Whether a European "Salon", or in an Indian "Adda", the tradition to come together and unpick the issues of the day is an old one. in our modern world, it's not done well enough. We're changing that.
​
Our group conversations open up the opportunity to deal with the messy together. By asking things that we may not in public, by sharing uncertainties and not fully understanding can we actually get to the heart of what we think, which will shape what we do and how we show up in the world.
​
Our "chai & chats" are with people who've wisdom to share, who are doing phenomenal work and are consciously creating ripples in the world. We're particularly interested in learning from people pushing different perspectives, regenerative practitioners and those in the majority world.

CHECK OUT OUR CONVERSATIONS.
Our group sessions ARE reserved for those who take part but you can check out the recordings with our conversation catalysts and also our 1:1 chai & chats below. We'd love to know what you think and if you feel like you've got a topic that's messy enough for us to gather for, get in touch!
THE GROUP ADDA WAY.

We're really protective of OUR spaces. THEY'RE SPECIAL. We'd love for you to come to one of our ADDAs, we really would but please understand the kind of space it is before you register. These work because they're opportunities for people to connect, we'd welcome the chance to connect with you;
-
unless necessary for health reasons, we ask YOU have videos on.
-
these areN't Q&As, they're conversations so the richness is dependent on you and how you SHOW UP - BE WILLING TO SHARE.
-
spaces are limited so this isn't a "I'll listen in whilst I drive", or a "i'll see how I feel on the day" gathering and then skip it. only come if you can be fully present.
-
if you can't make it for whatever reason, let us knoW so we can offer the space to someone else - these are deliberately free - be respectful.
​
We hold ourselves to the following principles FOR each gathering.
01
SMALL
so that we can share & learn intimately - this isn't a numbers game, it's about the depth of the experience.
02
CURIOUS
about the things we don't / won't talk about - no question is too big or small and no reflection is wrong or right.
03
04
OPEN
it only works if we're ready to show up - vulnerabilities, uncertainties and all.
INCLUSIVE
of perspectives, experiences, race, identities and lived realities - we're done with binary views & representations.
Ways to get involved.
an adda is only as good as the people who make it. we'd love for you to feel part of it, to contribute and shape the richness of each conversation.

be a conversation catalyst
We’re always looking for speakers/thinkers with interesting things to say & ideas they want to explore. Or maybe you don't really get what's going on on a particular topic and would like to understand it a bit better. whether you'd like to unpick a thought with a group of lovely people or just fancy a chat, let's do it.
​Contribute ideas
Let us know if you have ideas for events, speakers or collaborations or any other suggestions for how to build and improve the project.
