PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
Welcome:
Hospitality is the act of opening your home to others. Let yours be a place to share comforts, thoughts, successes, challenges, and even the simple fun of friendship through the art of hospitality.
Connect:
Always waiting for “some time” or “someday” to reconnect or share a moment with someone you care about? Worrying or stressing to find the perfect time or perfect place to get together? Afraid to entertain like an adult? Longing for some
good friends and meaningful conversation? Hoping to get to know someone new without the uncomfortable distractions of restaurant noise, cell phones, and interruptions? Have you ever considered your own home as the perfect place or getway for others to enjoy?
Courage:
Entertaining in one’s home and extending hospitality to others doesn’t have to be daunting and stressful. None of us is a
perfect host nor has the perfect home or at least one that looks perfect all the time. (What do you think closets and all
that space under the bed are for!)
Share:
It is the gesture of sharing and desire to connect that makes hospitality so gracious and rewarding. Hospitality is a gift to both the guest and the host. Weather others are invited into a home for breakfast, a light lunch, tea, a cocktail party, a game of cards, “the big game” or a movie, hospitality is a welcome gesture. This is the Art of Intentional Living.
Hospitality knows no gender! This program is appropriate for anyone who wants to create or enjoy opportunities for meaningful and pleasant entertaining in a home.
