Out beyond the ideas wrong doing and right doing there is a table, named after an old woman from ancient Italian folklore known for delivering children gifts every Epiphany Eve, I’ll meet you there.

Our Story
During the isolation of the pandemic, I wandered the streets of Harlem with a puppet of Italy’s legendary La Befana, seeking to spark joyful connections in a turbulent time. As I animated the La Befana puppet, I brought strangers and myself into moments of encounter-bridging the space between self and other. This experience awakened in me a sense of deep belonging, rooted in the realization that I was part of a Living Legend. Today, I bring the lessons learned on the streets of Harlem into my work at La Befana’s Table, where I gather folks from all walks of life to explore what it means to participate fully in life through curious conversations, storytelling, service, & celebration. To learn more about my journey you can watch my Speaker Salon talk where I share the origin story of La Befana’s Table.
