Welcome to the most exclusive long table dinner series on the Sea to Sky.
What is Dine Wilder?
Dine Wilder is a space for you to fully immerse yourself in the richness that comes from setting aside titles and those typical networking questions you’re likely tired of.
When did you last leave an event feeling better rested, calmer, more centered but equally inspired and motivated?
Our roaming dinner series is held in a different venue each month, with an emotion or word intentionally chosen to fit the space and our speaker.
Using conversation prompts, we’ll skip the small talk and delve deeper into what the theme of the evening (joy, abundance, confidence…) means to us.
Pull up a seat, share and soak up the stories from the strangers who are about to become your friends.
OUR MISSION
Community • Connection • Conversations

"I attended the Dine Wilder "Dine with intent" event and wow did it move me. As a small business owner its hard to find time for yourself and put you first. I did exactly that by attending this event and it was magical. The setting, the food, the people. I felt truly relaxed and truly myself. Thank you Emily for creating such magic."
Clare Livingstone, Treat Squamish

"As someone who attends Dine Wilder events to capture their essence in a time-proof format, it brings me so much joy to know that I’m not just documenting another night of casual conversations and gossips that fade by the next day. It’s incredibly fulfilling to witness the collective energy in the room and feel the power of new relationships forming. And who knows—maybe one day, a photograph will become a treasured memory of the moment something HUGE began."

"As a through and through introvert, I typically find rooms full of people draining. However, some rooms are apparently magic. The candlelight, the chatter, the conversation, the community... all combine to fill you up. Emily is a gem of a human, who knows how to create this magic."
Anne Mackenzie, Executive Director - Squamish Chamber of Commerce

Women from all phases and stages of life are coming together in the most beautiful way and connecting through conversations we otherwise might not have!"

I walked away not just full but also truly inspired. I met incredible women, shared heartfelt stories, and felt this real sense of connection that lingers even now."

"This was a beautiful event filled with meaningful conversations. I recommend to everyone to dive in our community and to do whatever it takes to participate in its growth. After all we are, all here, to take responsibility for our experiences. We can make ours absolutely fantastic."

Meet Emily Shimwell
Hi, I’m Emily.
I’m wildly passionate about connecting people and curating beautiful experiences to facilitate that.
I live life based on how I want to feel. I choose the end feeling I’d like myself and others to feel and work backwards from that, finding a way to bring it into reality.
The word entrepreneur always gave me imposter syndrome but I’m slowly coming to terms with the fact that from being as young as 5, that’s exactly the spirit I’ve had running through my veins.
I’d love to see you at the dinner table…
