The Kafenia Peace Collective is a feminine-spirited social healing project that weave our diverse cultures together into a ‘village of all together,’ starting with opening a community hub in Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley has so many beautiful women and men, but they are often hidden and valued primarily for their economic contributions. The Kafenia is focused on slowing down, strengthening our humanity and uplifting our diverse immigrants from village cultures. We are building a more heartfelt community here while also moving towards a peaceful regenerative world. The Kafenia is a reimagining of the ancient symposium and the kafenio, a food & dialogue space that served as the center of village life in Greece.
