A CUP REMEMBERED FOR FORTY YEARS

Sunday, March 8, from 10 AM to 11 AM

Facilitator: Elif Birbiri

This gathering is part of Jamii’s March Cycle and reflects the 2026 theme, It Feels Right. This month The Jamii Coffee explores the tradition of Turkish coffee, a practice shaped by hospitality, conversation, and time. Prepared unfiltered and served with intention, Turkish coffee has travelled across continents while holding its place at small tables where stories are shared and relationships are formed.


Guided by Elif Birbiri, participants experience coffee preparation alongside stories of its cultural roots, reflections on migration and memory, and the tradition of reading fortunes from the cup. The focus is not instruction, but connection, presence, and shared experience.


The Jamii Coffee welcomes all who are interested in gathering, listening, and sharing.


Spots are limited. Registration is required for each The Jamii Coffee gathering.
