We are building a movement of respect, care, and trust through meaningful conversation and artful gathering
In a world that’s distracted, disconnected and divided…connected gathering is an act of resistance!
That’s why we call our work Conversation Activism — an intentional practice where we resist the cultural forces that foster alienation and division embracing values and ways of being that make way for people, communities and organizations to flourish.
Join the Movement!
The BreakBread World movement is about making small shifts in how we have conversation and the way we gather. We believe that these small shifts ripple outward to change the world we live in. There are several ways to get involved.

BreakBread is our flagship process that revolves around the age-old act of breaking bread together bolstered by a simple, meaningful conversation process that helps people appreciate each other and come into deeper attunement with each other — a radical concept in a deeply divided world!

conversation & the art of gathering
because how you gather, sets the stage for the conversation; and the conversations we have weave the web of the world.
