Coffee Across Cultures Hour is a monthly gathering that brings people together over coffee, tea, and pastries to explore global traditions and the diverse ways communities connect through shared rituals. Each session centers on a unique theme that opens space for conversation, storytelling, and cross-cultural exchange, celebrating the richness of perspectives and practices from around the world.


With Valentine’s week approaching, this session invites you to reflect on how different cultures express affection, build friendships, and understand relationships. We will discuss traditions, expectations, and the diverse ways people form meaningful connections. A thoughtful and lighthearted way to explore global perspectives on love and friendship.

Free and open to all.
