The More In Common Dinner Club
Bridging the Divide One Meal at a Time

The More In Common Dinner Club is a national organization that during a time of unprecedented division provides a place for people to meet over a good meal and practice the simple art of human communication and connection. They provide a space to build authentic community, enjoy interesting and invigorating conversation, and a respite from the polarized issues on which most people have fixed beliefs.

They are my version of Jeffersonian dinners, and an expansion of the dinners I hosted during my travels in America, and then at my home near Aspen, Colorado during the pandemic. During those warm and intimate gatherings, I found people eager to understand one another and share their experiences and while observing where the conversations trended, I realized that most of us desire the same things: love, family, friendship, good work, security, safety, and community. But due to cultural and other changes, we now more often define those in very different ways.

When guests began thanking me for hosting the events and mentioning how rare it was becoming to meet that way, it confirmed my observation that in an increasingly technological world people are yearning for authentic connection.
