Experience that stays long after the journey ends.

CHORA Socratic Supper Club

A monthly gathering for thoughtful conversations in the age of AI.

The CHORA Socratic Supper Club brings together 12–16 carefully selected participants around a single table for an evening of philosophy, conversation, and fine dining.

Each gathering is guided by an internationally respected philosopher or academic, with professional interpretation provided when required. Rather than lectures or debates, the evening is built around the Socratic method—asking better questions, challenging assumptions, and exploring timeless ideas in the context of today's rapidly changing world.

Every dinner focuses on one philosopher—or a small group of related thinkers—and explores how their ideas can help us navigate the opportunities and challenges of the AI era. Topics may include judgment, leadership, freedom, identity, virtue, creativity, technology, and the future of human flourishing.

To encourage openness and intellectual honesty, every gathering follows the Chatham House Rule: participants are free to use the ideas shared, but never reveal who expressed them.

Each evening concludes with one simple outcome: every participant leaves with greater clarity, deeper human connections, and one personal commitment to carry into daily life.

Held monthly in major cities, the CHORA Socratic Supper Club is more than a dinner. It is a space where timeless wisdom meets contemporary challenges, and where meaningful conversations become catalysts for personal transformation.

CHORA Urban Retreat

A 2–4 hour immersive experience for reflection, learning, and meaningful connection.

The CHORA Urban Retreat is a thoughtfully curated experience designed for people seeking a pause from the pace of modern life. Hosted in collaboration with art galleries, boutique hotels, private clubs, and cultural venues, each gathering offers a space to slow down, think deeply, and reconnect with what matters.

Every retreat combines guided reflection, short masterclasses, and hands-on experiences to engage both the mind and the senses. Topics are carefully selected to explore the qualities that remain uniquely human in an age of artificial intelligence.

Experiences may include:

  • Mindfulness and contemplative practices

  • Wine appreciation and the culture of hospitality

  • Western dining traditions, cuisine, and etiquette

  • Language, culture, and the stories behind places

  • Art appreciation and visual literacy

  • Reading and literary conversations

  • Humour, creativity, and the art of communication

  • The rise of AI and its impact on society, work, and leadership

  • Exploring human nature, character, purpose, and relationships

  • Guided workshops in traditional crafts, artisanal making, or culinary experiences

Each Urban Retreat is built around one central question rather than a fixed curriculum. Participants are invited not only to learn new ideas, but to cultivate better judgment, deeper awareness, and stronger human connections.

More than a workshop or cultural event, the CHORA Urban Retreat is a space where curiosity becomes insight, and everyday experiences become opportunities for personal transformation.

CHORA Intensive

A 1–2 day immersive programme designed to help high achievers perform at their best while staying grounded in purpose.

The CHORA Intensive brings together research, practical tools, and shared learning to help participants sharpen attention, improve decision-making, strengthen resilience, unlock creativity, and navigate the ethical challenges of the AI era.

Through immersive workshops, guided reflection, real-world simulations, and peer dialogue, participants recalibrate both mind and body, reconnect performance with purpose, and build habits that sustain long-term excellence.

Outcome: Sharper judgment, stronger resilience, greater clarity, deeper purpose, and lasting behavioural change supported by a trusted community.

Core themes include:

  • Attention and cognitive performance in a distracted world

  • Decision-making under uncertainty and complexity

  • Mental resilience and emotional regulation

  • Creativity, innovation, and adaptive thinking

  • Ethical judgment and responsible leadership in the age of AI

  • Purpose, meaning, and sustainable high performance

  • Building habits and systems that support long-term excellence

CHORA Liminal Experience Retreats

A 3–7 day immersive journey designed to create lasting moments of transformation.

The CHORA Liminal Experience Retreats invite participants to step beyond the routines of everyday life and into a space between the familiar and the unknown—where new perspectives, meaningful connections, and lasting personal insights can emerge.

Blending nature, guided reflection, wellbeing practices, community, and thoughtfully curated leisure experiences, each retreat is designed to create unforgettable psychological anchor points rather than simply memorable holidays.

Selected retreats may be developed in collaboration with leading hospitality, wellness, luxury, or cultural brands, while maintaining the highest standards of legal compliance, safety, risk management, and operational excellence.

Outcome: Renewed perspective, deeper relationships, greater self-awareness, and transformative experiences that continue long after the journey ends.
