In a culture obsessed with scale, we build slow trust — and practice grace — around tables. One conversation at a time.
Live small.
Because the work you do matters.
And so do you.
The pace is relentless. The work never ends. Washington thrives on urgency and ambition — but the people doing the work often run on empty.
At Mark 4, we create space to slow down, share a meal, and remember that rest, trust, and hospitality aren’t luxuries — they’re essential.
Our Vision:
Slow is Strong.
Mark 4 was built as an action-table — not for endless talk, but for intentional gatherings that spark solutions and lead to action – listening deeply, seeing one another with dignity, and allowing conversations to reshape how we act.
Around the table, trust is rebuilt, resilience grows, and commitments are made that ripple back into the life of Washington.
Why small matters.
At Mark 4, small isn’t less — it’s deeper.
We believe that transformation begins not in the crowd, but at the table. In slowing down. In paying attention. In choosing presence over performance.
Here, conversations become catalysts. Relationships build resilience. Trust becomes contagious.
How we live small.
The Norm: Where shall we meet? Do we split the bill? Is the table next door listening to our conversation?
Mark 4 Way: A private space to gather and have meaningful conversation.
Place your focus on those around the table – let us take care of the rest.
Yep! We got the bill!

Shared meals
Gathering around a table slows us down, fosters dialogue, and deepens connection.
Honest conversations
Face-to-face, a few people at a time. Courageous, restorative, human.
Space to breathe
A pause from performance — a return to what’s real.

Help set the table.
Simple experiences. Lasting impact.
Your support sustains hospitality — real meals, real rest, real conversations.
By giving, you help us keep the table open for whoever shows up next.
No strings.
No expectations.
No exceptions.
Whether you come once or often, Mark 4 is always here: a table set, a listening ear, and space to rediscover what makes life feel centered.
