In the course of 10 years, more than one million people have participated in Michael Hebb”™s dinner parties, which offer not just food but food for thought. This Sunday, Jan. 29, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Trinity Spiritual Center in Southport, he presents a meal that capitalizes on the nationwide “Generations Over Dinner” movement. “Love Actually Is All Around Us” will consider love”™s transformative power in a family-style dinner setting.
“Gen Z, Millennials, Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation can all benefit from a better understanding of each other”™s lessons of love,” said Mark Grayson, director of Trinity Spiritual Center. “Don”™t know what a ”˜situationship”™ is, or what ”˜this magic moment”™ means? This is your chance to bridge the gap.”
Hebb, whose writings have appeared in”¯USA Today,”¯GQ,”¯Food and Wine and numerous other publications, is the founder of”¯Deathoverdinner.org,”¯Drugsoverdinner.org”¯and EOL.community. The man whom The New York Times called “an underground restaurateur and provocateur” is also the founding partner of Convivium, a creative agency that specializes in shifting culture through the use of thoughtful food and discourse-based gatherings. Convivium’s client list includes The Obama Foundation, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, TEDMED, The World Economic Forum, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Clinton Global Initiative, X Prize Foundation and The Nature Conservancy.
“We’re thrilled to help create a national movement that encourages shared wisdom,””¯he said. “There is no question that cross-generational connection and collaboration can genuinely change the world. We hope that ”˜Generations Over Dinner”™ drives meaningful conversations that deepen understanding across generations, underscoring the value of the life experience that is ours to share at every age.”
