The Cottage Table
Bring others to your table and host dinners that make a difference.
Open your table to others and host dinners that make a difference.
Mini Course
We have been hosting The Cottage Table at our home for several years. The blessings of opening your table to others consistently will not only be a blessing to those that gather, but to you!
This is not a supper club or a potluck. These dinners are gifts to those that gather; instilling in them that they have a place. Each one that gathers is marked with belonging, community, and inspiration.
In this mini course you will learn not only the heart behind opening your table to others, but the logistics of hosting consistent dinners around your table- how to spread the word, open for signups, setting up, planning the menu - all the things you need to know to host your own special dinner group. You will also be able to download a guidebook, recipe book, and our favorite playlists.
These dinners will mark you and your community in ways you will not understand, but know!
Instructor
Daune Pitman
Daune Pitman grew up among a family of entrepreneurs, artists, and gatherers in North Carolina. She owned her first business when she was six and created pen and ink drawings of the beach each day after school, and then went door-to-door selling them. Morning walks in the garden, markets, coffee, fresh flowers, books, a beautifully set table, delicious food, faith, family, travel, adventure, great company….these are a few of her favorite things.
Daune and her husband, Keith, are former professional ballet dancers. After spending many years performing professionally in companies nationwide she and Keith have found themselves nestled in a cottage in Eastern NC, where they love to gather people, dream, and launch adventures. After homeschooling their three children, they are new empty nesters.
She believes our homes are our most powerful place of ministry, and with a passion for home, gathering, creativity, and travel, Daune launched The Cottage Table Experience and hosts long table gatherings, live workshops on creative home + hospitality + gathering, and creative retreats abroad and in the U.S. While being very content with where she is, she is homesick for places she has never been, and believes wholeheartedly that we should seize the common occasions and make them great!
