Sharing food is love! So why not spend the “day of love” making food?

Ideally, we would love to celebrate love every day of the year, but as long as that’s not the case, why not choose an alternative that doesn’t support consumerism (and for which you don’t need a date). But you’re more than welcome to bring one. Or two! Or as many as you want!

The focus will be on pickles, so on that beautiful day you’ll leave our event not only with a full heart but with some jars of pickles to take home with you as well. We will provide the jars and ingredients, but feel free to bring anything you’d like. We will prioritise vegetables that are currently in season and that we can source from Irish farmers.

This is a masked event. FFP2 respirator masks will be provided.

☆ When ☆
Saturday 14th of February from 2pm to 5pm.

☆ Where ☆
137th Balally Scout Den, Wedgewood, Dublin 16 (near the Beacon Hospital).

☆ What ☆
Community skill-share on pickling our food! More info on Eventbrite/flyPost.

"When people imagine alternatives together, they build resilience". Putting pen to paper as a community is our literal interpretation of this - positive futures are so much easier to imagine when you can see them drawn out in front of you!

Heavily inspired by 's "Bad Art For Good", we're gathering to create, envision and explore what a hopeful future could look like through the medium of art.

When:
Saturday 24th January from 2pm to 5pm

Where:
137th Balally Scout Den, Wedgewood, Dublin 16 (near the Beacon Hospital)

What:
See our flyPost for more details, or read the info pack in our bio!

Let's nurture a kinder world together, one poorly drawn but hopeful message at a time 🎁

* moved online due to illness *

Please join us for a low-spoons introduction to mending and repairing textiles as we practice what we preach and keep our community safe from airborne illness 🤍 We'll be moving this offering to run solely through Zoom, but we have a lovely local venue and a hybrid offering of the same workshop in the back pocket for the second half of January! 🧵

We'll have more access info on the event up in our linktree shortly. Until then, grá mór from our beds to yours 🌻
