Sámi Coffee Ceremony: A Journey into Happiness

About us

Through ancient Sámi shamanic practices and Sámi coffee culture, participants enjoy a unique spiritual and cultural journey connected to Northern Norwegian traditions.

The ceremony includes cleansing, the opening of the sacred space, the lighting of the fire, and a guided drum journey. Participants hold coffee grounds or beans during the drum journey to focus on personal happiness and good fortune, which are later offered to the sacred fire.

After the ceremony, participants enjoy traditional Sámi coffee brewed over a fire and shared in the gáfestallan tradition, accompanied by stories and conversation.
