Deviant Dinner Parties for Deep Thinkers and Big Feelers
NEUROTICA
Sick of the same tired conversations?
Craving connection that cuts deeper than “So, what do you do?”
NEUROTICA is a gathering for deep thinkers, creative misfits, and curious humans who want more than polite chatter and name-tag networking. This is your invitation to explore ideas that challenge, connect, and disrupt—over good wine, great food, and conversations that leave you buzzing with insight.
Each session brings together a mix of fascinating people to unpack unexpected, juicy topics. You’ll be guided by provocative prompts, mind-bending questions, and the kind of dialogue that sparks self-reflection, fresh perspectives, and maybe even new friendships.
No awkward icebreakers. No empty small talk. No echo chambers.
Just bold ideas, real connection, and the freedom to say the quiet parts out loud.
Come for the wine. Stay for the conversation that lingers.
What to expect…
A curated crowd of interesting minds
Delicious wine and food (obviously)
Guided provocations to fuel meaningful, unscripted conversations
Unexpected topics that get you thinking
A warm, low-pressure space to connect—whether you’re an overthinker, under-talker or just craving something more real or raw
Meet Your Host
Dr Ash King is a psychologist, writer, and host of the podcast INTERFERING NEUROTIC. She works closely with creative arts workers and runs an intimate peer community for mental health professionals. Equal parts brainy and blunt, Ash believes that carefully curated conversation helps us explore life’s most unruly terrain—intellectual, emotional, and existential. (And yes, she also believes wine sometimes helps.)
Spaces are limited. Curiosity essential. Cynicism welcome.
