Every Monday
The Intellectual Salon Returns.
One guest is secretly chosen as the evening’s Facilitator, receiving a private prompt to guide the discussion. No small talk—just depth, insight, and connection.
Pull up a chair. Let’s talk.
let’s Renous
You are not here to network. You are not here to fill silence. You are here because something in you is restless—something that longs for a conversation that stays with you long after the night ends.
Renous is not an event. It is a gathering of minds, a quiet rebellion against a world that has forgotten how to listen. Every Monday, a question is set into motion, passed from one thinker to the next, shaping itself in real-time. There is no performance here, no need to be anything but present.
By the time the table empties, something shifts. A new idea takes root. A perspective softens. A conversation lingers in the space between what was said and what was felt.
Every Monday, the table is set.
Sit down. Speak freely. See where it takes you.
