I'm Jhayne

Sunday Suppers was a twice monthly potluck & salon for nourishing bodies, ideas, and community. It ran first in Vancouver, then later, once monthly, in San Francisco, as a deliberate 3rd space where all were welcome. 

The format was simple, but effective: a potluck acted as the baseline, upon which was layered a modern-day revival of the traditional salon. While many evenings were dedicated to open conversation, many others were structured around specific workshops, guest-led teaching, or film screenings that required attendees to engage with complex questions. We also encouraged the invitation of  strangers to help ensure a constant flow of new perspectives.
