Bloom

The Cohort Experience

A 3-month journey to pause, breathe, and grow real connections.
For Bay Area women who are ready to trade the busy blur for a place to belong and be seen.

Welcome to Serendipity by Einat

People surround you. And Yet…
In the Bay Area — this vibrant, creative, and often overwhelming place —
It’s easy to be surrounded by people — but still feel unseen.

Maybe you’ve had moments of real connection — at a dinner, a workshop, or a chance encounter. Moments that felt warm and true.

But they were just that — moments.
You want more than a fleeting spark. You want a space to nurture those connections.
A place to pause, breathe, and let real relationships take root.

🌸 Bloom was created for women who are ready for something more.

A space to gather again and again — not just to meet, but to grow.
To build trust, to share openly, and to show up fully.
To create something real and lasting in a circle of women who are also seeking more.



We meet every other week, weaving themes like Trust, Transitions, Identity, Rest, and Play into our conversations.
Each gathering builds on the last, creating a rhythm of trust and possibility.

Because research shows that to turn a stranger into a friend, it takes not just time — but the quality of conversation, the safety of the container, and the courage to show up fully.
Bloom offers you all three.


Bloom isn’t just a gathering — it’s a journey.
A small, intentional group of women coming together again and again to share, explore, and grow.

In a world where over 60% of adults report feeling lonely, and most friendships fade within seven years, spaces like this aren’t just meaningful—they’re necessary.

Serendipity;

Serendipity is usually defined as something beautiful that happens by chance. But these dinners aren’t accidental. They are intentional moments created to invite in the unexpected.


By choosing to show up, you are being proactive about connection without knowing exactly what will unfold. Maybe you’ll leave with a new friend, a future collaborator, or simply a deeper sense of self. That’s the beauty of Serendipity. It happens when you’re open, present, and willing to let the evening take shape.


This is intentional serendipity. And it’s the magic that makes these dinners so unforgettable.

What Awaits You at the Table

A Setting Made to Inspire Connection


It’s not just about meeting new people. It’s about arriving as you are, taking a quiet moment to set an intention, and letting thoughtfully guided conversation open the door to something deeper. In this space, vulnerability feels natural, and connection unfolds with ease.

Conversations That Go Beyond the Surface


Every dinner is gently guided with prompts designed to open hearts and invite meaningful connection. You’ll have the space to share if it feels right, or simply to listen and reflect without pressure. It’s about creating a space where you can show up as you are and feel supported every step of the way.

A Circle of Women Ready to Grow


Our gatherings attract women who are curious, kind, open-hearted, and ready to build relationships that last. Whether you’re new in town, navigating a life transition, or simply seeking deeper friendships, this is your invitation to sit down, exhale, and connect. You never know what might bloom from one night.

How it Works

Step 1: Join the Waitlist

I keep our gatherings intimate. Seats are limited, but the connections are limitless. Join the waitlist to be the first invited when seats open.

Step 2: Experience the magic

When your invitation arrives, claim your seat. Show up ready to connect, you don’t need to prepare anything except your open heart. I’ll handle the rest.

Step 3: Join the Invite-Only Membership

Dinner is just the beginning. Many of our guests describe walking away with the genuine  connections, inspiration, and inner spark they’ve been seeking. And if it feels right, you’ll have the opportunity to continue nurturing those connections inside our private membership community.

Meet the Woman Behind the Table

My journey into community building didn’t begin in a boardroom. It started with a move. Several, actually. As my husband and I relocated for work and life, I often found myself in new places, searching for meaningful connections and a true sense of belonging. It wasn’t until I landed in my husband’s small hometown that something shifted. I realized I couldn’t keep waiting for the kind of community I was craving. So I created it myself.

What started as a personal need soon became a calling. I began creating intentional spaces for women to gather, connect, and grow. Today, I’m the heartbeat behind several communities, and I support others in building their own. Community isn’t just something I facilitate—it’s something I live and breathe. It’s my craft. It’s my gift.

But here’s what most people don’t see:
Every Serendipity gathering is designed and brought to life by me, from the first flower on the table to the last question of the night. I hand-select the centerpieces. I write every name tag. I shape the conversation, curate the themes, and invent the bonding activities with care. I pour intention into every detail so that each guest feels held, inspired, and free to show up as their best and truest self.

Professionally, I work with organizations to help teams communicate more openly, build trust, and form the kind of bonds that transform collaboration. Personally, I bring that same heart into Serendipity Dinners—infusing professional insight with a deep knowing of what it means to crave true connection.

Every dinner is designed through the eyes of someone who’s lived the longing for belonging—and made it her mission to help others find it too. The experience is intentional, the conversations are guided, and there is no pressure to perform. You don’t have to be the loudest voice in the room. You just have to come as you are.

There is no pressure to perform or be anyone other than yourself. If you are introverted or unsure, know that you are safe here. I create spaces where connection unfolds naturally, and where your story is always welcome.

This is more than a dinner. It is a space created by someone who has walked the path, felt the longing, and decided to offer others the chance to experience the kind of connection we are all quietly searching for.

