ritual dinner

Restoring the Sanctity of Dining Together.

An intimate farm to table dining experience that explores the best parts of each season through food, community and philanthropy. The intention behind RITUAL is to create space for our guests to restore the sanctity of nourishing ourselves and each other in order to reconnect back with our bodies, the community, and the land around us.

A percentage of the proceeds from each dinner is donated to a featured organization or charity that coincides with the season.

The mission and vision: Restoring the sanctity of food and giving back in a meaningful way.

Each dinner is curated with the intention of gathering community together in a safe environment to nourish and share wisdom around the importance of seasonal eating and raise resources for ongoing issues we experience in our community.

core values

WE ENCOURAGE CONNECTION

We believe that world change begins with inner world change, and when we can connect to the food on our plates we are better equipped to reconnect to the world around us.

WE CULTIVATE
COMMUNITY

By restoring the dining ritual we are reminded of the importance of coming together and the healing that happens through food.

WE GROW
TOGETHER

Ritual recognizes that not every seed that is planted becomes fruit to harvest. We honor the miracle it takes to grow and we are committed to facing any challenges we may encounter with resilience.

WE OFFER
NOURISHMENT

We are passionate about offering a nourishing farm to table experience through dining together. In our fast paced world, providing a safe space for sustenance together is sacred.

CREATE WITH
INTENTION

Everything that we create is crafted with intention. We are meticulous about the details and we work in unison with nature in order to provide a memorable experience.

WE HONOR INCLUSIVITY

We recognize that the individual is a significant part of a greater whole and when we can honor our differences and meet together at the table we can create the change that we wish to see.
