WOMEN OVER DINNER

How Women Over Dinner Came To Be

These dinners originally started when our founder Nicole Daedone wrote a women’s manifesto and shared it with her close friend Angel Grant. Angel had started Death Over Dinner and had helped over 200,000 Death Over Dinners happen across the globe.

When Angel read the manifesto that started with this radical notion women have inestimable power, she was deeply moved and called Nicole to say, if you want to use the process of Death Over Dinner, I’ll give you the intellectual property rights to it to adapt for women. Of course, Nicole immediately said yes.

Nicole is Sicilian, so she understands, women and food and love and sex, they aren’t separate things, they’re all of a piece. And if we are going to build a real women’s movement that is based in fulfillment rather than rights, then it is going to be this movement of spontaneous connection and intimacy between women. So here we are.

Women Over Dinner is a continuation of these conversations where “the most important part” gets to come forward. It gets to be felt and known. We get to live from it, raise our children as it, transform imbalances and suffering through it. We get to remember together what is most vital: that we are the jewel; we are the thing that everyone is seeking.

You’re always invited to the table.

Our Dinners

“The experience was profoundly moving. Witnessing women be moved by one another's shares was incredibly powerful. Hearing our collective experiences and feelings was comforting and sweet. And arriving to an open, inviting, diverse environment of women felt exciting, invigorating, intriguing and safe.”

How Women Over Dinner Works


These dinners are a facilitated round table experience with a specific format designed to give space for each woman's unique brilliance to emerge and be seen. There is no discussion or cross talk during shares, making this a rare space for women to express without feedback and listen without pressure to respond.

Women Over Dinner is aimed at enlivening women to remember their inestimable power in order to reshape our world. We want to reach 100 million women. One dinner at a time, we share a meal and connect through answering a series of curated prompts about our impact, our power, our liberation. Women Over Dinner is an initiative of Unconditional Freedom, a 501c3.

What Women Say

  • There is so much to learn from other women. I feel strongly that the feminine will help balm and heal the challenges we are facing as humans in the world. And gathering, dreaming together and building new ways is the way forward.

    -Sarah M

  • Women Over Dinner gave me a chance to see how powerful we all are as women. And just reminder how powerful women are how we call in beautiful experiences that we desire. That's just so inspiring to witness each other that way.

    -Tasha

  • There was a moment when the woman across from me was sharing what her life would look like with the force of women at her back, and I felt this rush come over me, like “I wanna be that force for her” I want to help her have what she wants.

    -Rachel L

  • I had never heard my mother share the way she shared tonight, we would not have an opportunity to talk about the deeper parts of womanhood, I feel really grateful.

    -Stacey

  • I found myself sharing thoughts and memories that had been in the subconscious for a while. It was really neat to see the layers of intimacy and vulnerability unfold with each question. I left feeling empowered and connected, with myself, and with others.

    -Tara F

  • When I was a kid I was homeless and the only thing I could find to eat was donuts. That this movement is connected to a nonprofit that feeds the food challenged nourishing healthy meals, that is the world I want to be apart of.

    -Mary

  • I took two subways and a bus to get here, the dinner was so nice, I am a hospice nurse, I feel over worked and I was looking for ways to take care of myself, and I will definitely do Women Over Dinner again!

    -Kelly

  • There was a moment when one woman at my table was talking about, you know, taking up more space and in her body. And I just, it really brought me into this very tender spot with my body and my posture and taking up more space. And I felt really reminded so that it can be that subtle inside.
