About

DWELL DINNER

An ever changing, long table gathering of bringing people together.

DWELL DINNERS are long-table dinner gatherings within a dwelling, any place where one lives or stays for an amount of time.  It is a time to come together and share life… to know each other, have fun, belong, to be alive, to discuss, be heard, and to listen, to find common interests, to be among others, and to have community. It’s essential, we all need other humans.  Each gathering will also have a one-word theme.

 

It is founded upon the idea that what we often lack in ourselves, we find in others, and through their own sharing of their lives. -Woven Magazine 

 

We have compiled ideas, recipes, formats to converse, and quotes that resonate to create these long-table experiences. We need others to show us what we don’t know. It’s as simple as that. The medium to get there is simple. It’s good food, quality time, a small gift, and a unique experience.

Step out of the crowd and into community. Together we’ll explore our own questions, passions, and purpose to get inspired and grow as better humans. A place where all who desire to come are welcome.

She has a vision of connecting people through long table dinner gatherings and meaningful conversation that achieves a relational connectivity that is both purposeful and deeply satisfying. Having worked in three distinct areas in the professional, creative, a food industries she sees how everything is infinitely connected. For the past four years Dwell Dinner & Co. has fuzed those elements together to create an experience that is tailored to a specific group of people at hand, where everyone gets to know others and be known.

She is always seeking to learn more, make new friends, push back on the cultural norm of society’s pressures, and innovate with the most basic of mediums- food, a table, and humans.

She is passionate about cooking, especially plant based meals and organically sourced ingredients. Meals at each Dwell Dinner are prepared by local chefs.
