Cognac - from basics to world class bottles
Join me on a journey to understanding and appreciating brandy and Cognac to the fullest extent. We shall taste the wine that eventually becomes “eau de vie” and a delicious Armagnac before enjoying a few of the world’s greatest Cognacs. I’ll explain each step, definition and label so that you will be a true expert by the end of the evening.
We’ll understand terms like marc, fine, pommace, alambic, head/tail, paradis, hors d’âge, fins bois, brouillis… and delve into the influence of Cognac on popular culture.
What’s more, the food has been specially chosen to pair beautifully with the bottles: dark chocolate, desserts, fruit, blue cheese, charcuterie, and fish can all accentuate the flavours, and be improved themselves.
Astonishingly, this extraordinary experience will cost you just 40 Euros!

Grow & Meet: Oyster Mushrooms from Coffee Grounds
Join us for a relaxed, social workshop where you can meet new people in Berlin — whether you’ve just moved here or you’ve been around for years. Winter days are short and cold, so this is the perfect moment to break out of the seasonal slump and do something meaningful together.
We’ll be learning how to grow delicious and healthy oyster mushrooms using coffee grounds that would normally be thrown away. No need to bring anything — all materials are provided. Everyone will leave with their own small pot that will soon grow fresh mushrooms, and maybe you’ll leave with a few new connections as well.
This event is all about learning something useful and doing something social with others. Let’s team up against the winter blues!
Cost: 10€ (materials + workshop)

Introduction to Watercolours - Fridays Workshop
If you’ve ever wondered how to paint with watercolours but didn’t quite dare to start, this class is for you. **Begin the year with a relaxed and creative introduction to watercolour, specifically designed for beginners and curious creatives.**
In this workshop, we’ll explore the essentials of watercolour painting: how water and pigment interact, how transparency works, and how to control (and enjoy) the unexpected effects that water can create. **We’ll practice wet-on-wet techniques, layering washes, creating soft textures, and playful effects using salt, splashes, and lifting colour**. Most importantly, we’ll focus on letting go, experimenting, and building confidence with the medium.
No previous experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to explore. This class is about learning the basics while enjoying the process and discovering your own creative flow.
###
**Fridays 16 - 23 January** from 6:00 to 7:30 PM

Join us for one or both classes, as you prefer. They are independent but complementary.
**Price:**

Our hearts are dancing again.

A gentle ceremonial space to arrive, to feel, and to let go — supported by ceremonial cacao, meditation, and free flow ecstatic dance.
The dance is free and intuitive.

This is a sober event.

### **About Shania Shamanica & the space**
Shania Shamanica creates and holds ceremonial spaces rooted in embodiment, presence, and connection, together with her partner.
Their work is guided by a shared love for ritual, conscious movement, and the simple truth of being fully human.
Through ceremonies, music, workshops, and creative expression, they invite people to move, feel, and express themselves freely — without expectation or judgment.
Inspired by many travels and encounters with different cultures around the world, their spaces weave together diverse influences, ancient wisdom, and modern embodied practice.
These inspirations are reflected in the music, the rituals, and the way the space is held — grounded, heart-led, and open.
At the core of this work is the wish to create containers where people can simply be as they are, reconnect with themselves, and meet others in honesty, presence, and care.
### **Practical notes**
Please bring a cup for the cacao and water for yourself, both for the ceremony and the dance.
Staying well hydrated throughout the evening is important.
We will also have additional water and a few cups available on site, in case you forget yours or feel the need for more.
Please wear comfortable clothing that you feel good moving in.
It can be nice to bring something warm and cozy for the closing.
If you wish, you are welcome to bring a small snack to share for the community chillout at the end.
### **Schedule**
19:00 – Arrival
19:30 – Cacao Ceremony & Meditation

