About this event

Health • Personal health

Becoming a member of The School of Life isn’t simply about gaining access to ideas; it’s about joining a community. To mark this beginning, we warmly invite our newest members to an intimate dinner hosted by our founder, Alain de Botton. This is a unique opportunity to gather around a table not for ordinary chat, but for the kind of rich, thoughtful exchange that leaves us feeling connected, seen and inspired.

This evening is designed to introduce you not just to The School of Life, but to the people who bring it to life, a group of fellow members who are curious, emotionally intelligent and sincerely interested in others. Together, we’ll share stories, perspectives and reflections on what it means to live wisely and well, with the humour and honesty that underpin all of our best conversations.

This dinner marks the beginning of your journey with us - we very much look forward to welcoming you.

Please note: this is an exclusive access event for The School of Life Members. The ticket costs £85, excluding ticket fees and VAT. This event has 28 spaces available.
