Climate chaos, community division, burnout, disconnection … it’s all real. But so is our ability to meet each other with care, and move forward together.

We can’t afford to stay siloed. This moment asks us to show up collectively. Bring your curiosity, your fears, your knowledge, your questions, and a dish to share. Come for one session or stay the whole day. Expect conversations big and small, facilitated dialogue, unstructured time and space to connect, plus food breaks that feed both belly and soul.

After a day of dialogue, conversations, and action, recuperate together with a shared meal. Sit with your fellow community members to debrief, foster new connections, or simply eat together.

We are also celebrating our friend Stewart Alsgard’s 90th birthday.

Stewart exemplifies integrity-driven leadership during a time in which it is so desperately needed. His legacy is evidence that action rooted in humility, respect for place, and with backbone is what shapes a better future for the generations to come. Join us in recognizing the power of his kind of public service, brave solidarity, and personal commitment to dialogue.

Keep the energy flowing at The Party with Purpose, where ideas meet good food, cold drinks, and music.

Come wind down with friends old and new. This is your chance to debrief, share reflections, and celebrate the magic that happens when people come together who care about the place we all share.

No speeches. Just great company, local vibes, and a chance to dance, laugh, and toast to what’s possible.
