About Mahima

Mahima, meaning grace, is the expression of what happens when deep pain and suffering are met with unconditional love and support. Mahima International is rooted in the belief that women with refugee experience carry an immense wealth of cultural heritage, what we call life-rich traditions. These traditions hold stories, wisdom, and practices passed down for generations.

Events

The Third Cup - Monthly Gatherings

The first cup, you're a stranger. The second cup, a friend. 
The Third Cup makes you family. 

The Third Cup is a monthly gathering created to bring people together across cultures. Community members and friends of Mahima come together to enjoy tea, share stories, and spend time in a welcoming, inclusive space. 

Each gathering is hosted by women who have experienced displacement and now call Spokane home. They prepare traditional teas and coffees from their cultures.
