“Belonging Always Begins with an Invitation.”
..Toko-Pa Turner..
A slow-brewing vision is coming to life: a cafe & curiosities shop inspired by the spirit of the Highway 209 community. This long-awaited third space is emerging now, at a time when we’re called to gather, spark meaningful conversations, and channel our creativity.
Consider yourself invited.
Our cafe will feature ethically sourced coffee and ceremonial-grade cacao, thoughtfully crafted to inspire creativity and honor the artistry of women growers.
Our vision is to become the heartbeat of the community—a place where creativity and connection flourish. We strive to inspire a culture of collaboration and innovation, where every visit sparks new ideas, fosters meaningful relationships, and leaves a lasting impression. Through our dedication to exceptional coffee, artful experiences, and a welcoming environment, we envision Ritual Creative Cafe & Curiosities as a catalyst for positive change, helping to shape a more vibrant, connected, and creative world.
Ritual Creative Rules For Life
Stay curious
Play in the mud
Sing by fires
Talk to trees
Laugh ‘til it hurts
Be the lightning
Drum wildly as needed
Howl under moonlight
Shine like stardust
As an artist-focused gathering space, we provide a sanctuary where creativity flourishes, ideas flow freely, and meaningful connections are forged.

Find items made by local-artisans and always selected with the spirit of the community in mind.

Let’s start by saying the owner of Ritual Creative, is a sense-pleasure epicurean, former chocolate-maker, raw chocolate lounge designer, all around experience-junky. The menu for the cafe starts with great coffee, then moves into thoughtfully crafted cacao offerings, including “The Lightning-Keeper’s Secret Sauce”. We will serve a rotating cast of eclectic tea blends, as well as a truly seductive, non-alcoholic elixir menu.
(There will be snacks.)

Our vision for the co-working collective, is a membership for locals who work from their screens, and like to do so in a beautiful setting.

If you’re looking to co-create an unforgettable experience, we’re here for that. We specialize in designing intention-infused gatherings, crafted around a desired theme, topic, cause, conversation or moment-to-be-marked by. A curated experience is more than a private event rental. It is event planning, outcome strategy & atmospheric alchemy.

When it comes to gathering, we’re going to keep it creative! Classes will focus on creative arts and ritual, from weaving to poetry, sacred karaoke, movement & more. Every gathering will be designed with the intention of connecting, expanding & celebrating the goodness of what happens when we come together & create.
