Small, intimate gatherings were neighbors and friends of all religions (or no particular religion) can come together to share their favorite prayers, poetry, scriptures or music with each other. These meetings provide an opportunity for people from diverse religious, cultural or ethnic backgrounds to learn from and about each other, and allow the residents of a neighborhood to connect on a spiritual level. This in turn helps to create a true sense of community, something that most people desire but have not been able to bring about in their neighborhood.
