Palaver Strings invites our audience and representatives from some of Portland’s integral arts and wellness organizations to join us for an evening of facilitated conversation by the incredible Krystal Williams, delicious food and drink, and music at Thompson Point’s iconic Halo at the Point.

As we all navigate a divided world, Palaver Strings aims to shift focus toward working within our local community. This event provides an opportunity to learn how to deeply listen to one another, fostering the qualities of being a good neighbor.

This gathering is designed to encourage reflection on the essential elements of a thriving community. By coming together, we hope to explore what actions we can take to manifest a shared, safe, creative, and healthy home for everyone. 

we can’t wait to see you there
