2023 Update: We're making some changes to our community offerings, so stay tuned on when we relaunch membership options again soon! For now, we’ve decided to leave this page up so you see what Founding Members helped us create and foster.
We’re a membership community of open-minded people motivated to connect with each other on a deeper level through intentional conversations and social experiences.
Join and improve your social wellbeing by getting consistent access to curated events, community, and resources proven to help you spark deeper relationships with yourself, other people, and the world.
A welcome message from Alex
I began Connection Feast in 2018 in an effort to cure my own loneliness. What started as themed dinner parties with random strangers grew into multi-faceted in-person City Feasts. But then the pandemic hit, and these events screeched to a halt.
The pandemic highlighted the necessity to intentionally boost opportunities for deep human connection. (Seriously, it’s essential to our health.) So Virtual Feasts were born (very quickly) in March 2020. For many in our community, these online events provided much-needed togetherness in a time when we were physically apart.
Because of community members like you, we’ve grown close to 1,000 Feasters across the globe. It became clear that Connection Feast can and should become something more.
That’s why we’re thrilled to launch Founding Membership, a new, more robust way for you to engage with our community. Our goal is to help even more people like you experience deeper connections and improve your social well-being.
For the last year, we’ve been bootstrapping and using our own personal finances to grow this company and community. (😅) By becoming a Founding Member you will help us lay the groundwork to scale Connection Feast as a movement across the world. (Plus, you’ll get some pretty fun perks too…)
Will you join us as a Founding Member?
- Alex Friedman, Founder
P.S. As we put membership on hold to build out the next phase of Connection Feast, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank the many Founding Members who helped us launch our first membership community. It was because of you that we have been able to support over 1,400 people both in-person and virtually create more deep connection in their life. We are endlessly grateful for your contribution and look forward to connecting with you soon.
Any of these sound familiar?
● You’ve noticed that many of your relationships, connections, or friendships feel surface-level, and at this point in your life, you crave more.
● You’d like to make new friendships and connections, but you’re struggling to find open-minded people with similar interests to connect with consistently.
● You find it really difficult (if not altogether impossible) to feel truly seen, accepted or understood by the people you do know or meet.
● You’re a deep thinker, but you often feel like you could benefit by being more self reflective if you had the right tools and were with the right people.
● You put effort into building and deepening your friendships, but it feels one-sided and not reciprocal, and you’re over it.
● You often crave being part of a community of interesting people, but the older you get, the harder it seems to be to expand your circle of friends.
If you’ve nodded along to any one of these so far, then you’re in the right place.
How would your life be different if, instead, you…
Finally felt like you’ve found other open-minded people (who you engage with consistently) who like to delve deep on topics (even the taboo ones), and have meaningful conversations that matter.
Had less resistance in showing your true self to new people, and felt more confident, accepted, and seen.
No longer felt as self-conscious, hurt, or mad at those friendships that were one-sided because you’ve changed your outlook, and actually you don’t even really interact with those types of people anymore.
Released the pressure you put on yourself to find the “perfect” group or activity, and instead got involved in a community that feels welcoming and encouraging, and just keep showing up.
Took a look inward on a regular basis with far less fear, and were more curious about what you found, what it means, and if it’s serving you.
Had more opportunities (and confidence!) sharing your values and unique life experiences so new connections transformed into deeper friendships naturally.

What Feasters Are Saying
Ready to experience more fulfilling relationships and friendships in your life...consistently?
Consistency is key when it comes to building deep connections and friendships. So that’s why Founding Membership options are tiered in 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month increments (which you can select here, or upgrade to at any time). The more months you commit to connection, the better discount you get. Why? Because you’re investing in yourself, and we want to support you in that!
2023 Update: We're making some changes to our community offerings, so stay tuned on when we relaunch membership options again soon!
Our connection promise to you
We’re confident in the power of consistent connection and have seen Feasters grow tremendously as individuals while building deep friendships and community through every single one of our offerings. It’s because of this that we’re confident in the power of these experiences and how they're going to change your life, so Founding membership comes with a hassle-free no-risk guarantee.
If you come to at least three Connection Feast experiences within three months and still don’t find that you’ve had impactful conversations with new people and/or discovered actionable takeaways you can apply to your life, we’ll give you your membership money back.
Yes, it’s that easy. You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.
If you’re reading this page it’s because you’re craving to be part of something bigger, to change your life in an impactful way, and that’s impressive and hard to do alone.
Since 2018, we’ve been committed to building opportunities for people like you to experience deep connection with open-minded people.
And lots of people who are similar to you are also looking for people LIKE you.
How do we know? It’s in the numbers:
These Founding Membership levels and prices are only offered for a limited time.
That’s because we want to give Feasters like you, who’ve been part of this journey the longest, the chance to be part of this community from the ground up.
These membership prices will most likely increase, but we’re offering you a chance to lock in these prices for the duration of your Founding Membership cycle. The longer you select, the longer you’re guaranteed these lower rates.
Joining this community is an investment in your own social wellbeing and in the relationships and friendships you’ll grow in the future.
The longer you wait, or the more indecisive you are, the less likely it is to happen. (As you know, Connection Feast says it like it is!)
FAQs
If I was a Founding Member before 2023, will I still be charged as a member moving forward as you update offerings?
You shouldn’t be getting any charges for your Founding Membership. If you do receive a membership charge, please reach out to us directly at letsconnect@connectionfeast.com and we will take care of that for you ASAP.
Will Connection Feast be beneficial for me?
If you’re curious, a deep thinker, have a desire to improve your social wellbeing and expand your circle of friends, we know it will!
People who have attended our events and experiences (and there are close to 700 of them!) have experienced growth within themselves and in relationship with others even after one event!
Are there any requirements for joining the Connection Feast community?
We ask that everyone who joins the membership community accepts our Community Agreements. These are guidelines that ensure we build a safe and welcoming community, respect our shared spaces, and own our personal journeys.
Can I still attend Connection Feast events if I don’t become a member or if my membership expires?
Of course! If it is not a members-only event, non-members can register for any Connection Feast event that is not sold out. In addition, non-members pay the full ticket price. In addition, non-members get their first Virtual Feast for free!
How long will my membership last for?
Once you click on the membership plan that best fits you, you’ll have the option to commit to 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month memberships. The longer you commit, the bigger discount you receive! For 6-months, receive 10% off, and for 12-months, you get 15% off.
What are “Virtual Feasts” and “City Feasts”?
Virtual Feasts are our online Deep Conversations over Zoom. We structure them around a theme and design the experience to help you get comfortable and connected sharing your thoughts with your fellow Feasters.
City Feasts are in-person social gatherings. They are also intentionally designed around a theme, but also include fun activities, games, and ways to connect with each other after. Currently, we are only offering City Feasts in Seattle and the Bay Area. We hope to come to more cities soon.
What is a Pay-It-Forward ticket?
We want to make sure that anyone who wants to be part of our community can attend our events and offerings. We understand that not everyone is in a financial situation where they can afford a ticket to our events. A Pay-It-Forward ticket is an event ticket funded from the generosity of the community. Anyone can request a Pay-It-Forward ticket using this form, and we will accommodate as many requests as possible.
Can I get copies of my receipts from my membership?
Of course! Reach out to us at letsconnect@connectionfeast.com and we will take care of that for you.
Have another question not covered here? Please email us at letsconnect@connectionfeast.com and we’re happy to help!
Ok, one last time…
We are on a mission to help create deep connection & we’d love for you to be a part of it. Stay tuned for future Membership opportunities. In the meantime, please join us at an in-person or virtual Feast!
