Letters to Strangers
Letters to Strangers is a reflective, heart-opening event where you write a letter on our monthly theme before the session — something honest, thoughtful, or imaginative. At the event, the letters are anonymously swapped, read, and used as a starting point for a gentle group discussion.
It’s not therapy, not pressure, just a space where words become bridges.

Bookings are essential.

The Quote Café
At The Quote Café, everyone brings a quote, short excerpt, or passage that resonated with them recently. We read them aloud, talk about why they struck us, and follow the conversation wherever it leads.
It’s simple, reflective, and beautifully human — a gentle space to connect through language.
Each guest also creates a small “quote postcard” to take home.

Short Story Circle
Short Story Circle is a relaxed book-club-style meetup focused on a single short story chosen each month.
Participants read the story beforehand (or use one we provide), then join the circle for a thoughtful discussion about its themes, style, emotional notes, and personal resonance.
A perfect space for readers who love depth without the pressure of a full book.

The Ink Table
The Ink Table is a welcoming creative writing session for beginners, hobby writers, and anyone who simply enjoys putting words to paper.
We explore short timed prompts, playful exercises, and expressive writing moments — no critique, no sharing unless you want to, just writing for the joy of it.
Expect laughter, flow, and surprising discoveries.

Pages & People
Pages & People is a flexible, theme-based book club designed for curious readers.
Instead of working through one book together, each participant chooses any text — an article, excerpt, chapter, poem, or story — that connects to our monthly theme.
At the event, we share what we read, why it resonated, and how it connects to the theme, sparking rich and varied discussion.

The Listening Room
The Listening Room is an evening for deep thinkers.
We gather to watch a selection of short recordings, videos, or podcast excerpts linked to the monthly theme. After each piece, the group reflects, discusses different angles, and explores ideas sparked by what we’ve seen and heard.
It’s immersive, thought-provoking, and perfect for people who enjoy big questions.

Poetry & Pastries
Poetry & Pastries is a warm, inviting poetry-sharing circle where each guest brings a poem to read aloud.
It can be your own writing or a poem you love. We listen, discuss, and enjoy the quiet connection that poetry always brings — all with coffee, tea, and a pastry included.
Themes shift monthly to keep things fresh and inspiring.

The Book Table
The Book Table is more than a simple book swap — it’s a slow morning of conversation, shared recommendations, and literary browsing.
Bring a book to trade, explore the swap table, and linger over coffee or tea with fellow readers.
We also include a small “blind book” corner with wrapped books and keyword hints for the adventurous.

Table Talks
Table Talks invite you to slow down and connect beyond the surface. Each month, nine strangers gather around the table for a thoughtful afternoon of conversation — the kind that lingers long after you leave.
We’ll offer a few guiding prompts to spark reflection, but the beauty lies in the dialogue that unfolds naturally between open-minded people. Together, we explore themes like life, art, purpose, creativity, and the human experience — all over tea or coffee in a calm, welcoming space.
No small talk. Just genuine voices, real ideas, and shared presence.
