Village Coffee is opening its doors for a BreakBread Dinner on Tuesday, August 25th @ 6PM
As Kingston residents, Village has been a home for us and our BreakBread World card deck! Experience the magic of BreakBread with the cofounders.
BreakBread is a quiet oasis where you show up as you are…
to listen, share, laugh, and connect.
Each gathering revolves around a carefully crafted prompt that cuts through small talk. Every gathering is different and every conversation unique as we open unexpected inspiration and connection that linger long after dinner is done.
What to expect
We begin together as a full group, then move into intimate tables of 6–7 people for a meaningful conversation and delicious food.
The prompt for this gathering is: “When was a time when you changed your mind and it changed your life?”
