How Do We Cultivate Conversations That Nourish Our Relationships & Communities?
Not just conversation—but connection. Not just gathering—but transformation.
In a time when so much feels divided, surface-level, or transactional, how do we shape conversations and create spaces in our communities where people feel safe to be honest, curious, and fully human?
Join us for a day-long immersive workshop…
that uncovers the deeper purpose and practice behind BreakBread. We’ll introduce you to the basic concepts of Conversation Alchemy, the Art of Gathering, and more importantly, we’ll explore what it means for you to imagine and create a gathering where meaningful conversation is stewarded into our distracted and agitated world with intention, purpose, and play.
This event costs $169.00 ($154 Early Bird before October 26) and includes a BreakBread World Conversation Card Deck ($30 value).
BreakBread World is leading the “Conversation Activism” movement…
where shifts in the conversation spark the respect, care, and trust needed to build artful and inspired community.
This workshop is about more than hosting a meal.
It’s about learning how to hold space—for others, for complexity, for connection that heals rather than divides.
In This Workshop, You Will:
- Learn how to create brave, gracious spaces where people feel seen and heard
- Explore the hidden barriers to connection—and how to move through them
- Practice the art of gathering and conversation as a tool for community-building and culture-shifting
- Design your own BreakBread gathering rooted in purpose, care, and clarity
