Pericles Oration

Agora

The emphasis in “Agora” is on the first syllable:
Á-go-ra — /ˈæɡərə/
Pronounced AG-uh-ruh (not uh-GO-ra or uh-GOR-uh).

Etymology & sense: From ancient Greek ἀγορά (agorá) — the public gathering place or marketplace; the center of civic life, assembly, and exchange of ideas.

Project nuance: We use Agora for open, public-facing dialogues and community deliberation spaces — a “marketplace of questions” where citizens meet to reason together.

There’s A New Game in Town

One gathering place for citizens of Sisters, Oregon is Fika Sisters, a coffeehouse.

One reason for attending periodic gatherings is to play a game we call “I Have a Question.”

Our first gathering will be on October 16, 2025. We post a sign at the counter a week before the event.
