Chinese New Year Calligraphy
Title: Chinese Calligraphy in the Park 🖌️🍃 (Beginner-Friendly)
Description:
Join us for a calm, aesthetic outdoor session of Chinese calligraphy in the park — a slow, mindful practice where nature becomes your studio.
We’ll begin with a short story: how Chinese characters were inspired by observing nature, and why in calligraphy the most important thing isn’t speed, but attention.
Then we’ll practice step by step:
• Brush basics: how to hold the brush, where to press, where to stay light
• Water practice: strokes on water-writing sheets (they appear, then fade — no fear of mistakes)
• Ink practice: training sheets with ink for deeper, more confident movement
• Final piece: your chosen character on rice paper
(Optional: add a fingerprint stamp as a personal mark of the moment)
You’ll leave with your finished calligraphy — a small art object and a memory of a quiet, beautiful morning.
What to bring:
Comfortable clothes, a bottle of water, and a curious mind.
All calligraphy materials are provided (brush, ink, water sheets, paper).
Level:
Open to beginners — no experience needed.
Meeting point:
📍 Parc Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves Parc Naturel Départemental Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves
🕒 22.02.2026, 10:00 AM (duration: 1–1.5 hours)

The Gir With the Louding Voice Abi Dare

[Menu, scroll to the bottom](https://www.knottypinebrewing.net/menus-1)
Book summary:
Adunni is a fourteen-year-old Nigerian girl who knows what she wants: an education. This, her mother has told her, is the only way to get a "louding voice" -- the ability to speak for herself and decide her own future. But instead, Adunni's father sells her to be the third wife of a local man who is eager for her to bear him a son and heir. When Adunni runs away to the city, hoping to make a better life, she finds that the only other option before her is servitude to a wealthy family. As a yielding daughter, a subservient wife, and a powerless slave, Adunni is told, by words and deeds, that she is nothing. But while misfortunes might muffle her voice for a time, they cannot mute it. And when she realizes that she must stand up not only for herself, but for other girls, for the ones who came before her and were lost, and for the next girls, who will inevitably follow, she finds the resolve to speak, however she can--in a whisper, in song, in broken English--until she is heard

"The Enchanted Greenhouse" by Sarah Beth Durst
Come join us for tea and brunch at ZenCha as we discuss our March read, "The Enchanted Greenhouse"!
Book description:
Terlu Perna broke the law because she was lonely. She cast a spell and created a magically sentient spider plant. As punishment, she was turned into a wooden statue and tucked away into an alcove in the North Reading Room of the Great Library of Alyssium.
This should have been the end of her story . . . Yet one day, Terlu wakes in the cold of winter on a nearly-deserted island full of hundreds of magical greenhouses. She’s starving and freezing, and the only other human on the island is a grumpy gardener. To her surprise, he offers Terlu a place to sleep, clean clothes, and freshly baked honey cakes—at least until she’s ready to sail home.
But Terlu can’t return home and doesn’t want to—the greenhouses are a dream come true, each more wondrous than the next. When she learns that the magic that sustains them is failing—causing the death of everything within them—Terlu knows she must help. Even if that means breaking the law again.
This time, though, she isn’t alone. Assisted by the gardener and a sentient rose, Terlu must unravel the secrets of a long-dead sorcerer if she wants to save the island—and have a fresh chance at happiness and love.
