WALTER'S TABLE
Our Regional Emmy-Winning short film on the power of the table
There’s nothing quite more powerful than noticing the people around us. Not wanting him to feel alone, a little girl dreams up an extravangant way to invite him to a long table – a table he unknowingly helped build.
HENRI NOUWEN
“Hospitality means primarily the creation of free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend instead of an enemy. Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place. It is not to bring men and women over to our side, but to offer freedom not disturbed by dividing lines.”
IT STARTED WITH
A TABLE
Ten years ago, we were invited to a 'table.' We were promised a dinner with people from all walks of life.
We showed up and discovered an 80-foot table. With 80 people from across the city.
On that autumn evening, we tasted something so rare and beautiful - the power of the table - the most equitable and humanizing place on the planet.
THE TABLE REPRESENTS THE WORK OF CONNECTION AND BELONGING
From what we learned from ten years of setting tables, we now help companies, organizations and communities leverage those principles and paradigms to create richer, deeper and more authentic cultures where people feel seen, connected and like they belong.
AND WHEN WE BELONG -
WE THRIVE.
OUR CONNECTORS
These people love connecting people. They represent different stories, but they all share a passion to create a world where everyone feels invited to life.
