Wow, the beautiful words from our first Long Table Dinner, was enough to confirm we would be doing it again!
“It’s been so lovely to get out and meet new people, delicious food!”
“Good food, good people, good vibes!”
“Loved the positivity, thanks to the cooks, they did an amazing job!”
Anything else you would like to share with us? “I am full!”
“Such a beautiful warm feeling of connecting around the table with yummy kai. It felt like being out, but the relaxed vibes made it feel like you were just at a friend’s house! Such a great and unique combination!”
“Was such a great way to put myself out there a bit more, step out of my comfort zone and practice what I have been learning!I felt proud that I came and was able to have conversations.”
“Familiar space, familiar face(s), talking over kai, with the glue being Liz Fry!”
So much magic happened that night! Looking forward to doing it again!
There is something deeply comforting about gathering around a table – A chance to slow down and simply be with one another. A space to breathe.
Long Table Dinner is an opportunity to come together in real life and reconnect with the heart of community. It is a chance to be offline, connect and share in an evening of belonging, togetherness and meaningful conversation.
When we gather around the table, stories can be shared, laughter may be heard, commonalities are found and something beautiful begins to form – a golden thread of connection weaves gently through our community.
In a time when so much of life happens online, these real-life moments of togetherness matter. They remind us that community is something we build, together, in small and meaningful ways – through presence, openness and alongsideness.
These are the moments that strengthen the fabric of a community, the moments that build trust, belonging and resilience, the moments that help us feel a little more at home, grounded and a part of something.
For $25, your place at the table includes:
- A hearty roast dinner
- Dessert
- A warm and welcoming shared table experience
- The opportunity to connect with others in your community
We have just 20 spots available, so bookings are essential and need to be booked by 10th July to help with the ordering.
If you have are wanting more real-life connection, more belonging and more spaces that feel human, warm and authentic, we would love to have you with us!
If you feel called to, you can pay a spot forward for someone else in the community. A simple act of generosity that helps widen the circle and make the table more available for others too.
Come join us at the table as we share a meal and weave that golden thread of connection through our community.
