We are a community of curious minds that come from diverse backgrounds, but share a common love for Lisbon. As members, we are committed to searching for the next powerful question to unlock something new about ourselves and the world. Unlike other social clubs, we’re not just here for the small talk.
Every event is with the intention of creating meaningful connections to new people, ideas, and perspectives. We believe connection is at the heart of the city, and that the future depends on this collective support. Take your seat for a more vibrant and caring community.

Events
Experience the best of Lisbon through our private events and experiences
We believe in the magic that happens in a collective, so a few times a month we come together for a large gathering.
Because we know meaningful connection often happens around the table, every Tuesday we host small-group dinners in homes around the city with a variety of themes.
We gather some of the most inspiring thought leaders in Lisbon to share their work on issues that matter.
We take over some of Lisbon’s hottest brunch spots to enjoy weekends of connection, fun, and inspiration!
