Many of us are caregivers at home, contributors at work, and pillars that prop up our families and communities. With all of this responsibility comes limited time and space for us to feel, share, and be taken care of ourselves.

Parlay House was created to turn the tables on that pattern. We create environments for those truths to be shared with each other, and for us to feel less isolated as a result.

Most of our new members admit that they’ve never been to anything quite like a Parlay House gathering. That’s probably because our one and only rule is that members can’t come to events to extract favors. It’s a non-transactional environment that values depth over breadth. That means you can’t come with the hope of extracting free services from another member or promoting your own agenda. Instead, we ask you to prioritize vulnerable conversation, inclusive discussions, and unique points of view. We ask that you practice being open and vulnerable because it inspires others to do the same.

While our events vary across the board, our signature gatherings take place in members’ homes around the globe and typically last two hours. They include time to relax, snack, sip, and connect as well as time for programming around topics that matter.
