Gather Around Our Common Table to Love Anyway

Do you wish you had a way to process the emotional complexity that we’re living through? Are you dreading the holidays because not everyone invited to your table sees eye to eye? Do you need a game plan for having difficult conversations? 

You’ve come to the right place.

We’re inviting you to be a part of our next  Love Anyway Feast, an opportunity to ignite hope and heal over a shared meal. As plates are passed, people give of themselves, sharing their stories as they fill up on great food. Curiosity fuels connections, helping us create a new community of friends to enrich our perspectives.

From November 16 to December 10, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in guided conversations, explore different viewpoints, and have fun over an amazing meal. Our conversation starters make it easy. Then, the next time you face a difficult conversation, you will feel equipped to reach a shared understanding built on empathy and active listening. If you’re new to our community of peacebuilders, or you’re a longtime supporter, we’ll connect you to a Love Anyway Feast taking place in your zip code, if possible. 

The solidarity of holding Love Anyway Feasts over the same weekend reminds us that we are not alone, that we belong to each other. If you take photos or videos of your Love Anyway Feast, please tag us at #loveanyway or send them to our email: cgusa@sfcg.org to be featured on our Instagram.

Hosting a Love Anyway Feast is as easy as attending one. When you sign up to be a host, you will receive a tool kit and a step-by-step planning guide, including who to invite and how to invite them, how to plan your dinner, icebreakers, a self-reflection card deck, a cool Spotify list, and much more. A week before your Love Anyway Feast, we’ll host a webinar to answer all your last-minute questions.

Gather around a common table to celebrate the diversity of our experiences through a shared feast. Sign up today to host a Love Anyway Feast. Want to participate but not host? We’ll try to connect you to a feast in your area. Undecided? Click on the box below to learn more.
