Hosted by Wayland Post\, the event invites families\, kids\, and older adults alike to come together for a casual\, social experience built around shared tables\, simple entertainment\, and a welcoming atmosphere. \nThe concept is straightforward: no cooking\, no pressure\, just show up and enjoy. Pizza\, popcorn\, drinks\, and a mix of beer and wine are available\, creating a laid-back “Sunday reset” where people can unwind\, connect\, and spend time with friends or meet new ones. \nAt its core\, the event is social first and structured second. Bingo provides the anchor activity\, easy to jump into\, familiar to all ages\, and naturally interactive\, but the real focus is on the shared experience around the tables. Groups can come as friends\, families\, or teams\, with a light competitive element through table-based play and prizes that keeps the energy up without making it intense. \nThe tone is intentionally modern and inclusive: bright\, casual\, and community-driven rather than formal or traditional. It draws on the long-standing appeal of local bingo nights\, historically successful in Wayland as sold-out\, family-centered gatherings with food\, prizes\, and volunteer-driven energy but updates it into a more flexible\, social format that works just as well for parents\, kids\, and older residents. \nHeld in the early afternoon\, the timing reinforces the goal: an easy Sunday plan. Come for pizza\, stay for the company.

Together\, we’ll practice how to show up with curiosity and self-awareness\, even when conversations feel uncomfortable or perspectives don’t align. \njamele adams\, an educator\, facilitator\, and community peacemaker\, will lead four in-person sessions where participants can practice empathetic listening\, learn from one another\, and build trust and connection. Together\, participants will choose the discussion topic for each session. \nBy the end\, you’ll have concrete tools to engage across differences—face-to-face and online. You’ll leave better equipped to navigate difficult conversations without losing connection. No matter who you are or where you’re coming from\, this workshop is a welcoming space to learn\, reflect\, and grow together—and to help make the Wayland community stronger. \nThe program will be held at First Parish\, 225 Boston Post Road\, Wayland. \nSponsored by the Wayland Public Schools and the Wayland Human Rights\, Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion Committee (HRDEIC)\, and made possible through the generous support of the Lydia Maria Child Fund of First Parish in Wayland.
