What to Expect

The Mindful Meal Experience is a 90-minute guided dining experience designed to help you slow down, connect, and fully enjoy both the meal and the people around the table.

This is not a lecture and not therapy. It’s a thoughtfully hosted shared dinner with simple prompts, a calming guided presence experience, and meaningful conversation woven naturally into the evening.

You’ll be seated at one long table with just 10 guests, creating a warm and personal atmosphere.

Many guests attend on their own. Others come with a partner or friend. Both feel natural here.


The Meal

Dinner is served family-style, encouraging connection and conversation as the table shares the experience together.

Your ticket includes:
• the full shared meal
• one glass of house wine or beer
• or soda, coffee, tea, espresso, or cappuccino

Additional beverages may be purchased separately if desired.

Because the meal is shared family-style, dietary substitutions are limited.


The Experience Flow

During the evening, you’ll experience:

• a candlelit opening moment to arrive and set a personal intention
• a relaxed shared meal paced intentionally
• gentle guided presence exercises through a discreet listening system
• optional conversation prompts that deepen connection naturally
• a meaningful closing moment before the evening ends

Participation is always welcome but never pressured.


Who This Experience Is For

This evening is ideal for:

• individuals coming on their own
• couples looking for a different kind of night out
• friends wanting something meaningful to do together
• anyone feeling ready to slow down and reconnect over a great meal
• those curious about mindfulness in a comfortable setting

No experience with meditation or hypnosis is needed.

About Your Host

The evening is guided by Amy Arvary, clinical hypnotherapist, who creates experiences designed to help people step out of the noise of daily life and reconnect with clarity, presence, and each other.

This is where the meal ends- but not the connection.
