The purpose of these gatherings

 

The purpose of this kind of social event is that all who come along participate in conversations which are friendly, fun and totally non threatening.

Everyone engages in good talk, mainly in pairs over a meal and also with others before and after the mealtime.

You don’t need to know anyone present. If you come along the host and those already there will help you feel welcome and included.

Nothing is expected of you other than to be present and to enjoy yourself. Likely you will feel that everybody in the room are people you would like to meet and talk to.

This is not networking in the usual sense as it is not to conduct business. You may not ever see your dinner partner or the others again. If you do you will have delightful memories to share. Part of the pleasure is to meet with people from different backgrounds, ages,  nationalities, first languages to talk about things which may be very different from your everyday life.

What could it lead to? At least, an enjoyable and interesting encounter. Plus hearing of lived experiences which you could not have imagined. And very likely having new insights into your own life.

Sound like just what you’re looking for?
