About this event

Between Us offers a warm, brave and judgement-free space for people to come together and talk with vulnerability and honesty about our most personal topics and emotions.

Each month we investigate a different social topic globally such as failure, sexuality, courage, etc. through intimate dinners (6-8 people max) and then share the learnings with our community.

You can read our stories via Medium or our website.

👉 JANUARY TOPIC: VULNERABILITY

Friday, January 21st
19:00 - 22:00
Location: Kungsholmen (details to be provided prior to the event) 

We know that “vulnerability” is required to take courageous action and to build deep connection with others.
Yet, being genuinely vulnerable is hard for many of us. We don’t want to come across as weak or “broken.” So instead, we play it “safe,” we shy away from important, and often uncomfortable, conversions. We follow the status quo.

Brené Browns defines vulnerability as “uncertainty, risk and emotional exposure.” Let’s have a courageous conversation about what prevents us from being vulnerable? And what could happen in our lives and in our world if we embraced more vulnerability.

In February, there will be no dinner in Stockholm.

👉 MARCH TOPIC: MONEY

Date & Time: TBD

It's taboo. It's messy. It's complciated. Oftentimes rife with fear, guilt, avoidance, or resentment, money can become inextricably linked with our self-worth, making many of us feel we never have (or are) "enough." While some of us trust that our financial needs will be cared for, others may have an existential fear that there simply isn't enough, and we'll always be lacking. Where do we learn these money mindsets from, and how can they evolve?

Let's talk about money - what we love, what we fear, and what it takes to relate to money from a healthy and empowered place.

FAQs

Do attendees know each other?
Sometimes. But usually they don’t and that’s part of the magic. Coming into a place full of strangers to open up and share some of your most personal experiences is very powerful. No one there knows your history, you are a blank canvas. People won’t judge you or give you advice (unless you specifically ask for it). We are there to listen, share and connect.

Do I need to prepare?
A little bit! Your hosts will send all the details of the night via email, including a few questions for you to reflect upon prior the dinner. All dinners start with an intimate set of introductions, where each guest share her stories and is deeply heard.

How much are the dinners and what’s included?
Virtual dinners are free. In-person dinners charge a nominal fee to cover the cost of the food and any material. In Stockholm, dinners cost 100SEK and include a nourishing vegan meal. We invite our guests to bring one thing to drink (wine, flavoured water, etc.). Note that we are NOT making any profit from these evenings and the fee only covers the cost. However, if 100 SEK is more than you can contribute at the moment please contact me and we'll work it out :)

Do the meals follow certain dietary guidelines?

In Stockholm, the meal is 100% plant based. If you have specific dietary restrictions, be sure to communicate with your host at least 1.5 weeks in advance.

What about COVID-19 regulations for in-person dinners?

I would love for everyone to feel welcome and safe (or as safe as possible). Below are our COVID Agreements so we are all on the same page and everyone can assess risk. I trust that all attendees have a) Been vaccinated OR b) have had Covid and still have antibodies OR c) trust that they are healthy and have not been in touch with anyone who's been tested positive for Covid in the last 7 days. 

Due to the current unpredictability the event might be turned into a digital experience (with a shorter time frame) and you will be refunded.

How do you keep confidentiality?
We include a vow of confidentiality in our invitation, and reiterate the importance of confidentiality at the start of each dinner. We create a strong container of trust and integrity, and expect the same of all of our participants.

What makes it so special?
Our secret is our hosts and the stories we tell! Our dinners are led by professional moderators, researchers and facilitators all around the world. Brilliant women with years of experience conducting challenging conversations amongst diverse groups of people. We’re less about the woo-woo, and more about the raw, real and impactful conversations with tangible insights for our guests and community to take action and implement within their daily lives.

What’s the cancelation policy?
We put a lot of love and effort into these dinners so please, even if the dinners are virtual, do your best to avoid a last minute cancellation. If you need to cancel, try to find a replacement.
