Book Swap & Potluck: Sharing Books, Food & Community BOOK HERE!!!!

Communities often begin with something simple: people gathering around stories, food and conversation.

Join us for a relaxed morning of books, food and meaningful conversation.

Bring along a book you've loved, whether it's an old favourite or one you're ready to pass on to its next reader.

During the morning, you'll have the chance to swap books, enjoy a shared community potluck, meet new people, and hear stories from people who have found or created community.

We'll also be sharing a community potluck, so if you're able, bring along a plate to share, or, bring along an apetite.

Throughout the gathering, there will be opportunities to hear stories of community and belonging. You'll hear from someone who has helped create a local community group and, if you'd like, you'll be invited to share a story about a place, group or experience where you've found connection.

There'll be plenty of time for conversation, tea, good food and getting to know one another at your own pace.

No pressure to be outgoing. No pressure to know anyone before you arrive.

Just bring a book, something to share if you're able, and yourself.
