We create tools, resources, and storytelling content that anyone anywhere can apply and adapt to their own communities. We also offer regular trainings for anyone who wants additional tips on how to translate this into practice, and light-touch one-on-one coaching for folks who need a sounding board or a thought partner as they come up against particular barriers. 

In rarer cases, we do deep partnerships, helping to co-design the engagement and impact strategy  and host the conversations. In those instances, we focus on communities whose problems are a microcosm of a larger story, and that we can use as a learning lab, and a space in which to surface stories with others facing similar challenges.

What we do:

Want to host a supper of your own? No need to wait on us. We have various toolkits and materials available for free download. Click here. 

We offer regular trainings on how to host a racial justice series in your community. Click here to register. 

Planning a large event, and want to talk about something more interesting than the weather and your business cards? Watch this one-hour webinar, with everything you need to know to host what we affectionately call a Big Ole’ Supper. 

Finally, we offer table host trainings for those looking to facilitate a table of their own, whether over dinner with neighbors, or as part of a larger event.

Any of the trainings above can be adapted to the needs of your particular community, and event flow. Want to learn more? Email us at info@thepeoplessupper.org.

We’ve worked with pastors looking to deepen relationships within their congregations, and faith leaders who wish to connect across religious lines. We’ve worked with teachers and staff  at local schools, looking to bring together students, parents, teachers, alumni, and administrative and custodial staff: folks who walk the same hallways, but know little of each other’s stories. We’ve worked with librarians and conference organizers who want to spark conversations that go beyond the weather and our business cards. We’ve worked helped folks bring together local firefighters, police officers, social workers, and civil servants, to get to know each other more deeply as people. We’ve worked to create healing spaces among people in caring professions, depleted by constantly having to be “on,” and mistrustful of one another despite working toward a common end. And we’ve worked with ordinary people, who simply want to get to know their neighbors.

Just as no two people are exactly alike, no two communities are exactly alike. We work to tailor the experience to the unique contours of the organizations and communities and individuals with whom we work, whether via a one-time supper, or a supper series. We focus on a single question: What needs healing here? 

We’ll help you think through your guest-list and goals, and how to get there: Who’s not in relationship and should be? Whose voices go unheard, and why? What’s getting in the way of the civic work you need to do together, and where could your community use a little more trust? What are the conversations here that feel taboo or otherwise polarizing? What might you have to offer other communities across the country, as an example for others seeking to build trust? Can those goals be realized in one night, or will they require time?
