This is a thoughtfully paced 2.5-hour dinner experience, offered over several courses with space for conversation, reflection, and quiet participation.
You’ll be greeted into a calm, welcoming space where you can settle in, meet the hosts, and learn the simple agreements that guide the evening: listen with care, share only what feels right, and honor each person’s experience. The gathering is intentionally intimate, welcoming no more than 16 adults who feel ready for gentle reflection in community.
Dinner is served over several courses, each chosen with intention. The meal creates a natural opening for memory, reflection, and connection, allowing conversation to unfold gently around the table.

The Gathering Table is for adults who are generally at least six months beyond the death of someone significant and feel ready for gentle group reflection. While some dinners may focus on a particular type of loss, the overall experience welcomes people with a range of bereavement experiences. The six-month guideline does not mean grief should be resolved; it recognizes that the earliest months of loss can be especially acute.
