The Great Gathering is a community-centered event designed to bring people together through shared experiences, creativity, and conversation.
On Saturday, May 2, we’re creating a space where you can spend time, explore different activities, and connect with others in a way that feels natural and low-pressure.
Throughout the event, there will be facilitated experiences and activities rooted in five areas of community building:
• Create & Express
• Gather & Grow
• Live & Learn
• Nature & Nurture
• Relax & Reflect
Each space will offer something a little different! You’re free to move through them at your own pace, join in, or simply take it all in.
At the center of everything will be a shared dining space with a limited menu of soups from The Gathered Table: a place to sit, eat, and connect (or just take a moment for yourself).
You can come with others or come on your own.
We’re still finalizing details around programming and logistics, but wanted to start sharing early for anyone who might want to be part of it.
We are also vetting for volunteers and potential facilitators. If this is something you may be interested in, send us a message!
🎟️ Tickets will cost: $12 for adults, $6 for kids. Venmo or cash will be accepted.
*Disclaimer: While the event will be hosted at Mount Hope Lutheran Church, The Gathered Table is not affiliated with the church. They’ve simply been an incredible partner in providing space and support to help bring this event and business to life.
