Gatherings 2027
Kia ora! Following the warmth, connections, and vulnerability shared by 230+ of us at our first gathering in Auckland in June 2026, we are excited to look ahead to what's coming next across Aotearoa.
Auckland National Gathering 2027
📅 Friday 21st & Saturday 22nd May 2027
We are officially planning our next major national gathering! A two-day gathering dedicated to honest dialogue, deep connection, and progressive faith spaces.
Whether you joined us for our first event or missed out, we would love to have you around the table. Save the dates on your calendar—details on the venue, registration, and workshop proposals will be released in the coming months.
Exploring Regional Gatherings
We know that travelling to Auckland is a big commitment, and we want to help foster local, safe, and progressive faith spaces right across Aotearoa. We are currently exploring the possibility of holding regional gatherings in:
- Wellington
- Christchurch
- Taranaki
Want to Help Build the Table?
To make Auckland 2027 and these regional gatherings a reality, we need local hands, hearts, and minds. If you want to see this community grow in your area and are interested in helping out, please reach out and let us know:
- Your location: Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Taranaki, or elsewhere!
- How you'd like to help: Event planning, hosting/hospitality, facilitation, tech/AV, music, admin, or general volunteering on the day.
Even if you simply want to express interest in helping shape what a local hub could look like, we would love to hear from you.
Pass It On: Help Us Grow
Word of mouth is how the Open Table community grows. If you have friends, family, or colleagues navigating the edges of faith who would value an inclusive space for thoughtful conversation and honest doubt, please consider sharing this page with them.
