MateVerse - Infuse yourself in a New Dimension

Mate partially fuels the re:publica and in the MateVerse we take it out of the bottle and offer everyone the chance to try a real mate in traditional style.  Facilitating communication and sharing time offline, we recommend at least half an hour (either alone or with a friend) to really experience the Mate. The basic preparation techniques and rules will be explained and visitors are welcome to respectfully drink and get their daily dose of healthy herbal infusions.

The MateVerse can be a small space to stop and savour the moment in the here and now and re:hydrate with fresh forest energy.  Mate is more than just a natural energiser .  The theobromine and vitamins lead boost the immune system and lift the spirits, so the MateVerse becomes an open space for participants to resonate and discuss a subject in depth. 

In the spirit of the indigenous tradition of the commons, this  interactive space will be non-commercial just a donation box will be set up for those wishing to contribute for their drinks.  And in order to not compete with contracted vendors we will only offer fresh forest mate (from Brasil).  Depending the infrastructure available, the coziness and size of the space can be defined.
