Dinner with Strangers
Dinner with Strangers: Rewiring Minds Over a Meal
Break old thinking patterns, challenge unconscious bias, and expand your perspective—all through the power of proximity. Neuroscience tells us that exposure to diverse experiences and viewpoints is one of the most effective ways to disrupt habitual thinking and rewire the brain for greater empathy, adaptability, and creativity. Dinner with Strangers offers an exclusive, unpretentious dining experience designed to do just that.
Operating on an invite-only basis, these carefully curated dinners bring together fascinating individuals from vastly different backgrounds—leaders, creatives, academics, activists, innovators, and those with lived experiences that may challenge your worldview.
Past guests have included:
🔹 University Professors & Vice-Chancellors
🔹 Imams, Buddhist Monks & Military Personnel
🔹 CEOs & Social Change Activists
🔹 Rappers & TV Presenters
🔹 Explorers & Individuals Experiencing Homelessness
Set in a homely and relaxed atmosphere, these evenings are designed to create psychological safety, allowing open, curious conversations that forge deep understanding. Our talented chef ensures a shared dining experience that encourages connection, while your host—a skilled inclusion expert—guides the evening through subtle, neuroscience-backed techniques:
✅ Activating the vagus nerve – Helping to ease anxiety and shift into a receptive state.
✅ Guided engagement principles – Setting a respectful and open tone from the start.
✅ Question cards & reflective exercises – Encouraging meaningful dialogue and self-awareness.
✅ Pre-event matching & coaching – Ensuring you dine with those who will challenge and inspire you.
These exclusive dinners typically host eight diverse guests, begin at 19:00, and last approximately three hours. Hosted near Bath, South West England, we can provide a list of local guesthouses if needed.
