What does it take to have extraordinary conversations?

Have you ever had a conversation with a stranger that you’ll never forget? A conversation where you felt a deep connection in a short time? A conversation that made you look at the world in a different way? A conversation in which you not only met another person, but also discovered something new about yourself?

We often think these moments are rare, a matter of coincidence or luck. Our premise is that under the right circumstances, these conversations are far less accidental than we assume. All it takes is people we don’t yet know, a relaxed atmosphere and good questions.

This Holiday Special begins with a warm Christmas-style breakfast from there, we move into guided connection using The Conversation Menu to open playful, curious exchanges and afterwards The Therapy Game, which brings more depth and reflection. Throughout the afternoon, you will rotate through multiple 10-minute conversations with a variety of people regardless of age, background, relationship status or gender, anyone can take part. The facilitator offers surprising prompts that help you move beyond small talk and into real human contact. You may learn something meaningful about others and very likely about yourself too.

Note: this is an open space for people to meet strangers; it is not a dating event.

Games

The Therapy Game
The Therapy Game offers us a rare opportunity to listen and speak to one another at truly fulfilling length and depth.

Questions cover topics such as:

  • Who do you need to impress?
  • Around what features of your character does your self-hatred focus?
  • If you were a friend of yours, what would you tell yourself about the challenges you face?
  • What did you learn about relationships from your parents?

Conversation Menus Card Set

20 menus with 12 questions per menu, across varying themes – to foster friendship and bring meals to life

We typically spend a lot of time getting the food right when we invite others over for a meal, but in the end what makes a really great occasion is – of course – always the conversation around the table.
