Our Roots: Where Do We Belong?
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.
On origins, heritage, and the many places we call home
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, or fragmented identities? Where do we belong then?
At this Shared Table Dinner, we’ll explore questions of heritage and home—what grounds us, what we’ve inherited, and what we’ve made our own.
You are warmly invited to bring a dish from your culture or family traditions, if you like, to share your roots with the table, too.
🍎 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 and covers basic costs (no profit)
10 € → helps us cover material costs and give a little back
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!
