What to expect
A brave space, around a shared table
We call our gatherings a brave space. Everyone brings their own story, and we won’t always agree. What we do agree on is showing up honestly, listening well, and treating each other with kindness.
The idea comes from the poem “An Invitation to Brave Space” by Micky ScottBey Jones. At every seat, you’ll find a card with the simple agreement we make when we sit down together.
We Agree
There’s a lot we may not agree on. In sitting down, we choose to agree on this:
- I will grant you welcome, and I thank you for the welcome you grant me.
- I will show up, be present, and be open to creating this experience together.
- I will speak and listen with truth and love, agreeing or disagreeing with respect and kindness.

Scenes from our gatherings
Good food, good people, and real conversation. Here’s a look at what happens when we pull up a chair together.
