BreakBread World

If you want to change a relationship, change the conversation.

Conversation is everywhere. It's how we connect, collaborate, navigate differences, and shape our relationships.

And every relationship has its patterns—the things we say, the things we don't say, the ways we listen, react, withdraw, or lean in.

But those patterns aren't fixed.

At the heart of BreakBread is **Conversation Alchemy**—the deeper practice of bringing more presence, curiosity, and agency to our conversations so we can shift familiar dynamics and create new possibilities for connection.

Join us for a lively, hands-on workshop where we'll explore the art of going deeper, listening differently, and becoming more conscious participants in the relationships we co-create.

✨ **CONVERSATION ALCHEMY WORKSHOP**

📅 Saturday, October 24 | 12–6 PM
📍 ASK, Kingston, NY

**Early bird pricing ends Thursday, October 15!**

Come practice with us!

A little glimpse of BreakBread at ✨

Five people to a table. One shared prompt "When was a time that you changed. your mind and it changed your life?" A meal by Murdock (yum). And the invitation to slow down, listen deeply, get curious, and see where the conversation takes us.

There’s something powerful about sitting down with people you may not know—or may think you know—and making space for a different kind of conversation.

This is what we’re practicing at BreakBread: not perfect conversation, but the art of being together. Staying curious. Moving beyond our usual ways of relating. Making room for surprise, difference, laughter, discomfort, connection—and each other.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to for welcoming us to the table. ❤️

We’re just getting started.

**Let's begin the Awakening Festival around a table, before the music fills us with total inspiration.**

Join BreakBread on **Friday, August 14** at **Bearsville Theater** for the Opening Night Community Dinner of the Awakening Festival. Together, we'll share a meal (make sure to bring a dish), have a conversation around the theme of "awakening", and remember what becomes possible when strangers take the time to truly listen to one another.

Then, return the following evening as **Krishna Das'** takes the stage for a powerful night of kirtan and devotion. It's a beautiful way to begin a weekend centered on connection—first through conversation, then through music.

✨ Come hungry—for dinner, for community, and for the unexpected conversations that stay with you long after the evening ends.

What if the most important thing you did this month was sit down with neighbors and fellow villager?

Join us for an evening of good food, meaningful conversation, and genuine connection at **BreakBread at Tilda's**.

In a world that often moves too fast and keeps us in our own circles, BreakBread offers something different: a chance to slow down, share a meal, and discover what becomes possible when we listen with curiosity.

Whether you come with a friend or on your own, you'll leave having shared a meal—and likely a few unexpected moments—with people you may never have met otherwise.

📍 Tilda's
📅 Wednesday, July 22
🕕 Doors open at 6:00 PM

Seats are limited, so reserve your place today.

Come hungry—for food, for connection, and for the kind of conversations that remind us we're more alike than we think.

In a world that profits from disconnection, choosing connection is an act of resistance.

Conversation Activism is the practice of meeting each other with awareness, play, compassion, and courage - creating space for people and communities to flourish together.
