You are warmly invited to a series of four Coffee Conversations inspired by the themes explored in the recent Conversation Package on Wellbeing for a Flourishing People and Planet. These gatherings offer a gentle and reflective space to pause, connect, and consider what it truly means to flourish — as individuals, as communities, and as part of the wider web of creation.
Across the four sessions, we will explore how the material invites us to see flourishing not simply as personal wellbeing, but as a shared, relational, and ecological reality. Together, over coffee and conversation, we will reflect on how our choices, relationships, and commitments can nurture life, deepen belonging, and contribute to a more hope filled and sustainable future.
Whether you have read the material or are encountering it for the first time, your insights and presence will enrich our shared journey. Come and be part of a thoughtful and hospitable space where we listen, learn, and imagine what flourishing might look like in our own contexts.
All are welcome!
