Conscious Consumption Circles

The Mate Space will be open from 11.30 - 4.30 daily with  workshops at 12pm and 2pm. We will offer DIY Mates for people to take with for the day against a small deposit for the materials. Stop by to learn more about the Drink of Communication & Friendship

Every culture & generation has its beverage of choice. The colonial era traded with Tea; Coffee fuelled the Industrial Age, and Mate bursting with green forest energy is ready to spark the re:publica revolution. Mate drinking fosters communication, thinking out of the box, raises the theobromine levels, and the best thing is that it is sustainably sourced, so you are saving the forests a sip at a time.

We have moved out of the forests into concrete jungles and as global & urban beings we have outgrown the wild ways of the natural world. We take our daily doses in tablets and pride our selves in packing all of those functional foods into a bottled smoothie, so that we don't need to waste time with cooking and eating.

In this modern individualistic society scarred by social distancing, Mate drinking can facilitate a communal setting rooted in the commons. The ritual of sitting in a circle can facilitate group resonance and enable deep exchange.
