Absent - Offline third space and café

------------------------
Free for members - Become a member → absent.tech/memberships
€5 for non members.
Absent has been building towards a members community. From April, our events are part of that - free for members, open to everyone else with a fee.
If you come to more than one event a month, a membership already pays for itself - starting from €10/month if you join in April. Goes up to €15/month May onwards.
-----------------------

Bring Your Unfinished Projects and let's get them done together:

That shirt button you meant to replace. The scarf you started knitting. The broken clasp. The half-painted thing. The Pinterest board items labeled "easy".
Anything from your “I’ll do it later” list.
If you just want to try out something new, learn basic embroidery, craft, macrame, it's a good space for that too.

What to expect:

• This will be a guided, open-table DIY session for all the projects you’ve been meaning to finish.
• We’ll have experienced hands in the room to help, guide, teach, and encourage. It's a mom that does stitching, embroidery, knits, macrame and a lot more. It’s not a formal workshop.
• Basic materials like needles, frames etc. available but please bring the specific equipment you need for your project.
• Best suited for small, portable projects.

Phones in pouches. Tools on the table.

If you've tried meditating and your mind wouldn't stop racing, then this one's for you. A practical, guided session built from scratch for people who want to make meditation a part of their routine. Led by Reena, who has been meditating daily for years and knows the fastest way to make it actually work for beginners. 40 minutes of guided meditation broken into easy sections. Followed by proper chai - boiled in a kettle, single origin Assam leaves, whole spices, the way it's meant to be made. With the right snacks for the cup. Stay as long as you like afterwards.
