In times of heightened tension, division, and expressions of hate, faith, spiritual and secular communities have a vital role to play in being stewards of resilience, collective courage, and creating braver space in the presence of difference. Meals of Meaning provide an opportunity for students to come together for a virtual dinner conversation (meal provided) and the chance to go beneath the surface, lean into vulnerability and to explore the struggles and stories that make up our lives. Sign up for a day/time that works for you.


Unless otherwise noted, all meals are open to any student. If you are unable to pick-up a meal for any reason, but would still like to participate in the discussion, please simply note "No Meal" in the question section.
