GATHERING TABLES
Grassroot Conversations---- Parallel Economy
Mission Statement
Our goal is to invite others to small gatherings around tables in our neighborhoods for conversations that open opportunities for connection with others. Our conversations often pertain to topics of interest around growing a resilient, local, parallel economy related to skills, goods, services, talents and knowledge.
Our intention is not to organize run a group or membership, but to simply acknowledge the value of each sovereign family unit and be mutually inspired, sharing and learning from one another. Our gatherings are not intended to be a platform to “sell” anything. We also want to encourage others to gather at their own tables, with small groups of friends, in conversations that organically develop and strengthen environments of mutual trust.
We recognize the changing and uncertain times. We believe that our brainstorming sessions can offer insights to navigate the road ahead. At the least, we hope that our gathering together in conversations, at tables, in texts/email and/or on the phone, will grow circles of friendship.
