Join us for a cozy and creative evening where tea, poetry, and community come together. We will have time to write, and people are welcome to bring their own favorite poem, and at the end, share it with everyone else (optional). We will have light writing prompts and a warm cup of tea as we reflect on the theme of “Love, Unromanticized” - moments of self-love, friendship, grief, and care.
All are welcome. Whether you're a seasoned poet or a quiet listener, there's a place for you here. No prior experience needed.
