BushidoMoon

Intentional serendipity under the full moon.

BushidoMoon is a small, invitation-based gathering where curious, generous, and interesting people connect before, during, and after a shared full moon experience.

It is part picnic, part dinner, part conversation salon, part community experiment — designed to create real connection, unexpected introductions, and meaningful momentum.

What It Is

Not networking. Not small talk. A living experiment in connection.

Most events begin cold. People arrive, exchange job titles, make small talk, and hope something useful happens.

BushidoMoon works differently.

Before the gathering, participants connect through a WhatsApp group. They introduce themselves, ask questions, share who they are, and name the kinds of people they hope to meet.

By the time everyone meets in person, the room is already warm.

BushidoMoon creates the conditions for serendipity — through curiosity, generosity, and intentional introductions.

How It Works

Before, during, and after.

Before

Participants join the WhatsApp group, introduce themselves, share why they are coming, and name three people they would love to meet.

During

The group gathers for picnic, dinner, conversation, and full moon viewing near the Washington National Cathedral.

After

The connection continues. People follow up, help each other, make introductions, and build real relationships beyond the event.

The Three People Question

Who are three people you want to meet?

Every participant is invited to think about three kinds of connection.

Life

Someone who expands your world personally — a friend, mentor, teacher, artist, adventurer, healer, or someone who has lived through something you are trying to understand.

Business

Someone who can help you build, launch, fund, sell, hire, partner, solve, or think more clearly.

Serendipity

Someone you cannot fully define yet — a wild card, a strange fit, a person outside your usual world, or someone who might unlock an unexpected door.

The more specific you are, the more useful the room becomes.

It is for people who are willing to show up with curiosity, generosity, and presence.

The shared spirit is simple:

Live Life Boldly. Help Each Other. Anything is Possible.

Testimonial

"BushidoMoon has helped me connect with people I would not normally meet through my professional world or usual circle of friends. The people I have met have been thoughtful, generous, and genuinely helpful — and I have enjoyed helping them with their goals as well. What I appreciate most is that BushidoMoon is part of a broader ecosystem of connection: dinners, coffees, walks, and gatherings built around people helping each other live more boldly."
