Communion of the Kindred

This High Desert Supper is Reimagining How We Gather

In a world of noise, Communion of the Kindred offers a return to what matters: food, presence, and shared human rhythm.

Hosted by local herbalist and artist Tracy Jones, this seasonal supper takes place outdoors in the high desert, where guests share a plant-based five-course meal around a single, intentionally set table. The experience invites conversation, connection, and a deeper relationship with the land and one another — all without distraction.

The ingredients are seasonal and wild, the elixirs handcrafted, and the pace spacious. It’s less of an event, more of a practice: an uncluttered space to be fed and seen.

A seasonal, plant-based supper experience held outdoors in the high desert near Bend, Oregon.

Communion of the Kindred is a curated group dining experience rooted in connection, nourishment, and presence. Each gathering brings together a small number of guests to share a slow, five-course, vegan meal prepared with seasonal, wild, and local ingredients.

Set in an uncluttered natural space — a meadow, a grove, a clearing — the table becomes a place of reconnection: to land, to food, to self, and to others. Herbal elixirs accompany the meal, crafted from native plants and poured with care.

The atmosphere is unhurried, warm, and real — with room for story, laughter, and the kind of conversation that only happens when people feel safe and fully seen.

This is more than a meal. It’s a practice in relating — to the earth and to each other.
