Sometimes the best things happen when someone else handles the details and you just show up. These aren't workshops or classes. They're the kind of nights and weekends you remember years later.
Creating memorable experiences for groups - from intimate dinners to large-scale events - is what I do professionally. These smaller gatherings let me apply that same attention to flow, timing, and detail at a more personal scale.
The thing about having good connections is knowing when to use them. These experiences combine my access to interesting events with curated groups who appreciate quality over quantity.
