Monthly Dinner & Inquiry Gathering
Once a month I host a small dinner gathering at my home in Murrieta for people who enjoy thoughtful exploration of the deeper mechanics of human experience.
These evenings are centered around a specific theme or question related to consciousness, perception, relationships, and the patterns that shape how we experience life. Each gathering begins with a short introduction to the topic, followed by open conversation and exploration around the table.
The intention is not to lecture or to promote a belief system. Instead, the evenings are designed as a space for sincere inquiry and meaningful dialogue. We discuss why we think the way we do, why certain emotional patterns repeat themselves, and how shifts in perception can dramatically change how we experience our lives. These gatherings create a space where those questions can be explored together in an honest and grounded way.
Topics may vary from month to month and might include themes such as:
• why people repeat the same patterns in relationships
• how identity shapes the way we perceive reality
• projection and misunderstanding in human relationships
• the difference between insight and actual change
• how the mind constructs emotional experience
Each evening begins with a shared meal and informal conversation. After everyone has settled in, I introduce the theme for the evening and guide the discussion in a way that allows the group to explore the topic together.
These gatherings are facilitated by Shamananda Lee, a spiritual counselor, author and teacher who works with individuals to understand the patterns that shape their thinking, relationships, and emotional lives. Her work focuses on helping people see more clearly how the mind creates the realities we live within, and how clarity can bring meaningful shifts in perception and behavior.
While the themes can be deep, the evenings themselves are relaxed, friendly, and conversational. People attend from a wide variety of backgrounds and perspectives. The only shared quality is a genuine curiosity about understanding ourselves and the human experience more clearly.
Because the gathering takes place in a private home, attendance is intentionally limited in order to keep the atmosphere comfortable and intimate. This allows everyone to participate in the conversation if they wish, while also maintaining the feeling of a thoughtful dinner among peers.
Details about the evening’s theme and any food arrangements such as pot luck will be shared before each event.
If you enjoy meaningful conversation, exploring how the mind works, and meeting thoughtful people in a welcoming environment, you are warmly invited to join us.
