Silent Reading / Creating Club at W66 (Saturday) [Luma to RSVP]

RSVP on Luma: https://luma.com/gakcu99i Silent Reading / Creating Club is a gathering for people who enjoy focusing together in public. Bring a book, a notebook, a sketchpad, knitting needles, whatever you’d like to spend a quiet hour doing. All projects and all participants are welcome. We’re building a community of readers and creators who value depth, presence, and shared silence. The reading and creating isn't the real highlight, though, it’s in the people who return and make it feel like a familiar room. (Please RSVP “yes” only if you can make it, so we can save a seat for you and others on the waitlist.) Our Meeting Point is the **W66 Café**. There’s no entrance fee, but please order at least one item from the café and don’t bring outside food or drinks 🙂 No assignments, expectations, or pressure. Just a shared hour of intentional silence, followed by the opportunity for good conversation. 🕰 Our Agenda **10:30 – 11:00** Arrivals, ordering drinks/food, light social time **11:00 – 12:00** The Great Quiet Hour (Read. Write. Sketch. Code. Think. Sit.) **12:00 – 12:30** Optional socializing: share what you were reading or creating, or simply continue in quiet focus. ## 🏡 House Guidelines To keep this space calm and welcoming for everyone: • Silence during the focus hour (no calls or conversations) • Put cellphones on silent mode • If using technology, please avoid meetings or audio (headphones please!) • Arrive before 11:00 if possible to minimize disruptions

Delulu is the solulu

**Women only!** I love to welcome women who have big dreams and want to create something... This will be the first of a series of meetup's where we will go through the book **"The Limit Does Not Exist" by Shoshanna Raven**. We will find out what's holding each of us back to become the version who lives the life we envision for ourselves. I will prepare a summary of the chapter we're on (this time: prologue "Undressed") for each meetup which means you don't have to read the book yourself but I highly recommend doing it! Why? First of all it's such an easy and fun read. And second of all you will get so much more out of out gathering when you are fully commited. **These meetup's are for women who are ready to get moving!** Let's make our dreams reality!!
