INTENTIONAL GATHERINGS

Aether Table

Intimate event series in Lisbon bringing women together through food, design & conversation.

Throughout the past two years, Lisbon has proven to be a place full of people who embrace creating their own communities. It is a very welcoming and multifaceted city, becoming home to many diverse souls and cultures.

Bringing people together - whether for an aperitif in a favourite bar, dinner, a house party, or a picnic in the park - has always been, is, and will continue to be very important to me. I enjoyed bringing people together in Regensburg, London, and now, for the first time, I am surrounded by so many interesting people who invite me to join their community. I love it!

“What kind of community do you like to have at this stage of your life? And what do you do to create that community?”

These were some of the topics we discussed at a special dinner gathering organised by Aether Table, which is led by Barbara and Emily.

This intentional gathering took place in one of the most magical apartments I have seen here so far. One answer that every single woman in this room gave and approved of was wanting a community full of people who are present. That resonated a lot with me.

I met inspiring, entrepreneurial, and grounded women that night. I especially want to keep creating my own magical moments with my creative and philosophical community. I want to prioritise human connection in 2026, not just to to-do lists and financial goals.

This year was magic pure. Of course, it had its challenges, but I feel I have truly LIVED this year. And that was my hope and goal.

Now I am going to enjoy the last few days of December with some of my beloved souls here in Lisboa, and I am looking forward to all the intentional gatherings we will have in the coming months.
