    The welcome event is taking place in a mystery venue near Temple Bar and will only be sent to ticket holders.
    We’ll have a large upstairs space with light background music and plenty of room to settle in however you feel like. Attendees are encouraged to come alone as we want people to meet others.
    There’ll be collage materials, paper, pens, magazines, and drawing supplies available throughout the night. Bring a book if you’ve been meaning to read. Start a collage. Draw. Journal. Meet someone new. Come with friends or come on your own.

    This is simply a space to switch off for a while and enjoy being present, around other people doing the same.
