Learn what EVERYDAY HOSPITALITY can look like from leaders who love their neighbors and neighborhood.
Pat Harrison has practiced the the art of availability and hospitality to his neighbors and neighborhood for 20 years. The vision of their work is rooted in everyday hospitality.
“The world has never been more connected and affluent, yet never more disconnected, depressed, hopeless, fear-based, polarized, and fragmented than now. Our vision is that hope and genuine transformation is possible, and will begin at home, and spread from life to life, through modeling and mentorship in love, by our being present to those already at our doorstep.”

Speakers
Greg & GiGi Hahl
Hospitality was central to GiGi's upbringing. From her early days, she remembers her mom hosting large groups, taking in teens recently released from detention, and always making sure there was an extra plate, 'just in case.' Greg, on the other hand, grew up in a home with strictly planned social events with unwritten rules of reciprocation. When they got married eight years ago, they had a decision to make: what kind of family did they want to become?
Since then, Greg & GiGi have implemented an open door policy and have worked hard to make their home a place where all feel welcome. Rumor has it they throw a mean holiday party, and they regularly host dinners and events at their home. GiGi is a life coach and curriculum writer, while Greg is in tech sales. They live in Central Park with their five children - two from GiGi's first marriage, two kids together, and one teen they are fostering to adopt. They are the hosts of Mixed & Blended, a podcast on the unique challenges of having an interracial and blended family.
Pat & Ashley Riley
Pat and Ashley reside in Denver’s Park Hill neighborhood and have been Denver residents for 14 years. Throughout this time, they have discovered that spending time with neighbors is one of the most life-giving aspects of their lives. They host neighborhood parties and events throughout the year, focusing on specific themes based on the season. More importantly, they believe that simply being ‘present’ in the neighborhood is crucial to living an intentional life with others.
Before moving to Denver, they met at church and lived on Capitol Hill and Brookland in Washington, D.C. Ashley worked for the White House, and Pat worked for the American Red Cross Headquarters. Ashley is now a mental health therapist, specializing in anxiety, offering her expertise to those in need. Meanwhile, Pat serves as the CEO of Morrow, a company dedicated to assisting tech investors in their collaborations with startups. They have two daughters, aged 9 and 7.
