Our story

Celebrations that bring people closer

Kindred Gatherings was started by Renee, an early childhood educator who has spent more than twenty-five years creating spaces where children and families gather, play and grow together in Sonoma County, California.

Over those years she noticed how much pressure hosts feel to create the perfect party. Store-bought decor can feel impersonal, and piecing a party together from a dozen blogs takes hours that busy families do not have.

Each kit gathers everything into one calm, complete plan. A timeline, a supply list, guided experiences that invite children to explore and make, a menu with recipes, and printables that tie it all together.

The collection has grown to include gatherings for teens and adults, with the same calm planning for supper parties, starry evenings and birthdays, and Everyday Wonder kits for slowing down and noticing the world with children on any ordinary day.

What we care about

• Connection. Every kit is built around doing things together.
• Nature. Our themes come from gardens, forests, the night sky and the outdoors.
• Simplicity. Clear, gentle guidance you can follow or adapt.
• Beauty. A cohesive look that makes an ordinary room feel special.
• Care for the earth. Living favors, natural materials and compostable choices wherever we can.
