Oneness Breakfast: Fostering community through food-sharing and listening.

Oneness Breakfast is an idea. The idea is that people can connect with their dear, near, trusted, or loved ones over food with a deliberate intent to experience Oneness through listening. This gathering brings families, friends, neighbors, colleagues, co-workers, team members, and online friends together to experience our shared oneness, our interconnected reality. 

Origin: ‘The Oneness Breakfast‘ was a series of gatherings held between a loosely-related group of friends and friends-of-friends in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad in 2009-10. We had a vision to take these meet-ups to the world, but we did not know how.

Now we’ve figured how: We’ll share with you how to hold a Oneness Breakfast wherever you are. All you need is at least one friend or family beside you, some tools, food, and the guts to hold a true, from-the-heart conversation. It is through food that you connect, and through the conversation that you feel the interconnectedness (Oneness) between you and the very next person you’re with. Once you hold this awareness, it expands outwards to include your entire experience until you become aware, we hope, of how you are one with the ‘other’.
