Connecting Hearts, Expanding Minds, Transforming Communities
Welcome!
The Breaking Bread Village creates spaces, connections, and communities - one conversation at a time. We are rooted in the humanities and cultivate growth through Live Shows, Serving Hope & Breaking Bread, and Speaking & Facilitating Experiences.
Vaccinations: Trust? Test? Truth?
Save the Date:
Join us on Tuesday, August 26, 7:00-9:00 PM at Davenport University in Midland, for the fourth show of our tour. Prepare for a powerful evening filled with thought-provoking dialogue, compelling stories, and meaningful connections as we talk about vaccinations.
Vaccinations have sparked important discussions across communities—about health, choice, science, and trust. What do they mean to you? Are they a matter of belief, proven science, or something in between? Join us for an open and respectful conversation where we explore different perspectives, ask important questions, and seek understanding together. Your voice matters, and we invite you to be part of this dialogue. Let’s listen, learn, and grow—together.
The Live Show Reunion
Reflect & Celebrate with Us
Join us on Tuesday, September 23rd at 6:30 PM at the Midland Center for the Arts for a deeply special Guest Reunion Live Show- a celebratory moment unlike any other we’ve shared before. This experience will be more than a conversation; it will be a homecoming.
A space to honor every courageous guest who sat at The Table and offered their truth with vulnerability and strength. A space to celebrate the community that has walked beside us- showing up with hearts wide open and hands ready to support.
This stop is woven with deep meaning. It marks 5 years of gathering, of listening, of growing together. 5 years of asking hard questions, choosing understanding, and holding space for connection. And now, as we step into this milestone, we do so with awe and gratitude- because we’ll be standing on a stage that once lived only in a dream.

Hear It From Our Guests
Nikita Murray
"Being on the panel of societal expectations was outstanding. It really allowed me to reflect internally on the questions Erin asked along with how we each responded. It is an amazing thing when individuals from all backgrounds, can come together to share a table to talk about topics such as we did.
This work is important because we each have different experiences and stories but we all have had something that has helped empower us to get to where we are today. When we open up this conversation and have a dialogue, we have the opportunity to connect to one another."
Dave Clark
"The topic - Honesty and Transparency - is very broad, but I think we were able to successfully approach it from a variety of perspectives. I enjoyed listening to the other participants interpret those two concepts and share personal insight on being honest with oneself, being transparent with one's motives and living honestly in public and with family.
I felt like I was challenged as a speaker - in a good way - and as a participant. There were a lot of people on the panel, so I wasn't always able to engage on every question, but I didn't leave feeling like didn't have an ample opportunity to voice my thoughts.
I also appreciated the diversity of the panel - many different life experiences and ages were present. I would participate in another discussion or encourage friends to participate. I think Breaking Bread is having a real and positive impact on the Midland community."
