Altars Festival 2026: Brunch with Barrett

Join philosopher, author, and educator Barrett Holmes Pitner for brunch and conversation at Lillie Pearl.

On the final day of Altars Festival 2026, gather around the table to consider the week’s themes of reconciliation, repair, and reconstruction—and what it means to carry those ideas into everyday life.

Share a meal, connect with others, and make space for thoughtful conversation about what we can build together.

Part of Altars Festival 2026

Altars Festival brings people together through communal altar making, conversation, music, film, and wellness. Taking place November 1–7 in Richmond and Petersburg, this year’s festival centers on reconciliation, repair, and reconstruction: acknowledging the histories we carry, tending to relationships and communities, and considering what we can build together.

Whether you join us for one gathering or several, we invite you to reflect, connect, and participate.
