Ruby's Table
is a welcoming gathering where stories open the door to meaningful conversation, reflection, and connection. Throughout the year, Storyvangelist™ hosts Ruby’s Table gatherings across Lane County in partnership with 
local organizations, churches, and community hosts. Each gathering is intentionally small, creating a relaxed environment where women can slow down, share conversation, and explore themes of courage, curiosity, and compassion.
Guests gather around a table for guided discussion inspired by the novel An Echo of the Silence. The evening includes thoughtful conversation, time for personal reflection, and an opportunity to connect with others in a meaningful way.
Ruby’s Table exists because Storyvangelist believes stories are meant to travel — not just sit on shelves. Through the generosity of donors and community partners, books are placed directly into people’s hands, creating spaces where honest conversation and personal reflection can begin. Calendar
Gatherings take place throughout Lane county. If you would like to attend a future Ruby’s Table, you are welcome to submit a request and we will notify you when a gathering is scheduled near you. Contact Us for more information.
The Storyvangelist™ was founded by the constantly creative Csakany duo—Tami and Nate—after almost four decades of walking alongside creatives through their
work with Incubator Creative Group. Their focus was never just on the art itself, but on helping individuals uncover their story, find their voice, and create meaningful impact through it. Over time, they began to notice something deeper—stories don’t stay still. When shared in honest and personal ways, they have a way of traveling—reaching people at just the right moment, opening conversations, and creating connection in ways that are both simple and profound.
As their work with Incubator Creative Group came to a close in 2026, a new chapter began to take shape. Today, the Csakanys are focused on helping transformational fiction stories move beyond the page into the lives of individuals. Through Storyvangelist™, they are building a growing, community-supported movement that creates intentional spaces where people can gather, reflect, and connect through story. What began as creative work has become something more—stories being carried, shared, and experienced together, one connection at a time.
An Echo of the Silence is a novel about Ruby—a woman shaped by the quiet, often unseen moments of her life. The things left unspoken. The questions she didn’t always know how to ask. The experiences that stayed with her long after they passed.
As Ruby begins to look more closely at her story, something shifts. What once felt isolated begins to feel familiar—not just to her, but to others. Women recognize pieces of their own story in hers. Not because the details are the same, but because the emotions underneath connect in ways that are both honest and deeply human.
That’s why this story doesn’t stay in one place. It has a way of traveling—finding its way into the hands of women who may be ready to reflect on their own story, just a little more closely. It is shared freely, carried by those who believe stories are meant to be given, not kept.
