DreamWeek 2026 Generations Over Dinner

Generations Over Dinner transforms the simple act of sharing a meal into a catalyst for profound social change. This innovative initiative brings together people across age groups – from teenagers (12+) to centenarians – around carefully curated dinner conversations that bridge generational divides and combat the epidemic of social isolation devastating our communities.

These dinners create opportunities to challenge age-related stereotypes and cultivate mutual respect. At this event, participants engage in guided dialogues about life experiences, values, dreams, and challenges. Through the universal language of storytelling over food, strangers become neighbors, assumptions transform into understanding, and individuals discover vibrant community connections that extend far beyond the dinner table.

• Seating is limited to a first come basis for each age group/generation.
• We encourage family pairs to sign-up.
  (ex: grandmother + grandchild OR father + son).
• Only 32 seats available total.
• Once a generation is full, we will start a WAITLIST.
• There will be more Generations dinners later in 2026.
• After registering, we will email you with CONFIRMATION of your seat at the table.

Testimonial

“I had such a lovely time sitting at a dinner table with guests of various ages from Gen Z

to Baby Boomers. Together we learned that we had a lot more in common than any of us

expected to. As we ate, we shared stories and memories of our lives. We shared laughs and

tears in a space that felt safe and warm.” —Janice, age 24, Gen Z
