Details

A calm, atmospheric space for anyone who wants a peaceful hour to create. Bring whatever you’re working on — writing, poetry, drawing, journaling, planning, photography notes, zines, or something half-formed you’re still finding your way into.

You’re also very welcome if you just want to sit with a blank page and see what appears.

We start with a small creative spark to set the tone — maybe a short poem, an image, a symbol, or something someone brings that gently shifts us into a more reflective headspace. There’ll also be a couple of optional prompts on the table, usually inspired by dreams, myth, memory, or the season.

After that it’s mostly quiet work time. Around 45–60 minutes to settle in, focus, sip something warm, and let yourself make a bit of progress. It won’t be silent — it’s a café — but there’s a shared sense of attention in the room.

At the end, there’s a chance to share a line, show a sketch, talk about your process, or simply listen.

Nothing formal. No critique. No pressure.

Just a gentle hour to work alongside other creatives in the city.
