The First Afternoon — the first gathering of The Fourth Space
Home is the first place. Work is the second. The café you already go to is the third. The fourth is harder to name: a room you enter as one version of yourself and leave as a slightly different one, in the company of someone who was paying attention.
The Fourth Space grew out of Connected, a series of conversation dinners run in San Francisco and Taipei between 2023 and 2024. Those evenings taught us something we did not expect: people do not come for networking or icebreakers. What they value is the rare permission to sit across from someone and have an honest conversation. The First Afternoon gives that idea a proper home.
How the afternoon runs
One — the person you brought. A guided conversation with your partner, family member or friend, using questions you would probably never think to ask them. Childhood, what you each mean by love, the thing you have been avoiding saying.
Two — a stranger. The same depth, with someone else in the room. It is easier than it sounds, and it usually changes how the third session goes.
Three — something spceial, something that changes each time.
Who this is for
Come as a pair, with someone whose relationship you genuinely want to grow: a partner, a parent, an adult child, a sibling, a close friend, a colleague you would like to know properly. If you would like to come alone, tell us on the sign-up form and we will pair you with someone.
You do not need to be good at talking about feelings. The questions do that work. You need two hours and a willingness to answer with an open mind.

第一個下午 —— The Fourth Space 的首場聚會
家是第一個地方。工作是第二個。你早已熟悉的那間咖啡館是第三個。
第四個比較難以命名：一個房間，你帶著某一個版本的自己走進去，離開時卻成了略微不同的人，而陪伴你的人，始終專注地聆聽著。
The Fourth Space 源自「Connected」——一系列在 2023 至 2024 年間，於舊金山與台北舉辦的對話晚宴。那些夜晚教會我們一件意料之外的事：人們前來，並非為了社交或破冰。他們真正珍視的，是難得的許可——得以坐在某人面前，展開一場誠實的對話。第一個下午，便是要為這個想法，建立一個屬於它的容身之處。
流程
第一場：你帶來的那個人。與你的伴侶、家人或朋友，進行一場引導式對話，問出那些你平常大概不會想到要問的問題。童年、你們各自對愛的理解、那件你一直迴避說出口的事。
第二場：一位陌生人。同樣的深度，換成房間裡的另一個人。這其實比聽起來容易，而它往往會改變第三場的走向。
第三場：一些特別的、每次都會變化的內容。
這是為誰而設
請成對前來，與一個你真心想要加深關係的人：伴侶、父母、成年子女、手足、摯友，或是一位你想好好認識的同事。若你想獨自前來，請在報名表上告訴我們，我們會為你配對。
你不需要擅長談論情感。問題會替你完成這件事。你只需要兩個小時，以及敞開心胸回答的意願。
