Where Are You From — and Whom? On Home, Roots & Belonging
Shared Table Dinners—where we meet around food and questions. Everyone brings something to the potluck: a dish, a thought, a feeling, a view—and that’s already plenty.
We carry our roots in our food, our language, our stories, and the ways we gather. But what happens when our roots stretch across cultures, geographies, and identities? Where do we belong then?
At this Shared Table Dinner, we’ll explore what “home” means — not just as a place, but as a feeling. What grounds us? What have we inherited? And what have we made our own along the way?
To make the evening even more special, bring a dish that represents home to you — something from your culture, your childhood, or a flavor that makes you feel rooted. Together, we’ll share stories and tastes from the many places we come from and belong to.
🍎 How It Works
We ask that you bring something small and easy to share to keep it simple, tasty, and low-waste. You could bring a spread, a salad, raw veggies for a platter, a leftover that’s still delicious, or something sweet 🍫. Homemade or store-bought, all welcome.
This is an alcohol-free, vegetarian dinner — we’ll have tea and water to share.
Come by yourself, with a friend, or someone you only recently met!
Pay What You Can 🌟
We want this dinner to be accessible, so we’ve set a sliding scale you can choose from:
7 € → keeps it affordable for all
10 € → helps us cover basic costs
15 € → supports the work the facilitator(s), and sustains the space for future gatherings
Pay what feels right for you—and know that every contribution makes these Shared Tables possible for the community!
