“All great change in America begins at the dinner table.”

RONALD REAGAN, FAREWELL ADDRESS (1989)

Our Approach

Modeled after the historic Jeffersonian dinners (created by Thomas Jefferson), we’ve created a simple way for you to convene a group of a group of 8-12 participants for an intentional night of conversation around a specific topic.

You bring together the group and plan the meal. We’ll help you guide the conversation.

RULE 1

Focused
Topic

Dinner conversations are focused on one topic or question driven by a 9-minute THINQ Talk watched together or beforehand.

RULE 2

Single Conversation

No side chats, one single conversation where everyone is given the opportunity to express their thoughts.

RULE 3

Respectful Dialogue

When hearing different opinions, seek to understand and disagree with respect, without being a disagreeable person.
