Taste of Dinner With Strangers: End of Year Celebration
Not your average holiday gathering! Show up as strangers, mingle in the Dinner With Strangers way (asking questions that get to the good stuff), leave more connected, with a full heart (and full a stomach!)
Whether you’ve attended a Dinner With Strangers before or you’re curious about what it’s all about, this is the perfect event for previous guests or not-yet-attended friends to gather together, meet more people, and connect over great food and intentional conversation.
Rather than a sit-down dinner, we’ll be mingling for the night, with a bit of instruction and direction from Jess (think: getting into small groups, introducing yourself, and sharing stories with the help of some festive prompts).
Jess will also share a bit about what this year has meant to her, the importance of connection (with strangers or with loved ones), and how we can all go into the holiday season equipped with ways to connect in a more intentional way.
