Weaving NWA

Life in Northwest Arkansas has so much to offer, but we all face challenges, and it’s easy to feel disconnected and isolated at times. We believe we can change that.

Weaving NWA is dedicated to building a stronger, more connected community where people genuinely care for one another and everyone feels a sense of belonging. This is our home, and together, we can create spaces for open conversations, shared stories, and meaningful connections.

Join us as we bring people together, share experiences, and help weave a vibrant, welcoming community. Let’s make NWA a place where everyone truly feels at home.

Start your own Coffee & Conversations

Many people in our community feel lonely and disconnected. We can change that. We started the Coffee & Conversations to create spaces across NWA where folks can come together, have conversations, and bond over a coffee or tea. We are now opening it to neighbors and community leaders to host their own and create spaces where trust can be formed and social connection can be renewed. If you are interested in starting one, we’ll provide you with some conversations guides, a structured format to get you started, and some funds to buy the first round of coffee and tea.

Upcoming gatherings

Coffee & Conversations 101

We are hosting a training to help folks host their own Coffee & Conversations. We’ll share some practical advice on how to make attendees feel engaged, connected, and wanting for more conversations. This is a great fit if you want to build more connection spaces in your community but are unsure if you are the right person to start them or if you are already interested in starting a Coffee & Conversations and want to up your skills to make sure it is a success.

It happens Friday, June 13 | Onyx Coffee | 100 E. Emma Ave Springdale, AR | 11:30 am-1:00 pm
