Events that Matter: A Spirit & Place Toolkit
Since 1996, Spirit & Place has worked with the community to host
the annual Spirit & Place Festival and other events. Our mission is
to catalyze civic engagement through the power of the arts,
humanities, and religion, all the while building the capacity
of others.

That “building capacity” part is one of the most satisfying aspects of
our work. It is a big part of our WHY. Dreaming big and working with
others to make something magical happen for the public is our love
language. Creating opportunities that bring diverse groups of people
together to share ideas, emotions, and experiences is powerful and
important work. Especially in a pluralistic society in which far too
many people feel isolated, and loneliness is a growing epidemic.

Celebrating our 30th year, we are delighted to share lessons we have
learned and tools we have developed on how to best design and
execute events in Events That Matter: A Spirit & Place Toolkit.
