The Gentle Feast: A Virtual Friendsgiving

Welcome to The Gentle Feast... a calm, cozy Friendsgiving for anyone who wants warmth, connection, and rest without the chaos of a big crowd.

You don’t have to be neurodivergent, introverted, or socially anxious to join... just someone who appreciates a peaceful evening of good food and kind company.

This isn’t a performance of gratitude or a structured dinner. It’s a quiet gathering of people sharing space, stories, and comfort from home. Cameras are optional, talking is optional, being human is enough.

Quiet time welcome: Want to hang out without chatting? Totally fine. Keep your mic muted, listen in, or just enjoy the background company while you eat or relax.

What We’ll Do:
5pm–5:15pm (EST)
Settle in and say hello (if you want!). You can share your name, what’s on your plate, or just wave hello from your cozy corner.

5:15– 5:45
Eating Time
We’ll eat together, chat softly, or enjoy companionable silence.

5:45 – 6:30 PM
Gentle Gratitude & Micro-Wins
Share one small thing that brought you comfort this year... or simply listen and reflect.

6:30 – 7:00 PM
Cozy Games & Vibes
Optional group activities like Pictionary, pet cameos, or collaborative playlist building. Stay and play, or just vibe to the music and wind down your evening.
