Frequency Pass

Includes both 5-course, chef-led dinners as part of the full program — no stay.

Two hosted five-course dinners run across the week, included with every multi-day pass. They aren't buffets and they aren't add-ons. They're part of the program, on the schedule like everything else.

The menu is built by our culinary lead together with a guest chef. Each one is made to taste of the place, not to perform for the room.

The first is the Opening Ceremony dinner on Thursday, a slow arrival by the water that opens the week. The last is the Farewell Dinner on Monday, Day 5, Integrate. A final shared table before everyone scatters on Return.

Two hosted tables
Dinner I · Thursday · Ground

Opening Ceremony

The opening-night table. A slow arrival by the water — five courses, shared plates, the room learning each other as the week begins.

Dinner II · Monday · Integrate

Farewell Dinner

The week's closing chapter. A seated, five-course meal designed as a soft, curated close — the final shared table before Return.

Hospitality before spectacle. The plate is a chapter of the arc, not a performance.
