What is Celebration of the Good?

Celebration of the Good is an experiment in entertainment, a new way to pass the time with strangers and friends. It is an introduction to amazing things, people, places, events, a way to celebrate beauty and truth. It can be also be part of our lifelong learning pathway, and a way to cultivate relationship with friends and strangers.

Join us for evening gatherings to read or perform any thoughtful, inspiring works of any kind. We will also have time for reflection and we will have free snacks! They can take place in any public venue, or at the homes of participants.
