At a Curious Krewe gathering, we’re all about building real friendships and diving into life’s big (and small) questions with people who see the world differently.

At this gathering, we’re getting curious about how we define success for ourselves. Is it a title? A paycheck? A feeling? A peaceful morning with coffee and no unread emails? Or something else altogether?

Like we do every gathering, we'll break into smaller groups, with one person sharing their own evolving ideas of success. What it used to mean, what it means now, and what it might mean in the future. When they finish sharing their reflections on the question, the group will open up the conversation with curious questions and thoughtful dialogue. As always, it’s not about responding or debating, but more about wondering together and creating a space where new insights can emerge through genuine, curious conversation. Everyone gets a chance to offer their perspective, but there is no pressure to share. Just come ready to listen, laugh, and maybe ask yourself a few questions.

Success isn’t one-size-fits-all. It shifts. It softens. It surprises us. And sometimes, rethinking it is the most successful thing we can do.

Food? Yes!!! (Barbekyu)
Drink? Yes!!! (Menu)
Judgment? Nope!!!!
Curious and honest people? Absolutely!!!!

If all this piques your CURIOSITY, then you belong in the Curious Krewe!

***

This is how a typical CK Gathering looks:

• We begin gathering at 6 pm to allow folks to get drinks, food, and settle in.

• At 6:30 pm, we start our discussions.

• We wrap up discussions a little before 8 pm and share a few parting words and details on the next gathering.

• If you wish to continue your conversation or start a whole new one, everyone is free to stay as long as they wish.

Location: Second Line Brewing (433 N. Bernadotte St.)

Time: We plan to meet the fourth Thursday of every month from 6-8pm unless otherwise noted.

In partnership with Mt. Zion United Methodist Church, Rayne United Methodist Church, Munholland United Methodist Church, and St. Andrews Episcopal Church, we are caring for and working with folks in the Central City area who are experiencing housing, food, and clothing insecurity. Every Tuesday at 2pm, we offer a healthy meal, gently used clothing, a voucher for housing at the Salvation Army, and plenty of love, support, and community.

Feel free to stop by and drop off donations and/or chat with our guests!

Details: every Tuesday, 1:30-3pm at Mount Zion UMC (2700 Louisiana Ave.)

On the third Thursday on the Eastbank, foster families gather for an evening of warmth, connection, and care. These nights are called "Fostering the Families," they exist for one simple but powerful reason: the people who open their homes to foster children deserve spaces where they are cared for, too.

Fostering children is a beautiful and life-changing act of love—but it's also incredibly hard. That's why "Fostering the Families" was created. A space where those who care for foster children can be cared for themselves. Here, foster parents can share struggles, swap stories, and find strength in community. Because the best way to nurture children is to make sure the adults who love them are supported, too.

You can be part of this effort by investing financially, joining the food prep team, or becoming part of the hospitality crew that shows up each month to serve, smile, and make it all feel like home. We've all heard the old saying, "It takes a village to raise a child", and "Fostering the Families" is how we can turn words into action and show these families that they're not alone, are seen, appreciated, and loved.

Details: every 3rd Thursday of the month, 6-7:30pm at Munholland Methodist (1201 Metairie Rd.)

Every first and third Wednesdays beginning at 12pm, we will gather around a table to share in a meal and engage in soulful conversations in community that comfort and challenge us.

To guide our conversation:

What’s your “Rose”? (Beautiful and Joyful)

What’s your “Thorn”? (Challenging and Stressful)

What’s your “Bud”? (Future Hope)

Our hope is that you will come away with more than a full belly, but a full soul.

Let’s be honest: showing up to something new can feel a little...weird. So before we dive into the deep questions and group wonderings, we’re hitting pause… and pressing play on something a little more casual.

Join us Monday, June 9th at Second Line Brewery in New Orleans for our very first Curious Krewe Meet & Greet. A low-key, judgment-free, curiosity-friendly gathering where you can meet other kindhearted, question-asking humans who are just as curious as you are.

No big topics. No agenda. Just faces, names, good beverages, and the kind of conversation that starts with “Wait, you love that too?”

🍻 Come early, stay late, or just swing by and say hi.
🌮 There’ll be food on-site, so grab a bite and pull up a seat.
💬 We’ll be hanging out, sharing stories, wondering out loud, and getting to know the amazing folks who make this group what it is.

Whether you’re brand new or already deep in the Krewe, this is a perfect chance to:
🌀 Connect with other curious souls
🌀 Ask questions about what Curious Krewe is all about
🌀 Share what you’re curious about
🌀 Come as you are and leave a little more connected

If this piques your curiosity, then you belong in the Curious Krewe!

On the first Thursday on the Westbank, foster families gather for an evening of warmth, connection, and care.

At a Curious Krewe gathering, we’re all about building real friendships and diving into life’s big (and small) questions with people who see the world differently.   At the heart of every Curious Krewe, we’re doing two things—being great friends and chasing curiosity together.  

What does that look like?  

We’re glad you asked!

Friendship is First: Two folks (who are friends) kick things off by sharing their thoughts on the topic we all voted on last time. They will both be “keeping things real, while also fully respecting each other.

Chasing Curious Together: Just hanging out with people who think differently is great, but there’s so much more to friendships. True friends help each other explore, learn, and figure out what’s real. Crazy idea, we know—but we believe you can do that even if you don’t see eye to eye on everything.

The Curiousity Krewe doesn’t have “rules”, but it does have a “code”.  We call ours the “The Fun-but-Fair Code”

1. Respect beats being right—always.

2. Listen up (no interruptions, please).

3. Keep an open mind—it’s how we grow!

4. Differences are good—let’s understand them.

5. Make this a safe space for everyone, every time.

If all this piques your CURIOSITY, then you belong in The Curious Krewe!

We've got exciting news, friends—our first Free Little Library is ready for the spotlight, and we need you to help bring it to life! Join us in Central City for a special Work Day, where we'll build, assemble, and paint this small but mighty community gift. Tools? Provided. Food and drinks? You bet. Fun and good vibes? Absolutely. All you need to bring is yourself (and maybe wear something you don't mind getting a little paint on).

As a reminder, these aren't just book boxes. They're colorful little hubs of hope. Little Free Libraries: "A small, colorful box filled with books, free for anyone to take or leave." These libraries are more than just shelves—they're solving real issues tied to mental health and literacy in New Orleans. And we've done our homework, identifying book deserts in our neighborhoods so we can help fill them with stories, resources, and opportunities.

Details: 11am on Saturday, April 26 at 2028 Third St.
