An infectiously heartening and hopeful touring panel discussion celebrating the art of welcome in different cultures.
We will gather to listen to stories and learn about customs and rituals of hospitality from different communities. This is a reminder of the system that humans in every corner of the earth have created for welcoming strangers. Followed by SNACKS! Pure joy.
