Meeting new people in this day and age may seem like an easy thing to do but in reality, it is just more intimidating and confusing.  Most online websites only help you connect and network virtually... that is not truly making new friends.  Other groups around Columbus offer lots of business education and networking or perhaps a place to meet singles.  Again, not the ideal place to simply kick-back in a casual environment. This is where Dimensional Entertainment come in.  We take the online com …

We meet every Tuesday at various upscale venues in order to socialize and meet others who share our interests in food, wine and entertaining, travel and more.... Ultimately, the goal is to meet others who enjoy entertaining and or hosting dinner parties at their homes. Our weekly meetings give each member an opportunity to meet others who not only enjoy being invited to parties (we all know lots of these folks,) but to also meet those rather rare individuals who enjoy hosting such events.

We've started this group to connect those BEings interested in the Access Consciousness ideology, desire to be informed of Bars Classes, Gifting & Receiving Shares and other Consciousness expanding events and opportunities.
