dear me, back to the city
We missed you, but most importantly, the city missed your energy while you were enjoying your summer in other cities, mostly European ones.
Under dear me collective, I'm kicking off the first gathering of fall 2026!
It's a fun gathering to hear each other's summer highlights, and I've prepared a surprise activity to kick off the last quarter of the year.
We'll have small bites and soft drinks, and you're welcome to bring your own bottle. We're a shoes-off household.
If you know a friend who would bring joy to the night, feel free to share the invitation with them.
Can't make it on October 9? See our upcoming gatherings and ask for a seat at the next one.
What is dear me collective?
dear me collective is for people who want to hear themselves. We exist to give New Yorkers a living room to come back to, in a city that never stops asking them to perform.
