About the speaker

Join us for a deeply connective and one-of-a-kind gathering in collaboration with The Jar.

The Jar began as a simple but radical question: What happens when people are invited to skip the small talk and go deep, fast, with others who are both like them and not like them? The answer has surprised thousands.

Over the course of the morning, you’ll be immersed in a powerful story about a painting, and then invited into conversation around the themes it stirs. You’ll gather in small groups of strangers. You’ll answer thoughtfully crafted provocations. You’ll rotate three times. Each round, new faces. New perspectives. New connections.

Participants leave The Jar with new friendships, unexpected understanding across difference, reduced polarization, and something increasingly rare: hope.

Expect laughter. Surprise. Humanity. The kind of humor that emerges when strangers become real to one another.
If you’re curious what it feels like, take 54 seconds for a front-row seat.

Come ready to listen. Come ready to share. Come ready to leave connected.
