The Crowded Table
A COMMUNAL MEAL ON THE THRESHOLD OF SIGNIFICANT CHANGE
An invitation to ecological relation.
JOIN US IN A COLLECTIVE GESTURE OF IMAGINATION.
It’s a gathering.
It may or may not have to do with food though it certainly will nourish you.
Bring your body. Bring your heart. Let’s navigate. Together.
