually, they don’t and that’s part of the magic.
Coming into a place full of strangers to open up and share some of
your most personal experiences is very powerful. No one there knows
your history, you are a blank canvas. People won’t judge you or give
you advice (unless you specifically ask for it). We are there to
listen, share and connect.
DO I NEED TO PREPARE FOR THE DINNER?
*
A little bit! Your host will send all the details of the night via
email, including a few questions for you to reflect upon prior the
Dinner. All Dinners start with an intimate set of introductions, where
each guest shares her stories and is deeply heard.
HOW MUCH ARE THE DINNERS AND WHAT’S INCLUDED?
*
DINNERS ARE $15 and they include a healthy and yummy meal. WE INVITE
OUR GUESTS TO BRING ONE THING TO DRINK (wine, flavored water, etc.).
Note that we are NOT making any profit from these evenings and the fee
only covers the cost. However, if $15 is more than you can
contribute at the moment please contact us via our website and we'll
work it out :)
DO THE MEALS FOLLOW CERTAIN DIETARY GUIDELINES?
*
Our hosts will always ensure there are vegetarian options available.
If you have specific dietary restrictions, be sure to communicate with
your host at least 1.5 weeks in advance.
HOW DO YOU KEEP CONFIDENTIALITY?
*
We include a vow of confidentiality in our invitation, and reiterate
the importance of confidentiality at the start of each dinner. We
create a strong container of trust and integrity and expect the same
of all of our participants.
WHAT MAKES DC DIFFERENT FROM WOMEN’S CIRCLES?
*
Our secret is our hosts and the stories we tell! Our dinners are led
by professional moderators, researchers and facilitators all around
the world. Brilliant women with years of experience conducting
challenging conversations amongst diverse groups of people.
We’re less about the woo-woo, and more about the raw, real and
impactful conversations with tangible insights for our guests and
community to take action and implement within their daily lives.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHEN YOU SAY “WOMEN”?
*
Anyone that is female-identifying. Inclusivity is one of our core
values! We welcome women of all ages, colors, religions and
backgrounds. If you are male-identifying and would love to attend a
dinner, let’s talk.
WHAT’S YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?
*
We put a lot of love and effort into these dinners so please do your
best to avoid a last minute cancellation. If you need to cancel, try
to find a replacement. All cancellations made less than one week in
advance can’t be refunded.
WHAT ARE MY PARKING OPTIONS?
There is free parking on the street in front of the house.
