Theme: PERMISSION
This events theme is centered around permission.
Permission to be our authentic selves! We all have a story of how we gave ourselves permission to be authentically us.
Perhaps we were given permission by someone else, or gave permission to someone and said it’s OK for you to be you. Perhaps you’re still on this journey of self discovery. Come as you are, and tell your story and listen to the story of others, and know that we are not so different.

How it works:
We gather around a table and break bread through this potluck style gathering
The host will welcome everyone and frame the topic/theme of the evening
Each guest will give a toast devoted to the theme at some point during the evening
As a special twist — providing a strong incentive for keeping the round of toasts moving — the last one must sing his or her toast
This adds an element of playfulness that shifts the gathering from formal to informal. A safe place, in the company of 15 wonderful humans.
This one will be a park picnic since it’s so lovely outside. Always looking for other venues to host 15 people around a table.
