We are wired for contact, love, and connection. When we are connected, we are the happiest. And whatever conditions interfere with that create disfunction. It’s just that simple. The great philosopher Aristotle wrote, “Man is by nature a social animal.”
Why then are we seeing an epidemic of loneliness, with 50 percent of people in the United States saying they feel acutely lonely? At the same time, the rate of depression is also the highest it’s ever been.
Understanding the underpinnings of social connections may be more important than ever, especially when we live in a society that promotes values that conflict with our natural condition.
Join us as we take the first step from Me to We.

Open Diner is a common virtual space where people like you and I, from all around the globe, can come together for a hosted meal with music, toasts, discussion, and more, while staying safely at home.
Let’s be honest! We are social creatures, and we crave connection.
The number one killer is not Corona, but loneliness! And what better time than now to step back from our daily routine and reflect on life and our future together?
That’s what this project is about. We feel that by sharing ideas around our virtual table, devoid of judgment or criticism, we can come to a vision of a brighter future. And by sharing joy and connection, we can come out of this pandemic quicker, into a new, better world!
So grab a plate, pour your drink of choice, and join us for a meal and a chat. We are all in this together!
It’s a FREE event for everyone, and it will be streamed live on the Open Diner Facebook page!
