A simple wooden garden table helped banish loneliness and started a movement that has reached around the globe.
Kristen had four young children and found herself spending most of her time taking her children from one place to another.
Even though she was busy she found herself to be lonely.
Then one day she went out brought a table, painted it turquoise and set it up in her garden.
The intention was to be welcoming to anyone who wanted to join her friends, neighbours or whoever was passing by.
Kristen discusses how she came up with the idea of the Turquoise Table and how it helped people connect with each other.
After people had joined Kristen, they went out and got their own table and the idea of having a safe place to connect grew.
But as Kristen points out in this podcast you don’t need a physical table.
It’s all about opening up and letting people in and taking the opportunity to connect with each other.
