Let’s Use Food to Gather Us More Often in 2025
Open Seat Collective
We are Open Seat Colletive—a movement to bring people together through shared meals and meaningful connections. We believe that true community is built around the table, where stories are shared, relationships are deepened, and unity is cultivated.
Open Seat Collective is inspired by “Recipes for Connection,” a booklet published by U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy that offers a wide range of easy ideas and tips for gatherings over food. No matter your style of get-together – small to large, brief to long, intergenerational, accessible – this booklet is designed to help all of us build the confidence to connect.
