Check out some of our previous gatherings. We have had monthly circles since November 2016 (now on the 3rd Wednesday) through May 2018. Each one explores a primal theme in a culturally-rooted heartfelt way. Our 1st Peace Meal centered on Libya and went viral across Libya! (30,000 likes!)

Peace Meals: Bridging Cultures with FoodThese gatherings give participants an embodied experience of other cultures by sharing foods and stories around food.
Why? Sharing food deepens community and connections and, like personal stories, gives one a practical connection and pathway to engage more meaningfully. |
Heartfelt Connections to Current EventsGatherings and talks from people from or returned from afar help translate abstract "over there" events into personal, heartfelt experiences of connection with people, art and heart.
Why? Heart and personal connections help reduce overwhelm and light a clearer path for engagement based on relationship. |
Participate in the World!If you could move the needle on one issue, what would it be?*
Amelides Cafe helps you connect with the incredible global work based in the Bay Area, and offers practical ways (connections to groups, on site-volunteering) to do it.. Why? It can be overwhelming to decide how to engage or when to find the time. Our staff and programming will help you engage regularly, with community and help you identify what resonates for you. This is a pathway between the great efforts and the wider public that is missing right now *** *Saw this on an Abacus ad and loved it so much I included it. This isn't an endorsement of their work but I did love their language! |
