BreakBread World Fundamentals: Conversation Alchemy & the Art of Gathering

In a world that often feels divided, distracted and disconnected, how do we create spaces where people feel invited to be honest, curious, and more fully human?

Welcome to BreakBread World Fundamentals—a day-long immersive workshop for anyone longing to spark meaningful connection and become a steward of deeper conversation in their communities and life.

🙏 Why It Matters

At BreakBread, we believe the conversation reflects the culture. And in a world where people are too often divided, distracted, or just plain exhausted, Conversation Activism is about reclaiming space for what really matters: curiosity, connection and our shared humanity.

This workshop isn’t just about hosting a great meal (though we’ll absolutely cover the art of gathering in the second part of the day). It’s about learning how to lead with presence, hold space with care, and build community through conversation.
