Symposium Dinner I

​Join us for the first edition of our Symposium Dinner Series: an intimate, thoughtfully curated evening inspired by the spirit of the ancient Greek symposium. A night of communal dining, wine, music, and deep conversation.

In ancient Greece, symposiums were sacred gatherings, part dinner party, part philosophical salon. Guests would share a feast, sip wine, listen to music, and engage in meaningful dialogue on the deeper questions of life.

This gathering invites 20 guests from different walks of life to share not just a dinner table, but a moment in time.

​Our conversation themes for the night are:
The Art of Living — a guided reflection on what it means to live a meaningful, beautiful, and conscious life in the modern world.
The Nature & Purpose of Love — inspired by Plato’s Symposium, an invitation to explore how we understand, experience, and express love in all its forms.

Throughout the night, there will be curated conversation prompts exploring different areas of life, inviting each guest to share their perspective in a meaningful way.

​What’s Included

• ​A live harp performance by Naomi Jackson to open the evening
