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.
