Join us for a feast of ideas and inspiration, with our friends at:
Impact Hub Boston: Geoff Mamlet, Shaina Semiatin and Katie Shultz
along with Justin Kang from Yesware, Inc. and Janice Caillet from iSTARTUP
as together we hold our monthly Feast in the Boston area.


The Feast Worldwide is a massive, roaming dinner party for good that happens one night each month in cities across the globe. Every month we dive into a different theme, exploring the latest ideas and creative solutions to today’s biggest challenges.


For $10 you get a lovely dinner along with an inspiring talk, rich conversation, and a call-to-action. For $20, you get the same - as well as donate that opportunity to someone else, helping us keep an open table so that the ticket price doesn't prevent anyone from joining the feast. For every "Pull Up a Chair" ticket sold, we extend a ticket to someone interested in coming but who might need assistance getting here.


This month we're exploring the theme "Gather."
How do we create "third spaces" in our communities, apart from home and work, where people can gather to organize and develop their community to make their neighborhood the kind of place they want to see? What cultivates vibrant community places that strengthen development (culturally, economically, socially) in our neighborhoods? How does creating a separate space for people to organize allow people to focus on contributing to their communities in ways that aren't happening now?


Donalyn Stephenson will join us this month as our speaker to talk about her work building community spaces, and will invite us to problem-solve together around some of the biggest challenges she sees with growing successful spaces for community involvement. Donalyn Stephenson is President and CEO of FABLabs For America, Inc (FLFA), a social education and community economic development company in Boston that’s building capacity and support for MIT-affiliated community FabLabs. Donalyn and her team have conceptutalized and strategized the DREAM (Democratizing Relevant Education and Access Mandate) Factory— a super FabLab with workforce training and small business support. The Dorchester DREAM Factory will be the pilot for a series of networked of Leader Labs throughout the US to serve as resources for the smaller community FabLabs.
Donalyn lives in Boston where she and her husband of 25 years have four children. She has traveled extensively and enjoys learning, composing and performing music, writing, working with children, FabLabs, good vegetarian food, and good company.


Together, we will break bread (and other goodies). Your ticket price will cover the provided meal, while you'll be expected to bring an open mind to contribute to the discussion and share with the group a commitment (big or small) to follow through after the dinner.


You are also invited to bring bring your own beverages (beer, wine, soda, etc), if you'd like something other than water, tea, or coffee or want to share drinks and conversation between 9:00-9:30 after the formal end of the program.


We'll start gathering at 6:30, and our guest speaker will kick off our dialogue starting at 7:00 pm.
