Dinners with a Difference

Event

After four years of sold-out dinners in Wollongong, Dinners with a Difference is coming to Canberra for the very first time.

Dinners with a Difference is a facilitated discussion over a meal that dips beneath the surface of everyday conversations. Come solo, or bring a friend you'd like to get to know better.

To launch the first Canberra season, they delve into what it means to live a good life. What is considered a good life is deeply personal, yet universally sought. It's the satisfaction of looking back on milestones that mark not just what's been done, but who you've become and what you'll leave behind.

It's easy to be swept along by the currents of doing: achieving, possessing, presenting. And in times as uncertain as these, there's rarely been a better moment to pause and take stock of what truly matters, what brings us joy, and where we find meaning.

This evening is a chance to sit with those bigger questions alongside people equally keen to unpack them. What does it mean to live with authenticity and meaning? How do their core values show up in the roles they assume and the decisions they make every day?

Join them for an evening where they share insights, challenge their perspectives, and shape their understanding of a life well-lived.
