Overview of this event
What happens when we put down our phones, sit down with people we might not normally meet, share a meal and actually talk?
Welcome to The Common Table.
The Common Table is a new Northern Rivers dining and conversation experience created to bring people together over good food, thoughtful questions and the kind of conversations that seem to happen far less often than they used to.
The first event will be partnering with Saltbush Bar & Grill, who will host for an evening built around one of the most universal ideas there is: A Place to Call Home.
Expect great food, warm hospitality and real conversation.
The evening will be guided, the theme introduced and you will be given everything you need to get started. The conversation happens around the table, supported by Common Table question cards and a few simple table manners: listen deeply, stay curious, make room for others and disagree without being disagreeable.
You may arrive with friends, with a partner or entirely on your own.
In fact, coming alone is very much encouraged.
This isn't networking.
It isn't speed dating.
It isn't a seminar.
And it definitely isn't a political forum.
Politics is left at the door and invite good vibes in.
