July’s BreakBread gathering takes place at Tilda’s Kitchen & Market,
a community-centered café and market in the heart of Midtown Kingston.
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: “How does respect or lack of respect show up in your life? Why does it matter?”
