SUMMARY:From Swipe to Script: Mine your dating disasters for literary manna (women-only)
DESCRIPTION:If you’re exhausted by endless text threads\, unavailable people\, ghosts (why is that even a related word?!)\, and the sheer absurdity of modern “dating”\, it is time to take your power back! \nYou don’t need another dating app—you need a room full of shrewd women\, a notebook\, and a place to laugh your silly head off. \nJoin us at this interactive\, two-hour Intro for a short meditation\, playful improv activity\, curated writing prompt\, writing time and optional share. \nUsing your chosen literary genre and the playful spontaneity of improv\, we will transform bad dates\, heartbreak\, and romantic boundary-crossing into powerful creative expression. We will laugh at mansplainers\, give makeovers to bad dates and rewrite horrific breakup texts! The stage and page will be our oysters as we embrace our wild (and perhaps jaded) selves! \nNo experience necessary. \nLed by professional dater — er poet\, dating-playwright (A Coveted Wife of East Van\, Vancouver Fringe)\, journalist and 30-year writing-workshop-facilitation veteran Marn Norwich\, this intimate\, transformative 4-week circle is a darkly funny\, deeply cathartic space to process romantic letdowns and reclaim your worth. \nLearn how to hurdle blocks\, tap into your resilience\, and rewrite your personal narrative with complete creative authority! \nThis is a free intro to the women’s trauma-informed\, four-week masterclass running Tuesdays\, October 22 – November 10\, 2026\, 6:30 – 8:30 pm ($400 + GST).

SUMMARY:Screen-Printing Workshop\, Unchai Cafe Popup\, Flash Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In this interactive workshop\, you’ll learn the basics of screen printing\, no experience required\, just curiosity (and maybe an old shirt that needs a glow-up). We’ll bring the screens and all the gear\, featuring Unchai’s designs (5+ designs to chose from). You just bring something you’d love to print on: a shirt\, hoodie\, jacket\, tote bag… whatever needs a little personality. This session is beginner-friendly\, perfect for anyone curious about screen printing or just looking for a creative way to make their clothes less… store-bought. \nWhat’s Unchai all About? \nUnchai is a specialty beverage label\, brewed straight from the bold and beautiful chaos of South Asian ingredients. We are taking ‘un’-traditional spin on good old ‘chai’ by featuring unique blends like rose saffron chai\, chai hot chocolate and pistachio mocha. Chai’s our first love\, but we flirt with South Asian coffee beverages too\, because why stop at one addiction. The Hindi word ‘unchai’ is a metaphor for ambition\, growth\, or rising above. More info @unchai.cafe on IG. \nFlash Tattoo Pop-Up \nWe’re turning it up a notch with a flash tattoo station by Shreya (@inkedbyshreyaaa_). Choose from 20+ designs\, all at a flat $50 each. Whether it’s your first tattoo or your next one\, Shreya’s bringing crisp lines\, bold styles\, and plenty of options to make the night unforgettable. \nYour Ticket Includes: \n🌻 Guided instruction on screen printing techniques\n🌻 Screenprinting on cloths\, totebags\, posters etc.\n🌻 One free drink from Unchai\n🌻 Access to flash tattoo station \nSpots are limited\, so grab your ticket and join us for an evening of caffeine\, and community!