Happy 8th Birthday, GOhio! @ Pins Mechanical!!! 🎂 🎈 🍨 🎁 💐 🧁 🎉 🥳 🍰 🪅 📅
*GOhio!* turns 8!! 🥳 Come celebrate with us at [Pins Mechanical](https://www.pinsbar.com/locations/easton)! 😄
**Summary**
Pins Mechanical Co. is a social entertainment venue that combines old-school games like duckpin bowling, pinball, and other classic arcade and table games with craft cocktails, local beers, and punch. The vintage-industrial atmosphere is designed for playful, face-to-face gatherings with friends, family, and colleagues, offering a casual and lively alternative to a typical bar.
Pins' Easton location spans over 38,000 square feet, making it the largest in the United States. This massive entertainment venue features two floors, a mezzanine level with stadium seating, and three full-service bars. It offers 16 duckpin bowling lanes, two indoor bocce courts, and more than 60 classic and modern pinball and arcade games. For additional fun, the location is known for its two outdoor patios, an indoor slide, and an expanded patio pong setup.
**Activities**
As noted below, some machines take actual quarters. Pins has two change machines (one downstairs and one upstairs) that accept ones, fives, or tens (only), and return quarters (only).
* *Duckpin Bowling*
[Like Bowling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duckpin_bowling) but with smaller balls, stubby pins, and no oil on the lanes. The cost is $9 per game per person.
* *Pinball*
[Who](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Who)'s a [wizard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinball_Wizard) on these [retro machines](https://pinballmap.com/map/?by_location_id=15311)? At $1 per play, everyone! Takes quarters.
* *Arcade*
Play classics like Gorf, Pac-Man, Gorf, Donkey Kong, Gorf, Galaga, and Gorf! The best part is, there's Gorf! And all the arcade games are free!
* *Patio Pong*
The classic college party staple but bigger. Instead of tossing a ping pong ball into cups, you use a regular ball and oversized buckets. There are two of these upstairs, and they're both free!
* *Ping Pong*
The most popular sport in China! They have two ping pong tables downstairs and two more ping pong tables upstairs. For those of you who have studied topological spaces and set theory, you will know this means they have four total ping pong tables.
They have bubble gum dispensers with ping pong balls in them for 25¢ each. The dispensers take quarters. However, they also have racks where they store the ping pong paddles, and in these racks are slots for ping pong balls. It's not uncommon to see balls already here, so there's a chance you may be able to play ping pong for free if you want to.
* *Hookie*
You can't put your eye out! The safe alternative to darts: Hook thrown rings on a board. Outdoors on the upstairs patio, and free!
* *Bocce*
Like bowling, except there’s turf and a lot more balls. You can also knock your opponent’s balls out of the way. There are two of these upstairs, and they're both free!
* *Foosball*
Everyone loves [foosball](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_football)! 50¢ a game. Takes quarters.
* *Giant Jenga*
Stack massive wooden blocks into a tower, then take turns pulling out one block at a time without collapsing the tower. There are four of these sprinkled throughout the venue (two downstairs and two upstairs, with one on each patio), and they're all free!
* *Skeeball*
There are three skeeball machines on the first floor (near the Gorf machine!), and they're all free!
* *Giant Connect Four*
On the outdoor patio upstairs, and free!
* *Bubble Hockey*
This is upstairs. Up to four people can play at once, and it costs $1. Takes quarters.
* *Cornhole*
There are two cornhole lanes upstairs, and they're both free!
* *Basketball*
There are two basketball machines downstairs. They're tucked behind the downstairs bar, so they're not always obvious unless you go look for them. They're $2 per play, and they take quarters.
* *NES and Sega Genesis video games*
These are collections, downstairs (near the Gorf machine!), of video games that you can play for free!
* *The Big Metal Indoor Slide*
This large two-story slide is for kids, and certainly no adults would ride this. After all, it's not like it's free or anything.
**Outdoor Patio**
Pins at Easton actually has two outdoor patios. But for our purposes, only the upstairs one matters. See, it will be winter and likely cold. But their upstairs patio has multiple ceiling heaters and two massive gas fire pits that put out a ton of heat. Sitting out here may be a real option.
As mentioned above, the upstairs outdoor patio has one of the venue's two Patio Pong setups, one of their multiple Giant Jengas, the Giant Connect Four, and Hookie.
**Food**
Pins doesn't serve food, but there's a [Mikey's Late Night Slice](https://www.latenightslice.com/) next door. This Mikey's is basically an extension of the Easton Pins; there's a large open doorway between both establishments. Mikey's has a fountain dispenser with Coke products.
You can also get Coke and Diet Coke (but not Coke Zero, like you can at Mikey's) at the bars in Pins, but I think the quality of the soda pop from Mikey's fountain is better than that from the bar hoses Pins uses to dispense soft drinks.
You are also quite allowed at Pins to either bring food in or order it in via your favorite delivery app.
**Parking**
I recommend parking in the [Worth Garage](https://eastontowncenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/parking-at-easton-updated-file-sept-25.pdf). It's literally right next door to Pins, and it's free as long as you park on Level 2 or above.
They recently started charging people to park on Level 1, and you pay for parking on this level the same way you pay for street parking in Columbus, with the [ParkColumbus](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.parkmobile.parkcolumbus&hl=en_US&pli=1) app.
I've seen them enforce this by ticketing people's cars, but I don't know how they actually compel payment. The garage is not a public street that actual cops can write you tickets for parking illegally on. If you have an actual ticket from a cop that you don't pay, they can go so far as to issue a warrant for your arrest. But all Easton has, seemingly, is, "[Please pay our ticket](https://eastonpreferredpark.com/)." Still, in my ongoing efforts to eliminate needless stress and aggravation from my life, I just park above the first Level.
The actual address of the garage is [4049 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4049+Worth+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43219/@40.0542293,-82.9137962,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388a86de3af559:0xc1dc8b4661fc834f!8m2!3d40.0542293!4d-82.9137962!16s%2Fg%2F11sgzjp4ml?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDkyNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). However, your GPS is stupid. The actual entrances to the garage are on the cross steets Brighton Rose Way and Fenlon St, not Worth Ave. Just keep this in mind once you get to the garage.
**Where we'll meet**
I'll post in the comments where I am. People will obviously want to explore different areas of the venue over the course of the event (and there's a lot to explore), but please just let me know (as in, come find me) once you've arrived.
**Peroration**
Come on out and say hi! 😄
