Cooking

\*\* This is now a "standing-room only" event \*\* In order to accommodate everyone, we won't be seated (there will be a few chairs for people who get tired) and we'll try to create a relaxed vibe - but I'll still tell you all about the wines and regions. I am travelling in North-West Italy in February and will return with wines from independent wineries in Piedmont and Liguria. As well as blockbusters such as Barolo, Barbera and Cortese di Gavi, I’m expecting to source some interesting and delicious varietals such as Pigato, Dolcetto, and maybe some grappa and bubbles! Of course, I’ll be sure to pick up some local cheeses, truffles, focaccia, pesto, and other regional specialities that pair with the wines. We'll learn all about this astonishing mountain-river-coastal terroir, and the fascinating history starting with the Celto-Ligurians 600 years BCE and influenced by the Greeks, Etruscans, Romans, and Burgundians. The whole experience (7 wines and plenty of food) will cost you just €35 - you can pay on the night! Cheers, Sean

Officially register for location details here! https://luma.com/lc0ibzp5 Hey friends! 👋 ​We’re diving into The Tears of Things by Richard Rohr, and you’re invited to join the conversation. Each month, we read one chapter and gather to explore what resonates — from compassion and anger to hope and how we make meaning in messy times. ​This month, we’re talking about Chapter 6! Totally fine if you missed previous book club chapters, it's easy to join in the conversation. ​Come as you are — curious, questioning, or quietly taking it in. Let us know if you're in! (So we can get enough snacks! ☺️) ​ ​Book overview: ​In his first major work since The Universal Christ, one of our most prominent spiritual voices offers a wholehearted and hope-filled model for living today, grounded in the timeless words of the Hebrew prophets. ​How do we live compassionately in a time of violence and despair? What can we do with our private disappointments and the anger we feel over an unfair world? In his most personal book yet, Richard Rohr turns to the writings of the Jewish prophets, showing how some of the lesser-read books of the Bible offer us a path forward today. ​The prophets' writings echo the spectrum of human development. Beneath their initial fervor and their powerful words, there lies a profound lamentation about our shared human condition and the pain of the world. Yet, in their astute critiques of culture and institutions, and their movement from anger and lament to wholeness and hope, the prophets embody what Rohr calls holy disorder— a distinct approach to confronting malevolence and recognizing the wholeness of every living being. ​Drawing on a century of Biblical scholarship and written in the warm, pastoral voice that has endeared millions to Rohr, The Tears of Things breathes new life into ancient wisdom and paves a path of enlightenment for anyone seeking a wholehearted way of living in a hurting world. ​About the author, Richard Rohr: ​Franciscan friar and ecumenical teacher, Father Richard Rohr bears witness to the deep wisdom of Christian mysticism and traditions of action and contemplation. Founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation, Father Richard teaches how God’s grace guides us to our birthright as beings made of Divine Love. He is the author of numerous books, including The Universal Christ, The Wisdom Pattern, Just This, and Falling Upward.

Probieren Sie mit uns die japanische Kalligrafie aus! Alles Notwendige steht bereit, kommen Sie einfach und genießen Sie. Die Tradition der Kalligrafie wurde erstmals im 6. Jahrhundert von China nach Japan gebracht. Der Stil und die Technik, die in Japan einzigartig sind, haben sich später herausgebildet und wurden von den Samurai, dem Adel und der breiten Öffentlichkeit praktiziert. Wir üben verschiedene Arten von Kanji und versuchen, sie in künstliche Werke umzusetzen, die Sie natürlich auch mit nach Hause nehmen können. Ich hoffe, Sie haben Spaß und entdecken neue japanische Kunst! Try out Japanese calligraphy with us! Everything you need is ready, just come and enjoy. The tradition of calligraphy was first brought to Japan from China in the 6th century. The style and technique, unique to Japan, later evolved and was practiced by the samurai, the nobility and the general public. We will practice different types of kanji and try to transform them into artistic works, which you can of course take home with you. I hope you have fun and discover new Japanese art! 書道のワークショップを開催します。 皆さんと楽しく練習して、最後には作品が作れればと思っています。 道具もすべてこちらで準備していますのでぜひご参加ください！

**Our March pick is *God of the Woods* by Liz Moore.** **This month’s novel is an award-winning literary mystery that blends family drama with psychological suspense. It explores women’s voices and relationships while delivering an exciting, eerie, and deeply suspenseful story. The book is 576 pages in print or 14 hours and 35 minutes on audiobook.** Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found. As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.

Inspired by our successful events like "Saturday Mornings @ East Market" and other "Pot Luck in the Park" lunches, this gathering promises to be a blend of fun conversations, language exchange, and cultural insights, all while sharing wonderful foods with each other.
