“Epinoia” means to be among those who think, imagine, envision or formulate an idea. It’s a thought by way of design. We are here to share thought, to wonder, imagine and express ourselves through writing. We all know what café is. However, because this site is founded in the great northwest one of the cultural happenings is stopping by the café for something to satisfy the caffeine addiction, to just meet with friends to enjoy the company and share our thoughts and visions or to just check in with one another. No need for the caffeine. That’s just a byproduct. A lot happens at the café. Lives are changed by the experiences there; it’s a safe place to share what’s on your mind. Thanks for stopping by. We hope you’ll pull up a chair, grab your drink of choice and speak your mind. Epinoia Café is the official Eugene, Oregon cohort for Emergent Village.
