Across This Table

Across This Table is an annual gathering that brings Harvard students, faculty, and staff together for an unforgettable evening of storytelling, music, shared food, and meaningful connection across religious, spiritual, and ethical traditions.

Gathered around shared tables, students, faculty, and staff from across Harvard come together for a communal dinner designed to break down silos, spark conversation, deepen belonging, and invite reflection. The evening features storytellers from a range of traditions, performances from Harvard’s religious and spiritual communities, and guided conversation that helps participants listen, share, and encounter one another with curiosity and care.

Whether you come to listen, to connect, to share your story, or simply to be present, Across This Table invites you to experience what becomes possible when people gather across lines of difference with openness and mutual respect.

Take your seat at the table. Share your story. Leave with a fuller sense of belonging.

Last year, we received more than 300 registrations for just 180 available seats, and we anticipate the event filling quickly again this year. To make the registration process as fair as possible, we are moving to a lottery model. Please register to indicate your interest in attending.
