Dinner Confidential is a safe and inclusive space for womxn around the world to come together and listen to each other's stories with deep vulnerability and confidentiality. We believe that when people feel like they belong, they gain the courage to make a positive change in their lives and the world.

We are now in Tokyo!

Each month we come together for an intimate dinner and investigate a different social topic (i.e Failure, Love, Courage, etc). We come together for two hours, to listen to each other and talk about what is important to us. We are currently hosting the "dinners" on zoom, so we are ever-more accessible online!

We are based in over 22 cities across the world. Check our monthly findings and stories via via Medium https://medium.com/@dinnerconfidential or Website https://www.dinnerconfidential.org/

** September Dinner will be virtual (so you can be anywhere in the world!) **

SEPTEMBER: Thursday, 24th "PLEASURE" -

In the age of a global pandemic, social upheaval, and uncertainty in all of our lives, pleasure can feel like a distant concept. Yet our relationship to pleasure is more important than ever before. As Adrienne Maree Brown says, "Feeling good is not frivolous. It's freedom." Pleasure is enjoyment. Bliss. Peace. Eroticism. Yet when we feel fear, shame, anger, sadness, pleasure can feel out of reach - or maybe it feels downright wrong.

Join us for a raw and honest conversation about pleasure - What were we taught? Can we FEEL it or do we hold ourselves back? And what would it look like if we trusted our pleasure?

The September event will be held online, on Zoom. Let's grab some snacks/sweets/tea, and connect!

More about us and the format of our gatherings...

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 or our website. We never share personal stories, those are strictly confidential.

We are currently hosting dinners in over 28 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 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.
