  • Conscious Chemistry: A Dinner for Mindful Singles Who Crave Depth and Spark (CLOSED)

    Join us for an intimate evening of soulful connection, meaningful conversation, and embodied presence with others who are devoted to personal growth, emotional integrity, and creating conscious love.

    This dinner is for singles—all genders—who value depth and desire, who crave not just compatibility, but chemistry. It’s for those who have done the work, and are ready to meet others who have too—people who can be in their heart and in their body, who connect/lead with authenticity, confidence, and purpose.

  • Listening Beyond Words, Connecting Across What Divides Us (CLOSED)

    tIn a world of rising noise, fractured dialogue, and deep social divides, it is easy to speak — and harder to truly hear. This gathering is an invitation to pause, to soften, and to remember the quiet power of listening — not just with our ears, but with our full presence.

    We can explore what it means to listen beyond the surface — to hear the subtle, the unsaid, and the emotionally true — in ourselves and in one another. Together, we’ll hold space for the open-hearted conversation across our differences, for the kind of connection that doesn't require agreement, only mutual care and courageous curiosity.

  • Navigating the psychological and spiritual transition of the coming years (CLOSED)

    I believe there will be significant psychological and spiritual disruption in the coming years, as we all grow more dependent on AI (effectively an alien form of intelligence), as jobs transition towards being outsourced to AI and robots, and as these pressures clash with existing social, economic, and political tensions. I believe peace of mind and wisdom will be more important than ever through these transitions.

  • Novel Ways You Are Using AI (CLOSED)

    Everyone is using the LLMs for writing, but what about using AI for research? For product development? Gauging customer satisfaction? Bring any and all ways you are integrating AI into your life and your work to this timely roundtable.

  • Disrupt our Minds! (OPEN)

    The psychology of the dark times/metamorphosis we are entering into and how we can flourish by sticking together! Let's gather and plan our disruptive strategies for our brave new community!

  • AI and Psychedelics: Redefining Human Worth and Understanding Our True Nature (CLOSED)

    The rise of AI signifies a profound shift in the workforce, challenging our identity and relevance as humans. As we grapple with our declining status as the most intelligent species, a human identity crisis about our value, self-worth, and purpose is on the horizon. We need a new vision of our intrinsic, unlimited human potential. The psychedelic renaissance is offering powerful insights into new frontiers of our human experience. As we gain new insights about our true essence, our capacity for existential joy, our sense of awe, and the ability to access what is authentically true for each of us, we may be on the verge of revolutionizing our concepts of what it means to be human.

  • Purpose in Turbulent Times: What's our calling? (CLOSED)

    "A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for" (J.Shedd). Given the times we're facing, what ours to do? A conversation about personal and collective purpose.

  • Sacred Leadership in Changing Times (CLOSED)

    As the old paradigms crumble and a new world begins to take shape, we gather to explore what it means to be a sacred leader...one who moves from presence, purpose, and collective care. This dinner is for those who are not just dreaming of a better world but are actively building it...visionaries, movement-makers, and heart-centered change-makers who understand that leadership today must be rooted in humility, integrity, and community.

  • AI And Our Interpersonal Relationships (CLOSED)

    I want to explore the impact of AI tools in how we relate to ourselves and to each other and the larger community
