Celebrating Oneliness and 2026 Reflection | Shared Table Dinner
Twenty-four dinners. Questions from love to death, friendship to AI, family to silence — and everything in between.
This is the last Shared Table Dinner of the year, and we're doing it differently. No fixed agenda, no facilitated structure. Just an open house, come when you can, stay as long as you like, linger into the evening.
There will be time for an end-of-year reflection — with yourself and with others. A chance to look back at what this year brought, what you’re ready to leave behind, and what you want to carry into 2027. And of course: cookies, possibly homemade. Popcorn. Our beloved milky Oolong. And yummy food as ever!
Bring your friends. Bring your neighbors. Bring the person who’s been meaning to come but hasn't found the right moment yet.
So looking forward to seeing and celebrating with you! 💛
With love,
Monika | The Oneliness Project
🍚 What to Expect & Bring
Shared Table Dinners are experience-first gatherings—intentionally designed and gently facilitated, without a fixed script.
We come together around a shared table to eat, listen, and explore questions that matter. The evening invites presence, contribution, and meaningful connection while leaving space for what wants to emerge.
Please bring a vegetarian (or vegan) dish to share — homemade or store-bought, both are welcome. Think: a salad, spread, soup, raw veggies for a platter, a leftover you love, or something sweet! 🍫
This is a vegetarian, alcohol-free dinner. We’ll have delicious Oolong tea and water to enjoy. 🍵
💛 Contribution & Accessibility
Shared Table Dinners are carefully designed, facilitated experiences—hours of prep, cooking, conversation, and care go into making each gathering special.

About the Host(s) 🤸♀️ & Space
Hii! I’m Monika Jiang, a writer, curator, and community builder, and the founder of The Oneliness Project.
I started Shared Table Dinners as part of my exploration into loneliness and oneliness as personal, social, and cultural experiences, and how we can practice reconnection with ourselves, others, and the world. I’ve held spaces across global conferences and festivals, organizations and teams, as well as in intimate, small-group settings.
My gatherings are known for weaving together play, joy, embodiment, and depth of inquiry, using movement, reflection, and thoughtful questions. Take a leap of faith and join to feel for yourself!
C*Space is our main collaborator and community home of all Berlin Shared Table Dinners. As a purpose-driven creative hub housed in a former furniture factory in Berlin-Weißensee, C*Space cultivates curiosity, community, and regenerative ideas through co-working, cultural programs, and gatherings like this. 🟡
