We’re partnering with One Barrel Brewing Event Space to offer a free brunch and class series! Each month we will invite different speakers to give a short presentation on topics that often seem simple, but can be confusing.

This is a great event to network and learn more about GatherX members who live in your community. We also welcome all suggestions on topics that are important to you, or things you’d like to learn about in the future!

Adulting is hard, brunch is easy. So, gather with us as we share brunch together and cover a new adulting 101 topic each month… Because life doesn’t come with instructions.

Free brunch, cash bar. Donations appreciated, but not required!

First Thursdays X Picnic Point is a monthly gathering to get outside, connect, and dive into a purposeful topic.

We’ll get the fire started and bring the s’mores fixings. All you have to do is show up. No fire or s’mores for a bit — but we’d love for you to  light a candle or your own fire in your backyard with us! We’re excited to chat about mindfulness together!

May’s Topic: Discovery

May’s Non-profit: Monroe Street Arts Center

Exploring the world around us and understanding who we are and what matters to us always begins with discovery.

We understand that stories are the way in which we understand ourselves and our purpose, so we are called to gather as a community to share, listen, learn, and belong. The Gathering is a quarterly storytelling series hosted by GatherX. We partner with a non-profit for each event, focus on a theme related to the non-profit partner, and gather stories around that theme. And while our storytellers are local young adults, this particular GatherX event is open to all.

$10 Admission. All proceeds benefit Monroe Street Arts Center.
