How to read a classic?
2026-07-10 19:30 - 21:30 (Europe/Amsterdam)
Join us for an accessible and engaging conversation about how to approach classic literature without intimidation. In this event, we’ll explore what makes a book a “classic,” why these works continue to matter today, and how they reflect the historical moments in which they were written.
Whether you already love classics or have always felt overwhelmed by them, this activity is designed to help readers build confidence, curiosity, and a more personal relationship with literature.
No prior academic experience is necessary, just an interest in reading, conversation and gossips, of course.

Poetry Night
2026-07-21 19:00 - 21:00
Join us for an intimate evening dedicated to poetry, creativity, and reflection. This is a gentle invitation to slow down, connect with words, and explore your own voice through writing in a supportive, women-only space.
The Flow of the Evening
We will begin our time together with a short introduction and the reading of an inspirational poem to set the tone. From there, we will transition into a quiet writing session. We will provide prompts designed to spark ideas and help you comfortably put pen to paper.
No previous writing experience is required. Whether you write poetry daily or have never written a single line, you are warmly welcome here. You are also encouraged to write in whichever language feels most natural to you.
At the end of the evening, there will be an opportunity to share your work with the group. But there is absolutely no pressure to do so.
What to Bring
* A notebook and your favorite pen.
* An optional favorite poetry collection, if you would like to draw inspiration from it or share a piece with the group.
Event Details & Tickets
* Time: 19:00 – 21:00 (Doors open at 18:45 so you can arrive early, settle in, grab a cozy spot, and connect with fellow poetry lovers before we begin).
* Ticket Price: 15€
* Cancellation Policy: Free cancellation up to 72 hours before the event.
Meet Your Hosts
This evening is lovingly hosted by Anoushka (@confessionsofadutchiefrenchie) and Livia (@livia_hirsch), two women deeply passionate about books, nature, love, and the magic of community. Our mission is to create a soft, welcoming space for women to connect, slow down, and create together.
