Bridging the Gap: Healing the Divide Between Men & Women (A space for men and women to be heard.)
Something is off between men and women right now — and most of us feel it.
In our relationships, our friendships, our feeds. There's a tension that doesn't have an easy name, but it's there. And too often, instead of talking about it, we talk past each other.
This is an invitation to do something different.
Bridging the Gap is an intentionally intimate evening designed to build real empathy and understanding between us. Not a debate. Not a lecture. A guided conversation where everyone gets to be honest, everyone gets to be heard, and meaningful connections are made.
Here's how the evening flows:
We open together, then split into separate spaces where each gender can speak freely and go deeper with guiding questions. Then we come back together — to witness each other, share what came up, and close with open dialogue and a genuine path forward.
No performative answers. No winning. Just people showing up for an honest conversation that's long overdue — and leaving with a deeper understanding of the human experience on the other side.
What to expect: Facilitated group conversation, gender circle breakouts, structured sharing, and open dialogue to close.
Space is limited to 20 people — 10 men, 10 women. When one side fills, it's closed. (This event is open to all. If you don't identify within the gender binary, choose whichever circle feels most aligned for you — you are welcome here.)
Tuesday, June 9th at Fabrik, Tribeca.
Come ready to listen as much as you speak.
👉 The space will open at 6pm and we'll begin around 6:30pm. We recommend arriving early so you can settle in. We'll have a few light snacks and drinks to offer. Please feel free to bring additional food or drink and anything else you'll need to be comfortable for the evening.
Please email [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns.
