The Art of Gathering: Hosting with Intention

​The best gatherings are about more than what’s on the table, they’re about how people feel when they’re around it. Join The Fount for an evening of inspiration, connection, and fresh ideas to help you uplevel your hosting this holiday season.

​Fount Member Kait Dawson will share thoughtful ways to turn an ordinary gathering with friends or family into something extra special, from intentional details to meaningful points of connection that make guests feel welcomed, celebrated, and connected. And surprise! Kait will lead us through an interactive example together, bringing her ideas to life and giving us inspiration we can take straight into our own gatherings.

​We’ll also hear from a few local experts who can help bring your vision to life! Anastasia of Anastasia’s Florist will share centerpiece inspiration and floral ideas. Jen Anderson, private client advisor and sommelier at fine wine retailer Berry Bros. & Rudd, will pour wines ideal for gifting and share pairing ideas perfect for your holiday table. Local Annapolis Graze Craze will have some charcuteries boards for us to snack on.

​Want to take the inspiration home with you? Our local experts will have order forms available so you can preorder florals, wine, and charcuterie for your upcoming holiday gatherings, making it easy to host beautifully without doing it all yourself.
