Modern Love: And What Loneliness Got to Do With It
Shared Table Dinners: where we meet around food and questions. Everyone brings something to the potluck: a dish, a thought, a feeling, a view—and that’s already plenty.
🍽️ Thursday, July 10 — Modern Love: And What Loneliness Got to Do With It
Dating apps have made it easier than ever to meet and harder than ever to feel met. We scroll, unmatch, ghost, try again. Even in relationships, even in marriage, loneliness often lingers beneath the surface.
And more often than not, we stay in a relationship out of the fear of being alone.
This evening is for reflecting on the strange dance between love and loneliness. How have our ideas of love, gender roles, partnership, and commitment changed? What are we really looking for, and what does it take to stay open in a time of deep mistrust, hyper-independence, and constant comparison?
🍎 How It Works
We ask that you bring something small and easy to share to keep it simple, tasty, and low-waste. You could bring a spread, a salad, raw veggies for a platter, a leftover that’s still delicious, or something sweet 🍫. Homemade or store-bought, all welcome.
This is an alcohol-free, vegetarian dinner — we’ll have tea and water to share.
Come alone, with your partner(s), with a friend, or bring someone you’ve just met and want to connect with more.
This event is donation-based 🌟 with a suggested contribution of 10 EUR (minimum 5 EUR).
You’re welcome to give more to support C*Space, which kindly opens its doors to us, and The Oneliness Project, a growing initiative to explore loneliness as a shared experience and reconnection as a practice.
