We’re setting the table for something different. My friend Avital and I have been craving real connection, and we’re hearing from our friends, family and colleagues that they are too. The kind that doesn’t live on screens, doesn’t need small talk, and doesn’t ask you to wear a mask. 💫 That’s why we’re inviting people everywhere to host a dinner that nourishes the body, mind, and soul. To laugh, learn, and lean into the kind of conversations that remind us that we’re all works in progress and we’re not alone. 💞 Introducing The Table Turners! Register as a HOST to join a global network of intimate dinners happening on Sunday March 8, 2026 (International Women’s Day), where curious and courageous women (and allies) gather around real tables to explore what it means to lead, love, and live fully. You don’t need to be a facilitator, just a great human who loves bringing people together. We’ll provide a Host Kit with conversation themes, rituals, and playlists, and you bring the magic. Whether your table seats six in a city flat, twelve in a farmhouse kitchen, or ten at a rooftop restaurant under the stars, your table could be one of hundreds turning the tide toward deeper connection. 🌏 Interested in hosting a Table Turners dinner? 💫 Complete this form to join the first wave of hosts across Prague, Amsterdam, New York London, Frankfurt and beyond. We'll be in touch in January for an information session! Let’s rewrite what’s on the menu of leadership one dinner, one story, one laugh at a time.

Neoliberal capitalism might be nearing its end. A new kind of economy is being built. Its happening in real time. Zohran Mamdani caught the headlines, but something just as radical is quietly bubbling away in Europe. Crazily, its coming from the very places that birthed Colonialism and Empire, the very extractive systems that continue to underpin modern day capitalism. The number of organisations working to build a new, holistic economic system is accelerating in Europe, with almost half of them founded in the last decade (link to the full story in comments, below). As the map below shows, there is a growing West-East divide on where those organisations come from. The UK, Germany, France, Spain and Belgium have the highest number of organisations dedicated to building a new type of economy, spawning new ideas such as housing collectives and community energy projects. That number begins to plummet the further east you go, with ingrained cultural resistance playing its part. Still, we all feel the exploitative roots of neoliberal capitalism. Minorities have long known this more than anyone - from the indigenous Sami people, under threat from the extraction of their ancestral lands because of 'self sufficiency' directives from the European Union, to British Bangladeshis like my own family working low-pay, dangerously frontline gig economy jobs during the Covid pandemic. If you're interested in learning what a new type of economy might look like, come and join my online conversation with Jo Swinson at Partners for a New Economy and Chris Monaghan of Metabolic next week with Alliance magazine, on Thursday 20th November (registration and time details here): https://lnkd.in/eienFCjm Thank you Shafi Mussadique for this!

Yesterday one of my Spanish connections told me about Hope - The Series https://hopetheseries.vhx.tv/, by Javier Pena Has any one here seen it? To me it sounds like it's more inclusive (17 countries covered) and focuses more on hope and positive stories. Specifically the last episode that says: This chapter highlights the critical role of indigenous communities and the urgent need to eradicate gender inequality to regenerate the planet and address the climate crisis. Would love to hear if anyone has seen it and what they thought
