Learn about our services

  • Hands-on, heart-first.

    We design immersive team-building workshops where cooking becomes a way to connect, reflect, and collaborate, without slides, icebreakers, or small talk that goes nowhere.

    Techniques :

    Each experience is intentionally designed using principles of adult learning and behavioral change, and brought to life through facilitation tools and techniques such as:

    • Storytelling,

    • LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®,

    • Liberating Structures, visual thinking

    • Creative reflection cards

    • Design thinking activities

    All chosen to make connection feel natural and lasting.



  • Part storytelling, part gathering, all connection.

    Our conceptual dinners are carefully designed evenings built around a story, a question, or a theme. Each one invites guests to slow down, cook, eat, and reflect together, turning a shared meal into a collective experience of curiosity, conversation, and belonging.

    Techniques:
    We start by understanding the cuisine and its cultural roots, map it to our own skill set, explore fusion ingredients, and source everything together. Every dish, like every activity, is developed from scratch, co-created with you and your team to reflect your story, your values, and your flavor.

  • We build community by building together.

How it works

  • 1. Begin Together

    We start by grounding the group — setting intentions, opening space for curiosity, and introducing the theme that connects us.

  • 2. Create & Explore

    Through guided activities and reflection, we uncover personal and collective “layers” using creative tools, conversation, and gentle facilitation.

  • 3. Connect & Reflect

    We share insights, stories, and discoveries in dialogue — finding meaning in the networks and experiences that shape who we are.

  • 4. Close & Nourish

    Every session ends with a shared meal or closing conversation — a time to integrate what’s emerged and leave feeling grounded, seen, and inspired.

What guests say

  • Every time I join, I leave lighter and more grounded, like I’ve been reminded what community actually feels like.

    Thuan

  • There’s something magical about how they blend food, reflection, and connection. One minute you’re chopping vegetables, the next you’re talking about what really matters.

    Ragu

  • You don’t feel like a guest , you feel like you belong.

    Claudia

  • Every detail felt intentional, from the flow of the activities to the atmosphere and food. Daniela and Mădălina combine creativity with real professionalism
