How can we flourish in times of turbulence & change?

What is Flourishing Futures?

Founded in 2022, this project was born from the podcast, In Conversation with Nathalie Nahai, and aims to bring people together to ignite deeper conversations, forge new friendships and expand our perspectives on how we might meet the challenges facing us today.

These Salons are curated, gastronomical evenings that combine heart-warming food and elegant wines with meaningful, thought-provoking conversation. With up to 14 guests, these gatherings are held in private venues and facilitated by Nathalie and her co-hosts.

Our Mission…

We believe that it is only through coming together, weaving stronger relationships and harnessing our collective creativity, imagination and skills, that we can create a more flourishing future for all.

As we forge our way through this time of uncertainty and transformation - through the crises of climate change and biodiversity loss, to growing economic inequalities and the fragmentation of the public sphere - we are tipping into a liminal space in which old systems are faltering, making way for the new.

It is our hope that these Salons will offer you a space of refuge and reconnection - gatherings in which to playfully explore your hopes, fears and aspirations - from which you’ll leave feeling more enlivened, empowered and inspired by the rich possibilities that life has to offer.

  • “The evening was magical. 13 strangers bonded very quickly and shared openly... If you want some of this magic in your company, or among your friends, ask Nathalie to come along for an evening. You won’t regret it, and the effect among your peers will stay long after she has left.”

  • "An unforgettable dinner - unique in the way it made us talk about things that we seldom talk about, especially with new friends… It made me feel more connected to people."

  • "Very liberating... unlike anything I'd ever done before. I felt very heard, whilst also relishing in other people’s lived experiences and thought processes."

  • “FFS facilitates an intriguing way to bypass all the usual small talk and go straight to discussing issues of substance. It made me feel uplifted to see such interesting people reveal themselves, and I was incredibly touched by the care and thought that went into giving us this unique forum in which to meet.”

  • “I surprised myself at how quick and easy it was to move into relationship with total strangers, sharing our dark secrets and dazzling insights… We were at once unusually free and boundaried, refreshed and excited.”

We offer several types of Salon…

  • A gastronomical evening of locally sourced food, elegant wine pairings, and meaningful, facilitated conversation.

    These gatherings host up to 14 guests, and are held in private spaces in London and Barcelona. Facilitated by Nathalie Nahai and co-hosts.

  • If you’re looking for a captivating, memorable experience for your event or conference, we’ll design a Flourishing Futures Salon that will leave your guests exhilarated and inspired.

    We craft our gatherings to foster deeper relationships, ignite meaningful conversations and cultivate a shared sense of belonging - the kind of unique experience that people will be talking about for months to come.
