Alicia DeCastro, Founder of Fundati Coffee, closed one door at her corporate job in San Francisco only to open two more. After getting her yoga teacher training, she recognized the importance of implementing mindfulness exercises daily for even the non-yogis. She had always had a passion for coffee and the vacant space next to her yoga studio sparked an idea – can coffee brewing and grinding being a meditative experience? From there the ideas and actionable steps led her to where she is now. Fundati has evolved into a virtual movement of people recognizing that simple, mundane rituals such as making coffee can be meditative. The Rhode Island location customizes your coffee experience right down to the bean which they grind in front of you.

To support Fundati you can help give them a boost as they open by ordering coffee beans on their website or stopping in if you are in the Rhode Island area! Another awesome way to support their mission is to follow Fundati on Facebook and Instagram.