Because the Truth Is.. We’re Not Meant to Do Life Alone

We’re meant to sit at tables together—to laugh, share, be seen, and truly know one another. Serendipity Dinners is where that happens. It’s where women come as strangers and leave as something much more—connected, inspired, and reminded of just how beautiful it is to belong.

the magic moment

There’s a moment that happens at every dinner. It’s not planned or scripted, but it always arrives.

Sometimes it’s during the first round of sharing. Other times, it’s when someone leans in and says, “I’ve never said this out loud before.” It’s a shift.

You can feel the energy soften. You look around the table and realize that everyone is really listening — not just waiting to talk, but truly taking each other in.


That moment is the magic.

It’s sparked by the women who show up with openness and heart. It’s in the way stories unfold, the way one person’s words mirror something you’ve felt but haven’t been able to name. It’s reflective, inspiring, and deeply human.

You see yourself in others, and for a moment, you feel less alone.

That’s what makes these dinners different. You can’t fully explain it, but once you’ve felt it, you carry it with you.


And I hope you’ll come experience it for yourself.

Plant the Seed & Watch it Bloom

Every dinner plants the seed of something special.

Our invite-only membership is where that seed takes root—through continued gatherings, deeper conversations, and a private space to nurture the relationships you’ve just begun.

Because connection doesn’t stop at one night.

 It grows when you keep showing up.

little love notes

When attendees were asked to describe their experience, heres what they said…

  • “It was such an amazing event. To be able to leave the house, the mess and the children behind, and to enter this beautifully decorated, sophisticated space. Thanks to Einat, the activities and conversation felt so natural and so comfortable. I honestly felt like I had known the other women there for a long time, even though we had just met! I felt completely listened to and understood and left feeling energized. I can’t wait for the next one!”

    Jessica Gerard 

  • “It was the best kind of dinner party. The kind that has interesting and honest women and everyone shares, listens, and connects. It was thoughtfully and skillfully curated so that every woman felt seen with plenty of opportunity to discuss as an intimate group. The host held space so beautifully for everyone.”

  • “I loved how we really had the space to have thoughtful and deep conversations as a group. There was no small talk. And there was so much sisterhood.”

    Lori K

  • “It was quite remarkable to me how much meticulous effort Einat put together to create an atmosphere that was very welcoming and fostered open and authentic dialogue. It was magical how we transformed from a group of strangers to a group of friends!”

    Tilly Kalisky

  • “I had a wonderful time at Serendipity Dinner, I’ve met incredible women. I believe there are many incredible women around but this dinner made it possible to connect to them in a real, authentic and deep way, effortless. I am still in touch with them and I’m grateful for a beautiful well orchestrated evening that ended up being so fruitful in connecting with others and with myself. As I wasn’t intentionally looking for that, I can only summarize it with Serendipity.”

    Deborah Hillel

  • “Last week, I attended a Serendipity Dinner - a series of dinners for Palo Alto women facilitated by community builder extraordinaire Einat Maron. I didn’t know exactly what to expect, but it ended up being many fun-filled hours with 9 new friends with delicious food and wine, great stories, and most importantly, a place to forge meaningful connections. If you’re looking for a place to get beyond small talk and have real conversations with women like you, I wouldn’t hesitate to sign up!”

    Leor Melamedov

  • “Last month, I joined Einat’s Serendipity Dinner to meet local women. The warm setup and engaging activities created an instant connection. In just 30 minutes, we were chatting like old friends. Beyond surface-level connections, I’ve not only made new friends but also value Einat’s commitment to regularly regrouping the community. Join the dinner—it’s a delightful journey!”

    Pooja Kohil

  • “Dining with Einat at the Serendipity Dinner was enchanting! Engaging in thought-provoking conversations with local women, guided by Einat’s skillful prompts, opened the door to discovering our shared experiences. The inclusive atmosphere allowed us to connect deeply, uncovering commonalities and learning from one another. I look forward to building lasting connections within this cohort and extending my community to include more Serendipity women.”

    Liat Weinsenberg

  • “A lovely intimate dinner with a group of women from all ages, which was delicious and filled with meaningful sharing activities that drove connection”

    Shira Yair

  • “A diverse group of interesting & fun women looking to make connections & build community with other women— in a beautiful outdoor setting with exquisite food & drinks.”

    Stacey Ashlund

  • “It was a one-of-a-kind experience that I will carry with me for a long time. It was joyful and meaningful and I loved it.”

    Rachel Vazquez-Reina

  • “I’m relatively new to the area (from LA) and have discovered that I’m definitely not alone in this experience. So many moms here don’t have family nearby or long-standing friendships, and we’re building a life for ourselves, our careers, and our children here. I want to tell all the moms in Palo Alto about last night—because it feels like something so many of us need. Last night Einat Maron create a beautiful gathering/dinner party with connecting activities for a group of moms from my children’s school. There were no kids, just deep conversation, sharing, laughter and wonderful food. I feel like this is what we need more of— really connection in new towns. If it feels like something you’re needing too, I highly recommend connecting with Einat and her Serendipity Women’s community. I am grateful for the way she masterfully creates space and laughter in real conversations.”

    Sonnet S.

  • “I loved each activity and flow of conversations. The most meaningful part for me was genuine connection that happened so naturally among strangers. Sitting beside women I hadn’t met before and diving straight into real vulnerable conversations felt rare and refreshing. It was a reminder of how powerful intentional gatherings can be.”
