Coffee & Conversations

With Matt & Bella

You’ve probably seen the QR code on our banner, right?

As you’ll see on the rest of this site, we have been running a sustainable social enterprise selling takeaway coffee to both build local, nourishing community and to raise funds for various international development projects. We also do research into human trafficking and have published two books.

Our primary activity at the moment is to raise awareness of the various things we are passionate about via small discussion groups. That’s Coffee and Conversations — conversations about important topics in the context of a drink or a meal together.

We are most excited to facilitate new thinking about the importance of mercy in our increasingly polarised and aggressive society, and about human trafficking (also called modern slavery).

But these conversations could be about many other things too, like …

• Our April 2024 conference on how shame influences so many personal and social difficulties

• Sustainable social enterprises: using small business for social good

• Navigating a journey of faith in the light of a growing disillusionment with the tradition model of church

• The intersection of religious faith and technology

• The Anabaptist tradition and its focus on community and non-violence.

Thanks for your interest. If you would like to host a gathering around any of those topics, or need more information, please call Bella on 0409 50 88 99 (in Australia), or email rossinibella@gmail.com.
