🌸 Welcome to The Gathering Grounds
Food. Fellowship. Family.
The Heartbeat of the Village Lives Here.
Every family needs a village.
A place where families come together, share stories, laugh over meals, and remember that we’re stronger side by side.
The Gathering Grounds is that place...the community square of the village where food, fellowship, and fun bring families back to each other.
Whether it’s grabbing a meal, joining a circle by the Lotus Pond, or watching kids play together in the plaza, this is where connections are made and strengthened.
Families today are more isolated than ever
eating apart, living in separate worlds, and trying to carry burdens alone.
Without connection, kids lose cultural grounding,
parents lose support, and families risk forgetting what it feels like to belong.
At The Gathering Grounds, families rediscover the power of community. Through meals, service projects, cultural celebrations, and play, every visit reminds you that your family is never alone — you’re part of something bigger.
What happens here:
Family Meals & Fellowship → Tables where families share food, gratitude, and connection.
Lotus Pond Wisdom Circles → Storytelling, coaching, and Adventures in Wisdom sessions by the pond.
Play & Games → Kids learn connection through double dutch, hand games, and cooperative play.
Village Festivals → Seasonal challenges and celebrations (Juneteenth, Back to School, Kwanzaa) that bring the whole community together.
Why families love it:
Parents gain a supportive community that feels like home.
Kids connect through play, culture, and shared traditions.
Families strengthen relationships with each other and the village.
The Gathering Grounds becomes the place where legacy is celebrated out loud.
