Palestinian Food Culture + Iftar

Join us for iftar to honour the rich tapestry of Palestinian culture - an evening filled with connection, mindfulness and gratitude in the holy month of Ramadan.

This event welcomes all - including Muslims observing Ramadan, and others who aren't.

The intention of this event is to help our community gather in joy and connect more deeply with Palestine around food, history and stories.

The evening will feature 2 incredible Palestinian speakers, a mindful eating practice and a Gazan iftar buffet.

*For those observing Ramadan, we will have dates and soup to break your fast and time and space allocated for prayer.*

There will be no music for this event out of respect for traditional Ramadan practices.

Please share this event widely with friends, family and colleagues.

I invite you to nourish your body, mind, and spirit with us through food, community, and culture. Together, let's stand strong in our support for a free Palestine.
