Welcome to Dine Wilder - a one of a kind roaming dinner retreat for women.

OH. THIS ONE.

You’ve probably seen the personal excitement from our founder, Emily wilder, when she received a signed contract back from her favourite podcast host all the way from Australia.

jai long is one of those humans who makes you stop, rethink the rules you’ve been following and wonder why the hell you haven’t just gone for the thing you keep talking yourself out of. It’s kinda similar to how this whole business has been created, if we’re honest.

Jai is an award-winning photographer, podcast host, author and motivational speaker who has built multi-million dollar creative businesses and spent years helping other creatives turn their ideas into income and build lives on their own terms.

His own story is anything but conventional. He grew up moving between women’s refuges, experienced homelessness, lived in a teepee and spent years in what some would describe as a religious cult. It’s a pretty extraordinary story, and it’s shaped the way he sees the world, success and what it actually means to build a life that belongs to you.

And now, he’s putting all of that thinking into his new book, Make Your Break, coming soon. And YES, if you come to FEAST, you’ll be one of the first int he world to receive a copy.

The whole idea behind the book feels so wildly aligned with what we’re creating at FEAST: changing your life requires a decision, not permission.

We’re not interested in telling you to follow the rules better. We’re interested in asking whether the rules you’re following are even yours in the first place.

We cannot WAIT to hear Jai unpack all of this on October 25. We have a feeling there are going to be some big thoughts, some big questions and probably a few moments where we all sit there thinking…oh sh . Maybe I actually can.

jai long. Welcome to FEAST. We’re SO excited.

We’ve all been there.

You walk into a room where you don’t know anyone, suddenly forget how to talk to humans, and find yourself thinking… okay, who do I talk to?

So here are a few questions to keep in your back pocket next time you find yourself at a dinner, event, party, or anywhere else with a room full of strangers!

And remember: you don’t have to make small talk.

Ask something you’re actually curious about.
Tell someone what you’re excited about.
Follow the conversation somewhere unexpected. If you have something you are proud of, tell them about your businesssss.

Save this for the next time you’re walking into a room alone 🤍

Terravista Vineyards has been beside us since the very beginning, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have them along for the ride. 🤍

If you’ve been to a DINE WILDER event and had a glass of wine in your hand, chances are you’ve had the chance to try Terravista.

And it’s kind of wild to think about how many times we’ve watched the same people - and the same wine - come back to our tables again and again.

They’re a small winery on the Naramata Bench, making beautiful small-lot white wines with a whole lot of intention.

And if there’s one thing we know about ourselves, it’s that we love a yummy drink around the table.

So having a wine we genuinely love, made by people who have believed in what we’re building from the beginning is pretty darn special.

Here’s to many more tables, many more conversations and many more glasses poured. Thank you Terravista for supporting our continued mission to bring humans together!!!

Toronto, we have a seat waiting for you! Yes YOU!

September 26th is shaping up to be a dreamy day and we honestly feel it’s nothing like you’ve experienced before.

We’ve neverrr done anything quite like this, and it makes us soo excited to be expanding into a new city - in a way that’s also expanded us more than you probably know.

Join Courtney Thomas, founder of Courtney Thomas, for a transformative half-day retreat designed to help you reconnect, reset, and step into your next chapter with greater clarity and intention.

Then - because apparently we don’t know how to do things halfway - stay for the Dine Wilder Panel. An engaging business panel hosted by our founder Emily, featuring honest conversations, insights, and inspiring stories from entrepreneurs building businesses with purpose and intention.

We’ll be sitting down with Courtney from Courtney Thomas and Kelsey from Birch Babe for a raw, fun, and engaging conversation - get ready for some giggles!!

A full day of reconnecting, resetting, and getting real with some genuinely incredible women!

Tickets in bio. We cannot wait to meet you in a new city! 🥂

This night is imprinted as one of the dreamiestttt nights of summer.

There’s something about sitting around a table with incredible humans and suddenly feeling like there’s nowhere else you need to be.

You notice you haven’t checked your phone in hours.
You’re completely immersed in the conversation.
You’re laughing. You’re listening. You’re telling stories.
And then that little voice in your mind says, “Okay, I should probably go…”

But somehow you’re not ready to.

So maybe you linger for another 20 minutes.

Then another 40.

Maybe you stay farrrr longer than you planned because the conversation is too good, the people are too interesting, and for a few hours, there really is nowhere else you’d rather be.

We think that feeling is pretty special. And it’s what we strive for at our events.

09/02/2026

We remember how people make us feel.

Long after we’ve forgotten what they were wearing, what they did for work, or even exactly what we talked about.

It’s the person who made you feel welcome.

The one who made you laugh.

The one who asked the question no one else thought to ask.

The one who made a room full of strangers feel a little less strange.

That’s the kind of connection we’re always chasing around our tables.

Same raw, unfiltered conversations.
Same room full of women who show up for themselves.
Just a brand new city.

WHERE ON EARTH DO WE EVEN BEGIN WITH THIS HUMAN?!

Tell us: do you know JULIA MCCABE WELLNESS? If you don’t…you’re about to.

Julia brings over TWENTY years of experience blending storytelling, teaching, neuroscience, psychology and human behaviour into experiences that make people think, feel and probably question a few things too. With a background in Kinesiology and postgraduate studies in Neuroscience, Psychology and Mental Health, she has led trainings and retreats around the world, teaching everything from mindfulness-based stress reduction to neuroscience and leadership development.

The qualifications are impressive. The experience is impressive. The knowledge is VERY impressive. But what we love most about Julia is the way she makes people FEEL.

In true Julia fashion, when we asked her what exactly she would deliver at FEAST, she said: “I don’t know what exactly I’ll deliver on October 25, but I’ll sure as hell make people feel something.”

What more could we want?! Leading with a feeling is how we roll.

It is very, very fitting that Julia is joining us at FEAST because that is exactly what this day is about. Not sitting quietly in a room being talked at. Not another polished business conference where you take 47 notes and forget 46 of them by Monday.

We are here to FEEL something. To think differently. To breathe. To get uncomfortable. To laugh. To connect. To have conversations that stay with us long after we leave.

October 25. Cheakamus Centre. Come ready.

Perfection - it’s never something we strive for.

From the glasswear to the chairs, the content of the conversation to the questions we encourage our guests to ask. It’s so clear we’re all tired of it. On socials and even more so in real life.

Never is that felt more than at Wilder Side of Business panel events.

We don’t attempt to draw you in with a hook of false promise that we’re going to send you home with life changing skills to upend your career and deliver your highest revenue year. What we do claim is to be a safe place for conversation.

We’re unafraid to bring the topics to the table and hold space for the questions and opinions you might not feel comfortable asking or sharing elsewhere.

Thank you Green Olive for welcoming us with open arms as we explored what going the extra mile means to each of us fiercely ambitious about our careers and our clients✨
