Cycles
Workshops
Drinking coffee the Jamii way!

The Jamii Coffee is a Sunday morning gathering series within Jamii’s Cycles, centred on coffee, tea, and the rituals that bring people together.

Each session features a guest facilitator who prepares a drink in the space and shares the traditions around it. Expect the smell of coffee and tea brewing, shared food, stories that travel through family and culture, and a cosy Sunday atmosphere where conversation happens naturally around the table.

Coffee and tea are also shaped by global trade and colonial histories. The Jamii Coffee holds space for both comfort and reflection, inviting us to enjoy what’s in the cup while thinking about where it comes from and who carried these traditions forward.

The Jamii Coffee sessions are free to attend and open to all. Registration is required for each individual gathering, as space is limited.

AGE GROUP | All Ages - Children under 12 are welcome when accompanied by an adult
