The Gatherers - Community and Commonality Finding Common Ground in Uncommon Space
A virtual coffee shop and tearoom, a third place and safe space for casual conversation and community. In an anthropological context, early humans shared resources and survival depended on trust, reciprocity, and constant communication. It was about sharing stories, teaching, and creating meaning together. Inspired by: "The Great Good Place", "Bowling Alone", and Dr. Vivek Murthy's 2023 report, "Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation", it's for the gatherers among us, who crave meaningful connection and community. Come with curiosity and courage to find common ground.
Episodes
Third places are where we practice belonging—by being in community with people who are not like us.
It’s not just about comfort; it’s about connection that stretches us gently beyond ourselves.
Belonging isn’t about finding people who are exactly like us—it’s about finding spaces where we can bring our full selves and still be welcomed.
That’s what I hope Gatherers can be—a table big enough for everyone.
Welcome to Resistance Cafe! My virtual third place.
What's a third place, you ask? Join me and find out.
They teach small "d" democracy skills that make us better communicators, better listeners, negotiators, neighbors, and connect us to the basic needs of others.
And ourselves.
They’re training grounds for participation—people who feel connected locally are more likely to vote, volunteer, and solve problems together.
