Women Over Dinner Harlem : January 9th

We want to live in a world where the Inherent Power of Woman is remembered and expressed. The expressions will of course be as diverse as we are. Women Over Dinner is an invitation to gather and ask ourselves questions like: What does it mean, in present time, to be a woman? What if girls were taught from an early age, whether or not they ever choose to have a child, that they are born into nobility, a lineage that has the power to carry life and birth humans — the lineage of Woman? Then, might we ask, is equality even our goal, or is it something else? Something deeper, something more than a reaction to what has been, but a creation of what is true?

Women Over Dinner offers an insightful, just-edgy-enough guide to topics ripe for exploration: power, sexuality, and how both affect everything we see and experience in the world. The dinner table, in its sacred simplicity, holds us. We invite you to gather friends, family, community, around a meal and have a personal and intimate conversation. Not the kind of conversation that goes sideways when cookie cutter political opinions tempt us towards divisiveness. Instead, a place to just share what you think, have experienced, and maybe most importantly, what you feel, as you break bread and listen. We have no doubt that what ripples out of these conversations can change the world.

Due to the intimate nature of the topics we explore, this event is for adults. You must be 18+. We check ID’s at the door and require each guest sign a waiver prior to entering the event. This is a substance-free and alcohol-free event.
We have been working for about a year now to get a Women Over Dinner into a women’s Pr*son and we have finally been invited to do so. We are thrilled to give women in Pr*son access to this experience. It is so vital for ALL women everywhere to get to touch back into the place that these events create space for. That interior space of remembering who you are, what being a woman really means, and that shared space of rich, abundant sisterhood and connection with other women. This remembrance is especially crucial for our sisters who are incarcerated because incarceration here in the U.S. is such a deeply dehumanizing experience.
We want to invite the whole community of women here in Harlem (and throughout New York City) to contribute, to bring contributors, and to spread the word far and wide. Your contribution can also simply be your presence on November 21st; we will never turn anyone away for lack of funds!
Usual suggested donation is $25 per person. This covers the cost of one meal. Please donate the amount that you are able. The most important thing to us is that you are there.
