For Organizations
Course & Discourse brings the same thoughtfully facilitated conversation, and the same beautifully cooked meal, to corporate retreats, institutional convenings, cultural partnerships, and beyond. If you’re looking for an event that your group will remember, let’s talk.
Team and Retreat Facilitation
We design and facilitate dinner conversations for companies, nonprofits, and government teams. Whether you’re running an annual retreat, an off-site for senior leadership, or a team-building day, we will bring a curated theme, a guided discussion, and a menu to match.
What’s included:
• Consultation to design a discussion theme tailored to your team’s goals and culture
• Facilitated conversation led by India, drawing on her background in negotiation and mediation
• A multi-course menu designed to complement the theme
• Pre-event “sparks” for participants (optional article, podcast, or activity to prime the conversation)
• Intimate, flexible format — can be held at our space or yours
Ideal for: leadership teams, cross-functional groups, organizations navigating change, teams building culture.
Guided Conversations
Hosting a policy roundtable, a stakeholder convening, or a speaker dinner? We’ll make it extraordinary.
We can partner with think tanks, advocacy organizations, academic institutions, and policy groups to design and facilitate intimate dinner conversations with guest experts and special invitees.
What we bring:
• A curated facilitation approach that balances structure with organic discovery
• Experience working across sectors
• A setting and format that invites candor and cross-pollination
• A memorable experience that keeps your guests talking long after the evening ends
Cultural Partnerships
We take Course & Discourse on the road.
Museums, embassies, theaters, vineyards, farmers markets, galleries — if you have an audience hungry for more than small talk and a space to gather them in, we’d love to bring Course & Discourse to you.

Example partnerships include:
• Museum opening nights and exhibition tie-ins
• Embassy cultural days and diplomatic receptions
• Theater post-show conversations
