From There to Here: Stories, Cultures, and Journeys That Shape Us

Humanity has always been on the move. From ancient migrations across continents to families crossing oceans in search of a better life, moving to a new land is one of the oldest stories we tell. Yet today, that same story is dividing us. Join us for a deep & interesting conversation, and an opportunity for people to come together, share their own journeys to somewhere new, and truly listen to each other. Here, we'll ask the questions we don't always get to ask, and figure out together what we owe one another as people sharing the same planet. Questions we'll explore: 1. Have you ever packed up and started over somewhere new? What did you leave behind that you still carry in your heart and what ended up surprising you most about where you are now? 2. What is one tradition from your culture that you grew up with and do you still practice it today? 3. What is one thing from your culture that you wish the world knew more about or appreciated? 4. What is one small thing each of us could do to make someone feel more welcome where we live? *IMPORTANT NOTE:* This group is meant for friendly conversation, not for dating or romantic pursuits, so we ask everyone to be respectful of each other's boundaries.😊 Attendance Requirement: All attendees must purchase food or drinks from the cafe to support the local business hosting our event.
