An Enjoyable Pizza Gathering with Extra Toppings

In 2020 Andrea and Jim Cribb settled on some rural property in Nanoose Bay on central Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and set about building a wood-fired oven covered by a pavilion. Since then, with the oven up and running, a variety of home-bakers has gathered weekly at 11 a.m. with family, friends, and neighbours for a Saturday Community Bake. Breads and other goodies are popped into the oven, to be enjoyed on the spot or taken away to share with others or consume at home.

On the second Sunday of every month we also have warm, welcoming, evening get-togethers with the wood-fired oven ready to bake pizzas. After the meal, time is devoted to spiritual explorations of a theme: the content is as varied as those who participate. As with the Saturday Community Bake, there is no charge to attend the Soul Pizza evenings nor do we expect anything in return. It is our pleasure, and another small way to help build community.

Our next gathering is planned for Sunday, May 10, 2026 starting at 5 p.m.

The theme is Beginnings.

“The human spirit has a beginning but no end: It endures forever.”

—'Abdu'l-Bahá

“The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep.”

—Rumi

Nourishing Our Bodies and Souls

The pizzas are assembled with simple ingredients, baked in the wood-fired oven for a few minutes, and then enjoyed in a leisurely meal. (We'll have sourdough pizza dough and basic toppings ready to create the fare; please feel free to bring some of your favourite dough and/or toppings to add to the selection of ingredients.)

After satisfying our bodies with physical food we delve into the theme to give our souls spiritual food. If you feel so inspired please bring something theme-related to share, such as a quote from sacred writings, an excerpt from literary works, a piece of music, or a work of art.
