gatherings

Our gatherings are intentional experiences that create the space to step out of your routine and focus on what matters most.

Each workshop is thoughtfully structured. We combine guided reflection, practical frameworks, and meaningful conversation to help you get perspective, make decisions, and move forward. You are not just gaining insight, you are doing the work.

People often arrive with a sense that something needs to shift. They leave with clarity, direction, and a set of next steps they can act on with confidence.

Join acclaimed sleep specialist Dr. Jade Wu, author of the widely praised book Hello Sleep, for an honest, practical, and surprisingly hopeful conversation about why so many capable people struggle with rest.

Twelve seats. The ocean just beyond the windows. A slower rhythm for a single day. Day by the Sea is an intimate retreat experience for people carrying big questions about work, relationships, transition, purpose, creativity, identity, or what comes next. You arrive with whatever feels unresolved, uncertain, exciting, or quietly tugging at you, and spend the day in thoughtful conversation, reflection, and connection alongside a small group of people doing the same. Hosted in beautiful coastal settings, these gatherings create space to think more clearly, listen more deeply, and discover that many of the questions we carry are not ours alone.

6:30 - 9:00 PM
Twelve seats. A beautiful meal shared slowly. Table for 12 is an intimate dinner series designed for meaningful conversation, unexpected connection, and the kinds of evenings that remind us we are not navigating life alone. Each gathering explores a different theme such as reinvention, belonging, courage, longing, or transition around one long table beneath candlelight and good wine. Thoughtfully hosted in the little-known cellar beneath Lupo Restaurant & Vinoteca, these evenings are created for people craving depth, warmth, laughter, reflection, and a slower way of gathering together.
